A MATTER OF TRUST / BILLY JOEL / NIVEL 3

Some lovers just rely on their hearts

The core 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

I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your

faith in this world
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
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 lovers love is just rely on their minds
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…

(INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE)

I'm sure you're aware love,
We've both had our share of believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong

Some lovers love is just rely on their souls
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 lovers just rely on their hearts
The core 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
It's always been a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust…
