One, two

One, two, three, four

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

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

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

But you're gonna face

A moment of truth

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

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

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

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

I'm sure you're aware love

We've both had our share of

Believing too long

When the whole situation was wrong

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

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

Because it's always been

A matter of trust

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
