Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smiling faces, hidden agendas
Everybody's loyal till the pressure hits the center
I remember when I used to trust the room
Now I count the exits when I walk in, read the room
Dark melody, darker truth
The ones who hugged the tightest left the deepest bruise
Paranoid? Nah, I'm educated
Been betrayed enough to know when love is fabricated

[Chorus]
Trust issues, trust issues
Got me reading every smile like it's a riddle
Trust issues, trust issues
I don't hate you, I just know you're not that simple

[Verse 2]
Used to give the benefit of doubt like it was free
Now the benefit is mine, I keep the doubt for company
Every text I screenshot, every promise I timestamp
Not because I'm petty but because I've been the scam
They say trust is earned but nobody mentioned
How expensive it gets when it's broken
So I keep the circle small and the walls up
Not cold, just careful

[Bridge]
I want to let people in
I just don't want to bleed again
So I stand at the door
And I ask myself... who's this really for?

[Outro]
Trust issues... I'm working on it
But tonight ain't the night
