You asked for lovin’
and they gave you lines.
You hungered for some truth,
but they fed you lies.
You asked for shelter,
and they kept you trapped.
You beg them to hold you,
but they just hold you back.
Darlin you know, it don’t mean anything
If you let his words be mistaken for proof.
I hope he protects you and makes you his everything.
When he tells you he loves you,
just make sure he’s telling the truth
Your daddy left mama,
when you were just five,
so when he says forever,
you just want to hide.
Words don’t mean nothing
to a heart that's been bruised.
He don’t need to promise.
He just needs to prove.
So when he holds you,
and he tells you he loves you
Tell him that’s something that he’ll have to prove.
