[Verse 1]
If I close my eyes, will it come to life?
Is it something I'm dreaming of?
If a steady head doesn't rule my heart
Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?

And I'll remember all the things you said
[Chorus]
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold on to what is there
And count the saints

To shield my hopes from the raining sky
And arrange it all into simple lines
To be a part of a world where love can reside
And the hopes I hold in my careful hands
Well they don't get out alive
And I gave myself to an honest man
Who couldn't keep his promises
[Chorus]
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold on to what is there
And count the saints
And count the saints
And count the saints
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold on to what is there
And count the saints
And count the saints
And count the saints
