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
