[Verse 1] I learned to read the room before I read the words I check the cracks in every promise I’ve heard You say you won’t, but I watch what you do ’Cause every “trust me” sounds like something I’ve been through I don’t know when the truth became a loaded gun Or why every good thing feels like it’s already done You hold me close, I’m waiting on the catch Trying to love without looking for the knife in my back [Chorus] Who do I believe when everybody lies? When “I got you” turns to “I don’t know” overnight? How do I let somebody in When letting people in is how I learned to hurt again? I can’t tell the difference anymore Between a red flag and a shadow on the floor I want somebody I can trust But I don’t know what that looks like [Verse 2] You could tell me forever, I’d still count the days Waiting on the moment you start pulling away I read too much into every pause you make Turn quiet moments into reasons to escape maybe I’m afraid But I’ve been wrong enough to know I can’t know So I keep one foot out the door wherever I go [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want to doubt you I just don’t know how not to [Chorus] Who do I believe when everybody lies? When “I got you” turns to “I don’t know” overnight? How do I let somebody in When letting people in is how I learned to hurt again? I can’t tell the difference anymore Between a red flag and a shadow on the floor I want somebody I can trust But I don’t know what that looks like [Bridge] Maybe when you’ve been betrayed enough You start expecting to get used So if I push you away Don’t think I don’t care I’m just trying to figure out If you’re gonna stay here And if you tell me you won’t leave Part of me will want to run ’Cause the safest place I’ve ever been Was never needing anyone [Final Chorus] Who do I believe when everybody lies? When the truth has a thousand different alibis? How do I give somebody trust When every time I did, they turned it into dust? I want somebody I can trust [Outro] But I can’t name the feeling Or trust it yet I keep my hand on the latch And my foot on the step Still, I’m here at the door Not gone, not gone Just learning the shape Of letting someone in
