Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Moody R&B ballad with male vocals over sparse electric piano and soft sub-bass; intimate, close-mic verses that almost feel spoken, then drums bloom in the hook with airy pads and stacked harmonies. Subtle guitar swells and a late-song lift in key for emotional payoff, keeping the groove slow and head-nodding.
