Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Faithless love
Like a river flows
Like raindrops falling
On a broken rose
Down in some valley
Where nobody goes
Where the night blows in
Like a cold dark wind
Faithless love
Like a river flows
[Verse 2]
Faithless love
Where did I go wrong?
Too many stories
Too many heartbreak songs
Where nobody's right
And nobody's wrong
Faithless love will find you
And the misery entwine you
Faithless love
Where did I go wrong?
[Bridge]
Well, I guess I'm standing
In the hall of broken dreams
That's the way it sometimes goes
And ever a new love
Never turns out like it seems
I guess the feeling comes and goes
[Verse 3]
Faithless love
Like a river flows
Like raindrops falling
On a broken rose
Down in some valley
Where nobody goes
Faithless love has found me
Thrown its chilly arms around me
Faithless love
Faithless love
Like a river flows
