lost faith
Trust gave out
Lost faith describes the collapse of belief or trust in something once held reliable.
You can lose faith in a religion, a person, an institution, or an ideal: She lost faith in the justice system after the verdict.
The phrase implies prior commitment—you can't lose what you never had.
I've lost faith that things will improve.
