Billy Joel — A Matter of Trust

[Intro] One, two One, two, three, four [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I know you're an emotional girl It took a lot for you to not Lose your faith in this world But I can't offer you proof But you're gonna face A moment of truth [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I'm sure you're aware love We've both had our share of Believing too long When the whole situation was wrong [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] It's a matter of trust It's always been a matter of trust It's a matter of trust Cause it's always been A matter of trust
