And I trusted you (Trust in you)
But I blew it (I blew it)

The lyrics reveal that in the past, the singer made mistakes and proved this person wrong. This suggests that their actions or words caused harm or disappointment in the relationship. Despite this, they acknowledge that there was trust between them and that they both trusted each other. However, the singer admits to "blowing it," implying that they made a significant error that changed their relationship and caused things to never be the same again.
