I know you don't trust a thing
That I say, that's okay
You see things build and watch them end
All I want is to be your friendLife is too short to play games
Make false claims, live under chance so
Build new things with our plans
Slowly now give me your handFirst I take a little then I give a lot to you
And it breaks my heart to see you smile
Every time I tell the truthYeah, it's alright
If you would only take the time
To get to know me betterNow you trust what I say
Knew the day'd come soon enough
So when you ask then you'll receive
But you smile like you don't really believeFirst I take a little then I give a lot to you
And it breaks my heart to see you smile
Every time I tell the truth, oh yeahFirst I take a little then I give a lot to you
And it breaks my heart to see you smile
Every time I tell the truthYeah, it's alright
If you would only take the time
Would only take the time
To get to know me
Time, to get to know me betterGet to know me
Get to know me
Get to know me
Get to know me
