Billy Joel - A Matter Of Trust lyrics

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.

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 going to 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 of 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 a way a fool or a king.

Some love is just a lie of the mind.

It's make believe until its only a matter of time.

And some might have learned to adjust,

But then it never was a matter of trust.

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.

It's a matter of trust ....

It's always been a matter of trust ....

It's a matter of trust ....

It's always been a matter of trust ....

It's a matter of trust .......................
