[Intro]
You said, "Trust me"
Guess I heard that
Way too often
Till it meant jack
[Verse 1]
If you can't keep your word
Why you keep your mouth runnin'
Talk big, walk backwards
Guess you practiced that stuntin'
We put faith in your handshake
Thought your name had weight
Turns out you were just playin'
We was food on your plate
We remembered every favor
You forgot every face
We was buildin' up a table
You was countin' just your place
A lie is a lie you tell yourself
Say you real, then you sell yourself
We gave you respect, you shelved it
Now you hate the mirror, can’t help it
[Chorus]
Why should we believe your empty promises
You broke every bridge, then asked what the problem is
We trusted in the hope you would honor what you said
But you buried all that loyalty and left it there for dead
Why should we believe your empty promises
You talk about respect, but your actions always opposite
We trusted in the hope you would be the one who stays
Now we only trust the silence when you finally walk away
[Verse 2]
You rehearse apologies
Like lines in a cheap play
Say you'll change tomorrow
Then repeat the same day
You swear that you’re solid
Till pressure hits, you melt
Blame the world for your choices
But you dealt your own hell
We counted on your memory
You remembered just the clout
We was real in the background
You was fake for the crowd
Now you standing in the fallout
Tryna say it ain’t that deep
But trust once shattered
Cuts way past skin, it don’t sleep
[Chorus]
Why should we believe your empty promises
You broke every bridge, then asked what the problem is
We trusted in the hope you would honor what you said
But you buried all that loyalty and left it there for dead
Why should we believe your empty promises
You talk about respect, but your actions always opposite
We trusted in the hope you would be the one who stays
Now we only trust the silence when you finally walk away
