[Verse 1 – Young Age] I was a kid with a wide-open sky Thought every word in your mouth couldn’t lie Pinky promises, blood on the thumb You said, “I got you,” and I thought that was enough Shared all my monsters that lived in the dark You drew a sword on the side of my heart Told me, “You’re safe, I will never let go,” Funny how people say things they don’t know [Pre-Chorus] You taught me to lean, so I leaned too far Built my whole world on somebody’s arms Didn’t see the cracks ’til it all turned to dust That’s the night I learned the price of trust [Chorus] Trust grows slow like a seed in the cold One warm hand and it starts to unfold Then one lie hits, and it all falls apart Like glass raining down in the dark of your heart You hold me up, then you let me drop I fall through the floor, and it doesn’t stop In the silence, when the noise is crushed I hear one voice: “Only me I trust.” [Verse 2 – Adult Age] Clock in, tie tight, learn to play the game Smile at the faces, forget all the names Handshakes heavy with hidden knives Every favor comes with a price Signed on the line, said we’re in this as one Funny how fast every back starts to run Blame on my shoulders, weight on my chest Everyone loyal ’til loyalty’s a test [Pre-Chorus 2] You said, “We’re a team,” then you turned away Left me alone with the mess we made Another scar where the praise once was Another lesson in the shape of distrust [Chorus] Trust grows slow like a seed in the cold One warm hand and it starts to unfold Then one lie hits, and it all falls apart Like glass raining down in the dark of your heart You hold me up, then you let me drop I fall through the floor, and it doesn’t stop In the silence, when the noise is crushed I hear one voice: “Only me I trust.” [Verse 3 – Love] You came in soft like a late-night song Said all the things I’d been needing for so long Breath on my neck, “You can lean on me,” I gave you keys to the parts no one sees We built a home out of bodies and beds Shared all the ghosts that were stuck in our heads You said, “I’d never do what they did to you,” Funny how pain learns to copy the truth [Pre-Chorus 3] I saw the messages, lights in the phone Heard every promise collapsing in tones In that moment when the floor turned to dust All that remained was: “Only me I trust.” [Bridge] I’m not cold, I’m just done being blind I keep my borders stitched tight to my spine I’ll let you in, but I’m guarding the gate Love if you want, but don’t touch my fate ’Cause people change like the tide in the night One minute shelter, next minute knife I’ll take your hand but I won’t lose myself I learned to keep my heart on its own shelf [Final Chorus – Broken / Rebuild] Trust grows slow in the cracks of the hurt Through all the ashes and under the dirt Maybe one day I will share it again But not like before, not the same way, no then ’Cause you held me up just to let me drop I fell through the floor, but now I stop In the silence, when the echo’s crushed I hear one truth: “Only me I trust.” Trust grows, trust breaks, falls back to dust The only constant is: “Only me I trust.” [Outro – Spoken / Whisper] You can stay, you can leave, you can fade if you must I walk alone now… only me I trust.
