lyrics

I trusted you
You gave me no reason not to
Until you left me for some girl you knew
For a week or two
And I trusted you

I remember all the words of the song that you wrote for me,
“Nowhere to be, come and float with me
Stay and talk awhile with a twinkle in my eye, hold true”

You said hold true, before you left out of the blue
Before you crumbled like a coward and made some sick excuse
You said you’d hold true and I trusted you

It’s a shame all the words that you sang didn’t mean a thing
And I stood by your side even when you lied
Ten thousand miles across the sea

And I sent you a letter in the afternoon of November sixteenth
Just a few hours before you called me up and told me you’d be leaving
This is not the man I knew you to be who told me you’d be true to me

As we sat on the bathroom floor and you told me
“There’s nothing to be scared of don’t you see
I’ve always got your back so don’t worry”
And you kissed me in the door frame soft and sweet

So I trusted you
You gave me no reason not to
Until you left me for some girl you’ve known
For a week or two
And I trusted you
I trusted you
I trusted you

I trusted you
You gave me no reason not to
Until you left me for some girl you’ve known
For a week or two
And I trusted you
