Trust issues

You say you’re different, yeah I heard that before

Every promise sound sweet till it hit the floor

I read between lines, I notice the tone

You say you’re all in, but you still guard your phone

I don’t need perfection, just honesty

But history keep talking louder than me

Every scar got a voice, every lie left proof

Now I’m loving you careful, that’s the truth

Pre-Chorus

It ain’t that I don’t want you close

It’s just I’ve been exposed

To love that looked like gold

But was poison in disguise

Chorus

I got trust issues, don’t mean I don’t care

I just learned the hard way love ain’t always fair

If I pull away, don’t take it personal

I’m protecting my heart, yeah it’s vulnerable

I got trust issues, yeah they came from pain

Still learning how to love without chains

If you stay patient, maybe we can get through

But right now, baby… I got trust issues

Verse 2

You ask me questions like “why you so guarded?”

‘Cause every time I opened up, someone departed

I give pieces slow, I don’t rush the truth

If you want my heart, gotta earn that too

I watch actions more than what you say

Consistency louder than bouquets

I ain’t trying to accuse or start a fight

Just need to feel safe when I turn off the light

Pre-Chorus

I crave a love that don’t confuse

Where I don’t gotta check for clues

If you real, let it show

I’ll meet you halfway slow

Chorus

I got trust issues, don’t mean I don’t care

I just learned the hard way love ain’t always fair

If I pull away, don’t take it personal

I’m protecting my heart, yeah it’s vulnerable

I got trust issues, yeah they came from pain

Still learning how to love without chains

If you stay patient, maybe we can get through

But right now, baby… I got trust issues

Bridge (half-sung / spoken)

If you leave, just say it

If you love me, display it

I’m tired of guessing games

And sleeping through the pain

Show me slow, show me real

Let me feel what you feel

Heal me where I’m bruised

Maybe then I’ll lose

These trust issues

Final Chorus

I got trust issues, but I’m trying, yeah

Trying not to bleed on you from old wounds, yeah

If you give me truth, I’ll give you truth too

I don’t need perfect, I just need you true

I got trust issues, but love still lives here

Just need reassurance, not fear

Hold me steady, don’t misuse

This heart with trust issues

Outro

I want you am hoping you want me too.
