A song about how hard it is to trust anyone anymore

Lyrics:
I wanna trust you but I can’t 
Wish I could say I’m just a man
But I just can’t do nothing right
So I just say enjoy your life

Wish you could trust me but you can’t
Cuz that’s just not the way it’s planned
How could we just enjoy the night
When all is wrong and nothing’s right?

I found out later that I hurt you
I didn’t know it in the moment
I guess I never did deserve you
I shoulda stuck with being lonely

TRUST

Lyrics:

They got us shopping now
for these designer loves
can what we’re searching for
really be found in stores?
could what we’re seeking out
cost us our weight in gold?
should we be going poor 
off these designer loves?


take a look at myself
take a look on the shelf
packaging is the thing
newest symbol of wealth
put the love in the cart
does it go with my heart?
does it clash with my jeans?
put it all on my card
take every penny I earn
I only have one concern
can I get a receipt?
policy on returns?


I saw commercials for 
all these designer loves
but what I’m searching for
cannot be bought or sold
and now I’m feeling like 
my day will never come
cuz I just can’t afford 
all these designer loves

take a look at myself
take a look on the shelf
packaging is the thing
I do it all for my health
put the love in the cart
does it go with my heart?
does it clash with my jeans?
can I use a coupon
take every penny I earn
I only have one concern

Designer Loves

Lyrics:

Shed the skin that bares the scars
but keep them pocketed in bronze
weave yourself a silken room
retreat to it but don’t forget
to bloom

You have to liquefy
a butterfly
disintegrates and builds itself again
You have to liquefy
to survive
Don't want to break and so you have to bend 

We all have dark chapters 
where it’s hard to turn the page
but realize we must be active 
to bring forth the change

You have to Liquefy
a Butterfly
disintegrates and builds itself again
You have to Liquefy
if you desire
if you’ve fallen, choose now to ascend

We will rise (x4)

You have to liquefy
a butterfly
disintegrates and builds itself again
You have to liquefy
if you decide
you have the chance to author your own end
