Trust
Machina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were always there

Darkest clouds could never

Shade the sun

You shine on me
Wish you'd open your

Heart and see...

No matter what they say

I will be your friend

No matter what they pay

I won't sell you out

Plant this seed with me

Trust in love to take us to the bridge

And it's blossoming

We have one more chance

Take it now know there's

No turning back

Let's make it last

Wish you'd open your

Heart and see...

No matter what they say

I will be your friend

No matter what they pay

I won't sell you out

The time has come

For us to decide which way

That we will go...

Please forgive me

I stood by your side

Now you hang me

Leave me out to dry

No matter what they say...

No matter what they say

I will be your friend

No matter what they pay





I won't sell you out
