[Verse 1: Male]
You check the lock, then check my face
Like every promise has an expiry date
I came back soaked from the last train home
Still you ask if I was there alone
[Verse 2: Female]
I learned to listen for the missing part
The little pause before you start
You say my name like that should be enough
But trust is built when the days get rough
[Pre-Chorus: Male and Female]
Say what you need, don’t make me guess
We’re standing here with nothing left to dress
[Chorus: Male and Female]
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—will you?
If you don’t trust me by now
Tell me what else can I prove?
I’m right here, I’m not turning away
But we can’t keep living on trial every day
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—will you?
[Verse 3: Male]
Your coat is folded by the kitchen chair
I know you’re still deciding if you care
I won’t make a vow to win tonight
I’ll tell the truth and let it sit in the light
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Then look at me and don’t turn away
I need the truth, not the words you think I’ll say
[Chorus: Male and Female]
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—will you?
If you don’t trust me by now
Tell me what else can I prove?
I’m right here, I’m not turning away
But we can’t keep living on trial every day
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—will you?
[Bridge: Female]
I don’t want a perfect answer
I want the one that’s true
[Bridge: Male]
I can’t undo the times I hurt you
I can only show up, follow through
[Final Chorus: Male and Female]
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—will you?
If you don’t trust me by now
Say it plain, tell me what we do
I’m right here, I’m not turning away
But love can’t live on a verdict every day
If you don’t trust me by now
You will never ever—WILL YOU?
[Outro: Male and Female]
By now…
Will you?
