Lyrics

[00:00.55]
[00:01.03][..... One, two - One, two, three, four .....]
[00:05.38]
[00:13.97] Some love is just a lie of the heart
[00:18.88] The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
[00:24.23] And they may not want it to end
[00:28.40] But it will it's just a question of when
[00:31.88] I've lived long enough to have learned
[00:36.18] The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
[00:41.53] But that won't happen to us
[00:45.88] 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
[00:49.46] - * -
[00:58.00] I know you're an emotional girl
[01:02.09] It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
[01:07.87] I can't offer you proof
[01:12.04] But you're going to face a moment of truth
[01:15.34] It's hard when you're always afraid
[01:19.75] You just recover when another belief is betrayed
[01:25.35] So break my heart if you must
[01:29.52] It's a matter of trust
[01:31.97] You can't go the distance
[01:36.08] With too much resistance
[01:40.50] I know you have doubts
[01:44.98] But for God's sake don't shut me out
[01:48.55] - * -
[01:50.20] This time you've got nothing to lose
[01:54.62] You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose
[02:00.28] I won't hold back anything
[02:04.38] And I'll walk away a fool or a king
[02:07.62] Some love is just a lie of the mind
[02:11.91] It's make believe until its only a matter of time
[02:17.76] And some might have learned to adjust
[02:21.70] But then it never was a matter of trust
[02:25.24] - * -
[02:41.36] I'm sure you're aware love
[02:45.65] We've both had our share of believing too long
[02:54.11] When the whole situation was wrong
[02:59.65] Some love is just a lie of the soul
[03:04.06] A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
[03:09.66] After you've heard lie upon lie
[03:13.64] There can hardly be a question of why
[03:16.88] Some love is just a lie of the heart
[03:21.42] The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
[03:27.14] But that can't happen to us
[03:31.31] 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
[03:34.67]
[03:36.90] it's a matter of trust...
[03:39.52]
[03:45.06] it's always been a matter of trust...
[03:47.62]
[03:54.46] it's a matter of trust...
[03:56.99]
[04:02.17] 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust...
[04:05.30]
