Lyrics
Trust is a Four Letter Word
©C Tso 2018 BMI
Who do you believe, when the deck has crooked cards
You think you'd know by now, learning from your scars
There's no honor among thieves
When your confidence is burned
Don't look back when you leave
You feel jaded but you learned
Trust is a four letter word
Nailed to a double cross, with faith fading away
You're not certain if the sun will shine, once you've been betrayed
You have an iron heart
Cause the meek won't inherit the earth
Abandoned by the truth
Now all that's left is hurt
Trust is a four letter word
A knife can cut both ways
The time will come one day
To even the score
Shadows rise as the sun descends
Get back up and brush off the dirt
Look deception in the eye
And tell it what you learned
Trust is a four letter word
