2x

Some love is just a lie of the heart

 The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

And they may not want it to end

 But it will, it's just a question of when

I've lived long enough to have learned

 The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned

But that won't happen to us

 Because it's always been a matter of trust

2x

I know you're an emotional girl

 It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world

I can't offer you proof

 But you're gonna face a moment of truth

It's hard when you're always afraid

 You just recover when another belief is betrayed

So break my heart if you must

 It's a matter of trust

 You can't go the distance

 With too much resistance

 I know you have doubts

 But for God's sake don't shut me out

This time you've got nothing to lose

 You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose

I won't hold back anything

 And I'll walk away a fool or a king

Some love is just a lie of the mind

 It's make believe until it's only a matter of time

And some might have learned to adjust

 But then it never was a matter of trust

2x break

 I'm sure you're aware love

 We've both had our share of

 Believing too long

 When the whole situation was wrong

Some love is just a lie of the soul

 A constant battle for the ultimate state of control

After you've heard lie upon lie

 There can hardly be a question of why

Some love is just a lie of the heart

 The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

But that can't happen to us

 Because it's always been a matter of trust

 A matter of trust

2x

 It’s always been a matter of trust

2x

 It’s a matter of trust. . . .
