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

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
