Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
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 2]
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
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
[Verse 3]
Now I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
But I can't offer you proof
That you're going to face a moment of truth
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake, don't shut me out
[Verse 5]
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 6]
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
[Bridge]
I'm sure you're aware, love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong
[Verse 7]
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 8]
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]
It's a matter of trust
It's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
