Tristessa

Pledged your faith
My heart embraced
Struggle to renew
Blurry mind
so hypnotized
Fast enough who
Wonder where you are
Tristessa
Soul takes soul
As I take eye
I will wait for you
What you believe
You'll wish to recieve
I won't believe in you
Hang on to your life
Tristessa
I love you true
Surely I do
I love you true
Surely I do
Surely I do
Surely I do (no)
Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake far from home?
What you believe
You'll wish to recieve
I won't believe in you
Tristessa
