(Verse 1) Silver doesn’t matter, jade fades away, What you owe can be counted, but that’s not the weight. You gave your word, thought it was enough, But breaking trust’s the real cost, it’s rough. Coins in your hand, they fall through the cracks, But the trust you’ve lost, you can’t get back. (Chorus) I don’t care for riches, I don’t care for gold, It’s the trust you break that leaves you cold. I’ve seen it fall, I’ve seen it turn to dust, And there’s no higher price than the cost of broken trust. (Verse 2) Promises are fragile, they shatter like glass, You think you’re safe, but nothing lasts. I’ve counted your debts, but that’s not enough, What you owe is buried in broken trust. You paid with words, but they’re lost in the dust, Now you know the price of broken trust. (Chorus) I don’t care for riches, I don’t care for gold, It’s the trust you break that leaves you cold. I’ve seen it fall, I’ve seen it turn to dust, And there’s no higher price than the cost of broken trust. (Bridge) You’ll learn it slow, you’ll feel it deep, The price you pay when promises don’t keep. It’s not the coin, it’s not the trade, It’s the trust that breaks, the bond that fades. (Final Chorus) I don’t care for riches, I don’t care for gold, It’s the trust you break that leaves you cold. I’ve seen it fall, I’ve seen it turn to dust, And there’s no higher price than the cost of broken trust. (Outro) Coins can fall, jade can fade, But nothing’s more fragile than the price you’ve paid.
