Trust

The trust I placed, upon the promises you made
Was not some simple debt that had to be repaid
The faith I found, to life the stones that dragged you down
Is not a strenght that I can summon up today

Well there's no consolation
In saving you will when I know you don't mean it
See the depth of your misfortune
Is measured in secrets that you'll never share
And you play with my emotions
Like there is some deitic right you've been given
So I ask myself the question
Do you really want this? Do you really need this?
Do you really care?

From the phantoms that you feared
You shed imaginary tears
Within imaginary tales of where you'd been
And the conscience that you light
Inside your neon backlit nights
Is not benevolent and won't forget your lies

And I feel my heart is breaking
Whenever you speak 'cos I know you don't mean it
Then you play with my emotions
Like they are some demon that you need to kill
And it seems I hardly know you
I know that my patience is fast disappearing
Well I feel no obligation
To pick up the pieces and show you what's real

And there's no consolation
When you find yourself alone
When your life's so complicated
That you've got no place to go
Now ask yourself the question
Can you really bear the cost?
Will you see the consequences
Become the person I can trust
