You ought to know by now
Nobody's coming to make a sound
You take the fork to your mouth
Have no shame
Try to contain
What's it like
What's it like
When everybody says you ain't trying
What's it like
What's it like
When everybody says you ain't even trying
Oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things
Should have known better
To ask for something
You wouldn't give
You take the words from your mouth
And nobody knows what the truth is
So what's the point
What's the point
When everybody else ain't even trying
What's the point, what's the point
When everybody else ain't even trying
Oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things
Oh, everybody's got their own part in their own play
And I wish I could pour some salt on this tepid rain
But oh, the faithful heart
Is when we start
With these trying things
