Lyrics

(D)One, two, one, two, three, four. Some love is just a (Bm7)lie of the heart, the cold re mains of what be (Bm7)gan with a pas sion ate start; and they may not want it to end, but it will, it’s just a ques tion of when. I’ve lived long e (Bm7)nough to have learned the clos er you get to the (Bm7)fire er the more you get burned; but that won’t hap pen to us be cause it’s al ways been a mat ter of trust. I know you’re an e (Bm7)mo tion al girl; it took a lot for you to (Bm7)not lose your faith in this world. and they I can’t of fer you proof, but you’re gon na face a mo ment of truth. It’s hard when you’re (Bm7)al ways a fraid. You just re cov er when an (Bm7)oth er be lief is be trayed. So, break my heart if you must; be cause it’s al ways been a mat ter of trust. it’s a mat ter of trust. You (G)can’t go the dis tance with (D)too much re sist ance. I (Em7)know you have (A)doubts, but, for (Gmaj7)God’s sake, u don’t shut me out. This time, is you’ve got (Bm7)noth ing to lose; a you can take it, you can (Bm7)leave it, what ev er you choose. Af I won’t hold back an y thing, and I’ll walk a way a fool or a king. Some love is just a (Bm7)lie of the mind; it’s make be lieve un til it’s (Bm7)on ly a mat ter of time. And some might have learned to ad just, but then it nev er was a mat ter of trust. I’m al ways been a mat ter of trust.
