A Matter Of Trust Lyrics By Billy Joel

    one two
    one two three four

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    i’m sure you’re aware love
    we’ve both had our share of
    believing too long
    when the whole situation was wrong

    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

    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

    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
