How...?
How can you love if you don't trust?
Where is the love in selfish pride?
How must one prove the love they feel,
When one will only feel they've lied?
How to 'believe' in what's unseen?
How can you trust spoken half-truths?
How can you change your ways, from long gone days,
Seeds planted in your youth?
How do you know if love 'is love'?
How can you tell the truth from lies?
How do you know that happiness won't end,
In bittersweet goodbyes?
How do you tell if sweet warm kisses,
Are from love and not deceit?
How do you know you're on that two-way road,
And not that dead end street?
How do you know that he is yours?
How do you know she's yours alone?
How do you separate the love from pain,
When there alone at home?
How can you tell a broken heart,
Somehow, someway, that heart will mend?
How do you make the love-less feel somehow,
They're going to love again?
How do we...? Yes, well how indeed,
"How" is the question here today,
Maybe 'Belief and Faith's' the answer,
Maybe it'll help you find your way.
