VERSE:
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will, it's just a question of when
VERSE:
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
But that won't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust
INSTRUMENTAL: - PLAY INTRO -
VERSE:
I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth
VERSE:
It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust
BREAK:
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts sl.
/
But for God's sake don't shut me out
VERSE:
This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
VERSE:
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust
INSTRUMENTAL: PLAY IMPROVISED INTRO 3x's THEN A BARRE CHORD A or POWER CHORD A
BREAK:
I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of believing too long sl.
/
When the whole situation was wrong
VERSE:
Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
VERSE:
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
OUTRO:
PLAY INTRO OVER AND OVER (about 5 times)AND SING THESE WORDS ....
It's a matter of trust
It's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
