Broken Trust

(Verse 1)
When trust is shattered, it's hard to rebuild
Like a house on sand, broken by the wind
You can't see the cracks until it all falls apart
Leaving memories, but also a scar on the heart

I gave you my truth, a piece of my soul
I opened my doors and made you feel whole
But when you crossed the line, the damage was done
The light of our bond started to fade and run

(Pre-Chorus)
It's my safety, my shield, my way to stay free
To grow into the person I'm meant to be
I hold trust like gold, precious and rare
But once it's broken, there's no repair

(Chorus)
If you break it, it may be the end
Of the moments we shared, the laughter as friends
Trust is fragile, but it's all that I give
Without it, it's hard to forgive and live
So respect me, and you'll never lose the place
You hold in my heart, the warmth of my grace
But break it once, and you might lose me forever
No, going back, no matter how clever

(Verse 2)
I've been hurt before, learned lessons too well
Now I guard my heart, in a silent shell
Each word, each action, I measure and weigh
Making sure it's not just another price to pay

I'm stronger today from the pain I've faced
But the cost of trust lost, can't be erased
I'll keep my distance if I have to, it's true
Because I won't be hurt again by someone like you

(Pre-Chorus)
It's my protection, my way to stand tall
To never again watch my spirit fall
I hold a number, right over your head
But as long as you're true, you've nothing to dread

(Chorus)
If you break it, it may be the end
Of the moments we shared, the laughter as friends
Trust is fragile, but it's all that I give
Without it, it's hard to forgive and live
So respect me, and you'll never lose the place
You hold in my heart, the warmth of my grace
But break it once, and you might lose me forever
No, going back, no matter how clever

(Bridge)
It's not a wall I built to keep you away
It's a fortress of peace where I can stay
I'll give you the key if you earn your place
But you've got to remember it's more than a race
It's a journey, a bond, deeper than skin
Where trust is the heart of everything within

(Chorus)
If you break it, it may be the end
Of the moments we shared, the laughter as friends
Trust is fragile, but it's all that I give
Without it, it's hard to forgive and live
So respect me, and you'll never lose the place
You hold in my heart, the warmth of my grace
But break it once, and you might lose me forever
No, going back, no matter how clever

(Outro)
So take my trust and hold it tight
Don't let it slip into the night
For once it's gone, it won't return
A fire extinguisher, never to burn
I'll remember the good, but the damage will stay
In the end, it's trust that shows the way

(Fade out)
Trust is the key... trust is the way
Break it, and you may forever stray
