7. I DON’T TRUST EASY

+ Show full styles

[Intro] Yeah… I ain’t cold. I just learned. [Verse 1] I don’t trust easy, I done seen too much People swear they got you, then they switch up I can feel a different energy before you say a word Smile in my face, whole time hoping that I hurt So I keep my circle small, keep my business to myself I don’t need a lot of people, I just need a little help And I don’t question every move, I just watch and observe ’Cause actions tell the truth that a mouth never serves I been called distant, maybe that’s fair But I learned love ain’t love when it disappears When things get complicated, when the money get low When the shine disappear and there’s nowhere to go That’s when you find out who was really in your corner Who loved the man and who loved the persona So if I take my time, don’t take it personal I’m protecting something that took years to make whole. [Hook] I don’t trust easy, no, I don’t I can love deeply, but I won’t Give my heart away just because you say you care I’ve been down that road, ain’t going back there I don’t trust easy, but I’m trying Underneath this armor, I’m still fighting If I let you close, know that means something to me ‘Cause I don’t trust easy… But I still believe. [Verse 2] I don’t need perfection, I need consistency Don’t tell me what you feel, show me what you mean Don’t promise me forever if tomorrow ain’t secure I’d rather hear the ugly truth than a beautiful lure I can handle honesty, I can handle the pain What I can’t handle is manipulation dressed up as change If you say you’re gonna stay, don’t disappear when it’s hard If you say you got my back, don’t stab me in the dark And I know I’m complicated, I ain’t claiming I’m not Sometimes I build a wall before you even get close I might pull away when I actually wanna stay ‘Cause trusting somebody means they could take it all away But I’m learning that a fortress ain’t a home And protecting your heart can leave you lonely alone So maybe I’ll take a chance, maybe I’ll let you see There’s a softer side of Rob that I don’t show easily. [Bridge] I ain’t asking you to save me I ain’t asking you to prove the world Just give me something real And I’ll give you everything I can No games… No pretending… Just consistency. [Hook] I don’t trust easy, no, I don’t I can love deeply, but I won’t Give my heart away just because you say you care I’ve been down that road, ain’t going back there I don’t trust easy, but I’m trying Underneath this armor, I’m still fighting If I let you close, know that means something to me ‘Cause I don’t trust easy… But I still believe. [Outro] Maybe trust ain’t something you give. Maybe it’s something somebody earns. Slowly. Day by day. A Million Made.
