(Verse 1) Yeah, trust issues run deep, ain't no escaping this, Friends turn to snakes, that's the painful twist. Used to trust 'em all, now I'm moving cautious, Eyes wide open, 'cause betrayal's been nauseous. (Pre-Chorus) They said they had my back, but that was just a lie, Smiles on their faces, but deception in their eyes. Learned the hard way, now I keep my circle tight, Trust issues cut deep, like a knife in the night. (Chorus) Trust issues, yeah, they haunt my mind, Can't let 'em go, they're like shadows behind. Once bitten, twice shy, that's my battle cry, Gotta guard my heart, keep my feelings on standby. (Verse 2) Thought I found my ride-or-die, but they proved me wrong, Whispered secrets turned to rumors before long. Now I'm standing strong, built up walls of defense, Can't afford another wound, can't afford the expense. (Pre-Chorus) They played the game well, got me fooled again, But this time around, I'll be smarter in the end. No more blind faith, no more giving in, Trust issues taught me the value of my own skin. (Chorus) Trust issues, they're the scars I wear, Lessons learned painfully, too heavy to bear. But I won't let 'em break me, won't let 'em win, I'll rise above the doubt, let the healing begin. (Bridge) Gonna find my way through this maze of doubt, Gonna learn to trust again, no room for drought. Gotta mend what's broken, gotta find my peace, Trust issues won't define me, gonna find release. (Chorus) Trust issues won't control my fate, I'll rebuild my faith, it's never too late. Step by step, I'll reclaim my stride, Trust issues won't keep me down, I'll rise high.
