Trust Me

[Intro]

Trust me.

Trust me, I’ll protect you.

Trust me, I’m with you.

Trust me, I’ll respect you.

Trust me… yeah…

but none of it was true.

[Verse 1]

The most dangerous line to believe is “trust me,”

trust me, I’m this and I’m that.

Trust me, I’ll be there, I won’t hurt you,

your trust, I’m not gonna crack.

But they say it, replay it,

until you believe,

they know you crave it,

it’s your biggest need.

They see your hurt,

they see you’re alone,

they use it, play it,

then suddenly they’re gone.

They speak like safety,

move like relief,

give you exactly

what you needed to breathe.

You think maybe this time

it’s honest, it’s real,

maybe this person

means every word that you feel.

But some people learn you

just so they can get in,

then leave you wrecked

with a smile and a spin.

[Pre-Chorus]

And it sounds so sweet

when you need it the most,

like a hand in the dark,

like a light, like hope.

But some words don’t save,

they just sink in deep,

and the ones that destroy you

don’t always scream.

[Chorus]

Trust me, I’ll protect you.

Trust me, I’m with you.

Trust me, I’ll respect you.

Trust me… yeah…

but none of it was true.

Trust me hurts

in a way you can’t undo.

It starts like a spark,

then burns straight through.

Like a hollow point wound

that keeps opening in you,

and you wonder how somebody

could do what they do.

[Verse 2]

They say, “I got you,”

like it means they care,

say, “Lean on me,

I’ll always be there.”

And maybe for a second

they believe it too,

but truth without action

ain’t truth coming through.

I kept replaying

the things that they said,

trying to make sense

of the mess in my head.

Matching their promises

to what they really did,

but some lies wear love

like a perfect fit.

Trust kills,

but not like a 9mm would.

It’s a hollow point,

starts with a wound.

Then it spreads through your body,

from the skin to the soul,

breaking you quietly,

taking control.

[Pre-Chorus]

And it sounds so warm

when your guard is low,

when you want to believe

you finally found home.

But some people see

what your heart wants most,

and use that opening

to get close.

[Chorus]

Trust me, I’ll protect you.

Trust me, I’m with you.

Trust me, I’ll respect you.

Trust me… yeah…

but none of it was true.

Trust me hurts

in a way you can’t undo.

It starts like a spark,

then burns straight through.

Like a hollow point wound

that keeps opening in you,

and you wonder how somebody

could do what they do.

[Bridge]

How could you say it

so easy, so clean?

How could you hold me

and not mean a thing?

How could you see

what I needed the most,

then turn that ache

into something you stole?

You knew I was open.

You knew I was worn.

You knew what was missing.

You knew where I’d torn.

That’s why it hits deeper,

that’s why it stays,

because some betrayals

don’t leave in a day.

[Final Chorus]

Trust me, I’ll protect you.

Trust me, I’m with you.

Trust me, I’ll respect you.

Trust me… yeah…

but none of it was true.

Trust me hurts

like a shot you don’t see,

leaves no smoke in the air,

just damage in me.

Like a hollow point wound

still tearing right through,

and I still hear your voice

when I’m trying to mute you.

[Outro]

The most dangerous line

to believe is “trust me.”

Not because it’s loud,

but because it sounds like what you need.

And that’s how it gets in.

That’s how it begins.

Not through the door,

but under the skin.
