I keep my cards tucked close
Too many hands got burned
I smile, but I watch the door
I learned what I learned

You say you mean what you say
That’s rare where I come from
I need a steady kind of truth
Not a moment of fun

If I let go, don’t let me fall
If I call out, answer me
I’m tired of the almost-right
Tired of the make-believe

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Stay when it gets rough
Tell me what you want

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Hold it down for us
Don’t let me touch dust

I’ve seen the pretty kind of lies
Wrapped in a velvet tone
Sweet words can leave a bruise
When you’re alone

So prove it in the small things
The keys, the call, the time
Show me you can stand still
When the whole world climbs

If I let go, don’t let me fall
If I call out, answer me
I’m tired of the almost-right
Tired of the make-believe

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Stay when it gets rough
Tell me what you want

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Hold it down for us
Don’t let me touch dust

No grand speech
No shining line
Just show up
On time

Let me see
The real in you
Then I’ll give
Mine too

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Stay when it gets rough
Tell me what you want

Someone I can trust
Someone I can trust
Hold it down for us
I’m not asking much
