A Matter of Trust (Live at Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY - June 1990) Lyrics by Billy Joel

Live at Yankee Stadium

2022

[Intro]
A-one, a-two
A-one, two, three, four, yeah
[Verse 1]
Some love is just a lie of the hearts
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will, it's just a question of when
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
That won't happen to us
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
[Verse 2]
I know you're an emotional girl
Took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth
It's hard when you'rе always afraid
You just recover when anothеr belief is betrayed
Break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust
[Bridge]
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake, don't shut me out
[Verse 3]
This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust
[Bridge]
I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong
[Verse 4]
Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
That won't happen to us
'Cause it's always been a matter of trust
[Outro]
It's a matter of trust
Oh, woah-oh
It's a matter of trust
Oh, woah-oh
Well, it's always been a matter of trust
