Trustworthy - Live at House of Butter

about

In these song lyrics, I made a final attempt to fix a problematic relationship. It is now my practice in love to accept and be accepted for what we are without needing anyone to change.

lyrics

Speaking out angry. Goddamnit I lied. Laughing out anger, unsatisfied
You don't know what I don't tell you, but you can't tell what I don't know
No you can't tell what I know, can't tell me what I don't know
Can't fatten me with cruelty. I am not one of your hoes
I am not that woman like the last one you chose
This love was written in my bones, so I demand respect
As you demand to be trusted (repeat)

We made our own bed, we live in it. We've both come so far
So long ago was won. This is what we've earned
Growin' up you learn to keep the promises you make
The promises I can keep, the promises you made to me (repeat)

If we were older I'd take you up my sleeve. If you were me and I was you
Then we would really get to see how much we have in common
What more can we give and take for one another?
Please don't keep me wait- I would wait for you for what feels like forever
(I get high) (repeat)

If we could have another chance I think we'd turn out to be right
If you would just let yourself be Trustworthy
If you can save your love for me and you can learn how to be kind
I will call it gained and I'll prepare myself to be Trustworthy (repeat)

Baby let's try a little bit harder, no let's not let go
I've loved you all this time even when I avoided you
You know that this is love. Please make a sacrifice to show it
Put it on your altar with the things that you most want
Make an offering of peace and put it right beside your father
Tell him I am back to see about the love that I once offered
I could never let it go if you can see me as your equal
Treat me as your friend and you can strengthen your rememberance
Remember me (repeat)

Trustworthy
