[Verse 1]
I gave you pieces I never gave anyone
Told you stories I don’t even tell myself
You said forever like it was nothin’
But forever came and left with someone else

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I flinch at the sound of a promise
Even silence feels dishonest
I still want to believe
But it’s getting so hard to even breathe

[Chorus]
TRUST IS HARD
When it’s been broken
When the truth feels like a token
Thrown in just to keep the game alive
TRUST IS HARD
When love gets stolen
When the words are sweet but hollow
And the eyes won’t ever really lie
Yeah... TRUST IS HARD

[Verse 2]
I don’t hate you, but I can't forget
Not ready to forgive not just yet
Every word now spoken feels like its fired from a gun
And every bullet hits my heart and I'm undone

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear “I love you” like an echo
From a place I just don’t wanna go
Still want something real
But forgot how it feels

[Chorus]
TRUST IS HARD
When it’s been shattered
When your soul don't feel like it matters
And you’re building walls just to survive
TRUST IS HARD
When you're still bleeding
From the truth you weren’t needing
Now you smile just to say you’re fine
Yeah… TRUST IS HARD

[Bridge]
But maybe one day, someone’ll stay
Not just for the light, but through the grey
Maybe there’s a hand that won’t let go
Even when you’re chosen to be moving so slow

[Rap]
Yeah, I been burned, learned not to lean too far
Keep my circle tight, and my heart in a jar
People play sweet till they taste your scars
Then they ghost like shadows under neon bars
Now I scroll through my trust like a playlist
Skip the liars, the players, the fakeness
Still I hope there’s a love that’s shameless
Where the truth don’t come with a disclaimer

[Chorus]
TRUST IS HARD
But I’m still tryin’
Though my hope keeps slowly dying
I ain’t ready to say love’s a lie
TRUST IS HARD
But I’m still searching
Even if I keep on hurting
One day, maybe I’ll see the other side
'Cause… TRUST IS HARD

[Outro]
Yeah… it’s hard
But not impossible
Not if it’s real
Not if it’s honest
Someday… maybe
You’ll prove me wrong

TRUST IS HARD

O say, can you see... the truth behind the anthem?

This powerful remix of the U.S. national anthem exposes the current state of justice, freedom, and racial inequality in America. From MAGA-era politics and scandal denial to racial discrimination and illegal detentions — this modern protest anthem asks the question: Does that star-spangled banner still wave for us all?
