Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Broken trust makes a jealous heart Injured love slowly falls apart Say goodbye 'cause love can't rise Above the lies of a broken trust Young love is such a special thing It spoils the heart for less But sure as time, all things must change Not always for the best With wicked ease, temptation breeds A strong and binding spell But the honeymoon is over when You're out with someone else 'Cause a broken trust makes a jealous heart Injured love slowly falls apart Say goodbye 'cause love can't rise Above the lies of a broken trust This world is full of hungry eyes But they can't turn your head If you place the one you cherish Far above the rest For wild desires of careless fires Where everyone gets burned Just look at me and you will see A lesson too late learned Broken trust makes a jealous heart Injured love slowly falls apart Say goodbye 'cause love can't rise Above the lies of a broken trust Above the lies of a broken trust
