A Matter of Trust Songtext
von Billy Joel

One, two, a-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
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust

Now I know you′re an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
Well, 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 a way 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

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
'Cause it′s always been a matter of trust

It′s a matter of trust

Oh, it's been a matter of trust
It′s a matter of trust
'Cause it′s always been a matter of trust
