Don't Ask Me to Trust

Verse 1

You knock on my door, darlin', late at night (late at night)

Swearing that you missed me under the porch light

But I keep the chain locked, I keep the bolt turned tight

'Cause the last time I let love in, it didn't treat me right

Pre-Chorus

Your lips are moving, but I hear a different song

(Oh, a different song)

I've been down this dirt road, baby, and it’s much too long

Chorus

So don't ask me to trust you, don't ask me to try

I'm all out of pennies for another pretty lie

My heart is under lock, my keys are in the sea

(Deep in the sea)

No, nobody’s gonna get close enough to hurt me

(Nobody, no)

Verse 2

The folks in this town, they say "give it one more chance"

They want me back out on that floor to join the dance

But a smile is just a curtain that you draw across the room

And your promise is a flower that dies before the bloom

Pre-Chorus

Your lips are moving, but I hear a different song

(Hear it loud and clear)

I've been down this dirt road, baby, and it’s much too long

Chorus

So don't ask me to trust you, don't ask me to try

I'm all out of pennies for another pretty lie

My heart is under lock, my keys are in the sea

(Deep in the sea)

No, nobody’s gonna get close enough to hurt me

Bridge

Lord, my mama told me watch the wolves in the field

(Watch 'em close)

She said a gold ring doesn't make a sweet love real

I used to be a fool, I used to let 'em through

But the one who believed you is gone from this room

(Long gone, yeah)

Chorus

So don't ask me to trust you, don't ask me to try

I'm all out of pennies for another pretty lie

My heart is under lock, my keys are in the sea

(Deep in the sea)

No, nobody’s gonna get close enough to hurt me

Outro

Nobody's gonna get close (no, sir)

Keep your sweet talk to yourself

I'm putting my love high up on the shelf

Lock the door (lock it tight)

Turn off the light

No more trusting nobody

(Mm-mm, no more)

Yeah...

(No more)
