Trust me, the love still remains
Yet for the time being, it's weak at the best
Trust me, it's all still there just boxed up
With some time, I can handle the rest.

Trust me, this road may get uneven at times
We may even encounter a landslide or two along the way
Trust me, I know what it is to stumble
I know how it feels to face dark and stormy days.

Trust me, though it hurts now it will someday end
You'll become numb to the pain you now have inside
Trust me, the echoes from the lies will just suddenly stop
Then from that moment, no more tears shall you cry.

Trust me, time does take care of everything one faces in life
It does eventually get easier, all the things we go through
Trust me, the sun has to return at some point in time
Until that moment, there isn't really much you can do.

Trust me, I've been through it all before
There comes a time that it's all different than it first seems
Trust me, love when given the time that's required
Will eventually silence not only some, but all of your internal screams.

Trust me, when it ends there won't be any surprise at all
Your heart will already be partially healed
Trust me, I know that it will hurt you like hell when it comes
Mainly because you just can't flip the switch on how you feel.

Trust me, said the heart to the little girl bringing chocolates
This will be a good start said the heart to the boy with roses
Trust me, said the heart to the couple pouring out their souls
But the heart lied, it's truth only comes in the smallest doses.
