Trust Issues

(album: In Between - 2023)

When I was young my mama told me, "Loving can be lonely
Not everyone's like you, ain't got the heart that you do"
But I had to learn the hard way, lessons can be costly
And I spent more that I had, all of that didn't last

I'm sorry if you think I'm being selfish
I swear it's not true
I'm guarded and I know it
Oh, darling, don't mean to be cruel

I've got trust issues and I know we all do
But I think I'm too wounded, darling, and that ain't fair to you
Tired of being used and maybe that ain't you
But I can't take a chance when I'm damaged

It's true, I've got trust issues
Oh, yeah
Mmm

See, I've been trying to understand it, seems I got a habit
Of pushing others away, thinking no one would stay
So I gotta leave today, I don't wanna make the same mistakes
Not with you, no, not with you

I'm sorry if you think I'm being selfish
Can't help it, I'm done
Fighting, feeling helpless
Oh, darling, I knew this would come

I've got trust issues and I know we all do
But I think I'm too wounded, darling, and that ain't fair to you
I'm tired of being used and maybe that ain't you
But I can't take the chance when I'm damaged

It's true, I've got trust issues
Oh yeah

Tell me you're mine and I try to believe you
Tell you I'm fine, but I know that you see through
All of these walls I put up, I fucked this up
Yeah, you should just leave before I do
