[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
