Faithless Heart

About Faithless Heart

"Faithless Heart" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the sixth and final single from Grant's very successful Lead Me On album. Unlike some of Grant's previous singles, this song made a sales and airplay impact on Christian radio but not on pop or "mainstream" radio. "Faithless Heart" is a downtempo song that caused eyebrows to raise when it was released in the late 1980s. The music adopts a haunting sound with Hammond organ music, whispering, and ominous background vocals. The very personal lyrics detail Grant's doubts about her marriage with then-husband Gary Chapman. In the song, she discusses her temptation to walk out on her husband but her defiant choice to resist temptation and "choose the man that waits for me with a heart that's true". Such messages of doubt had been a central theme of Grant's music up to the point and since, but the lyrics that some perceived as hinting at divorce or adultery made some in the Christian community uneasy. Nevertheless, the song was successful on Christian radio. more »

At times the women deep inside me 
Wanders far from home.
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone.
A heart running for arms out of reach.
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know,
But it scares me through and through.
Cause' I've a man at home
Who needs me to be true.

Oh, faithless heart
Be far away from me.
Playin' games inside my head
That no one else can see.
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore.

God, you know the feelings here
Can wipe my world away.
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made.
So hold me, I'm falling so fast.
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass.
As I walk away,
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart that's true.

Oh, faithless heart
Be far away from me.
Playin' games inside my head
That only I can see.
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore.

Faithless heart

Oh, faithless heart
Be far away from me.
Playin' games inside my head
That nobody else can see.
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore.
Oh, you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around.
