Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Everyone said leave you alone We wouldn’t have a happy home Because you went from man to man And I should get out while I can [Verse] You said the stories weren’t true And I was the only one for you So I overlooked what they said And ready for the good times ahead [Verse] And then I’ll swear and be damned You went and found another man Just what you said you wouldn’t do When you swore that your love was true [Chorus] Tell me why did I trust you When everyone said not to You had a way of playing me I was to blind and couldn’t see Tell me why did I trust you It was so easy for me to do Because I let my guard down I’m the biggest joke in this town Tell me why did I trust you You made me such a lonely fool Maybe I’m meant to be alone Because I’m still here and you’re gone Tell me why… Why did I trust you [Guitar Solo] [Verse] At the start I had my doubts That our marriage would work out I had concerns about your past But you promised it would last [Verse] When you left my heart was broke You’d treated me just like a joke I just guess that I wasn’t enough Moving on is gonna be tough [Verse] When you left I lost all trust You closed up tight the book of us I guess that’s how our story ends And how your new one begins [Chorus] Tell me why did I trust you When everyone said not to You had a way of playing me I was to blind and couldn’t see Tell me why did I trust you It was so easy for me to do Because I let my guard down I’m the biggest joke in this town Tell me why did I trust you You made me such a lonely fool Maybe I’m meant to be alone Because I’m still here and you’re gone Tell me why… Why did I trust you [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I found out that you lied and lied And quickly threw me to the side I found out the rumors were true Then I learned what everyone knew You never planned to settle down I was the new toy that you’d found All you wanted to do was play And then you’d just be on your way [Chorus] Tell me why did I trust you When everyone said not to You had a way of playing me I was to blind and couldn’t see Tell me why did I trust you It was so easy for me to do Because I let my guard down I’m the biggest joke in this town Tell me why did I trust you You made me such a lonely fool Maybe I’m meant to be alone Because I’m still here and you’re gone Tell me why… Why did I trust you [Final Chorus] Tell me why did I trust you When everyone said not to You had a way of playing me I was to blind and couldn’t see Tell me why did I trust you It was so easy for me to do Because I let my guard down I’m the biggest joke in this town Tell me why did I trust you You made me such a lonely fool Maybe I’m meant to be alone Because I’m still here and you’re gone Tell me why… Why did I trust you
