Faith
Limp Bizkit Lyrics

Well, I guess it would be nice
The singer desires to touch the body of someone, making the assumption that it would be nice.

If I could touch your body
The singer longs to have physical contact with another person's body.

I know not everybody
The singer understands that not everyone has a body like theirs.

Has got a body like me
The artist acknowledges that their body is unique from others.

But I gotta think twice
The artist needs to be cautious before giving away their heart and emotions.

Before I give my heart away
The singer doesn't want to give their heart away without taking the time to consider the consequences.

And I know all the games you play
The singer is aware of the manipulative actions the other person may be taking in the relationship.

'Cause I play them too
The artist has also played these games in previous relationships.

Oh, but I need some time off
The artist needs a break from the emotional turmoil of the relationship.

From that emotion
The artist needs to separate themselves from their emotional attachment to the other person.

Time to pick my heart up off the floor
The singer must heal from past emotional pain before they can continue in the relationship.

When that love comes down
When love becomes overwhelming and intense for the artist.

Without devotion
Without commitment from both parties in the relationship.

Well it takes a strong man, baby
It takes someone with mental and emotional strength to walk away from a relationship without devotion.

But I'm showin' you that door
The singer is indicating that they are leaving the relationship behind due to the other person's lack of devotion.

I gotta have faith
The artist needs to believe in themselves and their choices.

Gotta have faith
The repetition emphasizes the artist's desire to have faith in themselves and move on.

Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
The other person is begging the singer not to leave the relationship.

Say please, please, please don't go away
The other person is using multiple pleases to show their desperate need for the singer not to leave.

'Cause you're givin' me the blues
The relationship is causing the artist emotional distress.

Maybe you might mean all the words you say
The artist is considering the possibility that the other person is being sincere in their pleas.

Can't help but think of yesterday
The artist is reflecting on past relationships and how they have been hurt in the past.

And another who tied me down to the lover boy rules
The singer is remembering a past relationship where they were held down by the restrictive rules of their partner.

Before this river becomes an ocean
The artist must end the relationship before it becomes too intense and overwhelming.

Before you pick my heart up off the floor
The singer doesn't want to fall back into the emotional trap of the relationship.

Get the fuck up
The singer is using profanity to emphasize their strength and independence.

Faith
The singer is reminding themselves to have faith in their decisions and move on with their life.

Have faith
A repetition of the previous thought, reminding the artist to be strong and have faith in themselves.

Ah
An ambiguous, emotional utterance that highlights the artist's mixed feelings about the relationship and moving on.
