(t. bryn) 



girls lie to boys and boys lie to girls 

he says, "i've been at the office, papers up to here" 

but he smells like beer 

she says, "its okay" 

he thinks she doesn't know - women always know 



chorus 



but i'm gonna be the one to break all those rules 

i think those people are fools 

scandal's nothing new 

what good is the truth if we never use it? 



you've just got to trust me sometimes 

"trust me" he says in the dark 

she's saved it all this time 

but to him it's worth a dime 

she found out the hard way you get the kisses then 

the tears 

to think she'd saved is all these years 

you've just got to trust me sometime 



repeat chorus 



i may leave you but i will never lie 

she said, "i will love you forever, baby, you are my home" 

but five years later he's alone 

with some kids and a car - his only warmth from the 

heater 

he wondered how he believed her 



repeat chorus 



fade out: 



i didn't tell you because i didn't want to hurt you
