[Verse 1]
Thinking back, you had it all
I could trust you, and we were one
But you ruined it
With your broken promises
Had the final kiss
Now I'm through with this
Uh-uh
[Chorus]
I don't trust people who tell me how to live
I don't trust people who don't know how to give
I don't trust nobody, I don't trust nobody
I don't trust, I don't trust, I don't trust nobody (But me)
I don't trust people who tell me how to live
I don't trust people who don't know how to give
I don't trust nobody, I don't trust nobody
I don't trust, I don't trust, I don't trust nobody (Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust)
[Post-Chorus]
Sparks in the air tonight
Burns red like dynamite
Secrets fall from the sky
Sets fire to all of your lies
Knew I could break from the chains
Wash them away in the rain
You thought I could be tamed
All it takеs is a flame
[Verse 2]
Thinking back, you weren't around
Now thеre's oil on the ground
And I got a match
In my hand
Fire in the sand
This is what I am
Maybe you forgot
But I can't
[Chorus]
I don't trust people who tell me how to live
I don't trust people who don't know how to give
I don't trust nobody, I don't trust nobody
I don't trust, I don't trust, I don't trust nobody (But me)
I don't trust people who tell me how to live
I don't trust people who don't know how to give
I don't trust nobody, I don't trust nobody
I don't trust, I don't trust, I don't trust nobody
(Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust)
[Post-Chorus]
Sparks in the air tonight
Burns red like dynamite
Secrets fall from the sky
Sets fire to all of your lies
Knew I could break from the chains
Wash them away in the rain
You thought I could be tamed
All that it takes is a flame
