Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you, uhh
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta faith
Because I gotta to have faith faith
I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I wait for something more
Yes I've gotta have faith
Unh I gotta faith
Because I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
I just got to wait
Because I got to have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta, gotta, gotta have faith
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I wait for something more
'Cause I've gotta have faith
Unh I gotta faith
Because I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
George Michael's song "Faith" is a powerful expression of love and trust, as well as the caution and hesitation that come with giving one's heart away. The lyrics are reflective of the singer's struggle to find true devotion in a relationship, while also acknowledging his own faults and understanding the potential risks involved. In the beginning, he expresses his admiration for his lover's physical appearance, but also acknowledges that he needs to be careful not to give his heart away too easily. He then goes on to say that he needs some time to remove himself from the emotional strife of a relationship, which can be difficult when there is no devotion. The singer is aware that he needs to pursue someone who will be with him even when times are tough.
The chorus of the song, with its repetition of the phrase "I gotta have faith," reinforces the idea that love must be built on trust and commitment. The singer recognizes that love is an investment in another person, and that there are risks involved; however, he also believes that this risk is worth taking. He continues to express his caution in the bridge, acknowledging that his previous experiences with love have not always been positive. Nevertheless, he ultimately affirms his belief that finding true love is worth waiting and hoping for.
Overall, "Faith" is a powerful and meaningful song that taps into some of the deepest emotions and struggles we face in our relationships. It is a timeless expression of the yearning for love that we all feel, and the hope and faith we need to hold on to that love when we find it.

Actually faith is after heartless
I think it's in this order
Alone again
Too late
Hardest to love
Scared to love
Snowchild
Escape from la
Heartless
Faith
Blinding lights
In your eyes
Save your tears
Repeat after me
After hours
Until I bleed out
You gotta listen to the songs outros because they're similar to the next song's Intros
@Mr_Morgan
Best part of this song is;
I lost my faith
I'm losing my religion every day
Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray
When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love
Oh, someone I love
Faith
I'm losing my religion every day
Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray
When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love
Oh, someone I love

[Intro]
No, no, no, no, no-no
Ooh
No, no, no, no, no-no
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Light a blunt up with the flame
Put that cocaine on a plate
Molly with the purple rain
'Cause I lost my faith
So I cut away the pain, uh
Got it swimming in my veins
Now my mind is outta place, yeah, uh
'Cause I lost my faith
[Chorus]
And I feel everything
I feel everything from my body to my soul
No, no
Well, I feel everything
When I'm coming down is the most I feel alone
No, no
[Post-Chorus]
I've been sober for a year, now it's time for me
To go back to my old ways, don't you cry for me
Thought I'd be a better man, but I lied to me and to you
[Verse 2]
I take half a Xan' and I still stay awake
All my demons wanna pull me to my grave
I choose Vegas if they offer Heaven's gate
I tried to love, but you know I'd never stay
I'd never stay
But if I OD, I want you to OD right beside me
I want you to follow right behind me
I want you to hold me while I'm smilin'
While I'm dyin'
And if you know me
When I go missing, you know where to find me
Driving down the boulevard is blindin'
Always blinded by the desert lights and
I'm alive when
[Chorus]
I feel everything
I feel everything from my body to my soul
No, no
Girl, I feel everything
When I'm coming down is the most I feel alone
No, no
[Bridge]
I lost my faith
I'm losing my religion every day
Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray
When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love
Oh, someone I love
Faith
I'm losing my religion every day
Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray
When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love
Oh, someone I love
[Outro]
I ended up in the back of a flashing car
With the city shining on my face
The lights are blinding me again
I ended up in the back of a flashing car
With the city shining on my face
The lights are blinding me again
I ended up (I ended up), in the back of a flashing car (Back of a flashing car)
