[Verse 1]
The last time I trust you
Was the last time I bled like that
You said “I’d never hurt you”
Funny how forever never lasts
Every promise felt like pressure
Every secret turned to weight
You were smiling in the doorway
While you planned your great escape
[Chorus]
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
I trust nobody else
‘Cause every time I open up
They turn it on myself
Seems every time I try
To show who I am
I get shot down
Torn up
Left where I stand
So now trust must be proven
Step by step
Not spoken
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
My heart ain’t a token
[Verse 2]
I don’t buy the pretty stories
I don’t chase the sugar words
You can say you’re really different
I’ve already seen that turn
You want in
There’s a scoreboard
Every action
Every choice
I don’t listen to your poems
I’m listening to your voice
[Chorus]
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
I trust nobody else
‘Cause every time I open up
They turn it on myself
Seems every time I try
To show who I am
I get shot down
Torn up
Left where I stand
So now trust must be proven
Day by day
Not chosen
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
My heart stays closed
Still broken
[Bridge]
You want my faith?
Then stay when it’s ugly (hey)
You want my hand?
Hold it when I’m angry
You want my name?
Wear it when I’m empty
You want my love?
Earn it slowly
Gently
[Chorus]
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
I trust nobody else
‘Cause every time I open up
They turn it on myself
Seems every time I try
To show who I am
I get shot down
Torn up
Left where I stand
So now trust must be proven
Brick by brick
Not stolen
If it’s one thing I’ve learned
I give my heart
Only when it’s chosen
