Trust Me
Michelle Willis Lyrics

It broke into me
Something (an emotion, an event, etc.) penetrated deeply into my being and affected me deeply.

It became ok
Over time, I learned to accept and come to terms with what had happened.

One time then the next
It happened more than once, and each time had a profound impact on me.

Turned it my way
I was able to take control of the situation and make it work in my favor.

To make my own perfect paradigm
I wanted to create my own ideal world, with my own set of rules and beliefs.

Mine all mine
This world that I created was entirely mine, and I was proud of it.

Fear it hovered round every time
Despite my confidence, I still felt fear and uncertainty at times.

Oh yet you trust me
Despite my flaws and insecurities, you still have faith in me and trust me completely.

I spoke I speak
I have said things and continue to say things.

And twist it round
I sometimes manipulate or distort the truth to make it fit my own narrative or agenda.

You look me in
Even when confronted with my dishonesty, you still have the courage to face me head-on.

And 'neath the muck you found me
Despite my flaws and mistakes, you were able to see the good in me and help me bring it to the surface.

Still you fight for me
You continue to support and defend me, even when I'm not at my best.

You pull me out each time you fight for me
Whenever I'm struggling or in a difficult situation, you're always there to help me find a way out.

Still it comes round me, round yet you
Even when I feel overwhelmed and surrounded by negativity, you are always a source of positivity and strength.

This dark old place
I was in a dark and difficult situation.

Fills me with no grace
It made me feel hopeless and powerless.

I needed truth
What I needed most was honesty and clarity.

And in its place came
Instead of truth, I was presented with something else.

Rusty old bones
This new thing was old and worn-out, with no real value or worth.

With a hovering disease
It was infected with negativity and toxicity, which made it even more harmful.

Fear it come and break my knees but I'm standing
Despite the challenges and obstacles I faced, I was able to overcome them and remain strong.

Oh what a fight
It was a difficult and grueling battle.

Is my minds might
It was a challenge that tested my mental strength and resilience.

The strength of men
Even the strongest and toughest men would struggle with what I faced.

Pales in this light
Compared to my own struggles, theirs would seem insignificant or trivial.

Oh what pain
I experienced intense emotional pain and suffering.

Oh what sorrow
I felt deep sorrow and grief for what I had lost.

Comes to the man
These feelings and emotions are part of the human experience.

Breaks a trust that's borrowed
When someone betrays your trust, it causes a deep sense of loss and disappointment.

You trust me
Despite everything, you still believe in me and have faith that I will overcome any obstacle.
