The rain has come to you like clock work
The bitter cold has always been inevitable
The cruel pain of being left for another
      had become an expectation

How deeply your heart has been broken

It is no wonder you cannot trust me
It is no wonder you expect the end to begin
It is no wonder you won't start your heart
It is no wonder you cannot love me

I know me well
I know you have nothing to worry about
But that is yours to discover
      on your own time...

So, please, distrust me
Don't let me inside
Hold onto your heart
Don't look into my confident eyes
      and believe me when I say I love you

Relish your distrust

For trust can only be won
And I have patience
We have all the time in the world
Don't be hasty

Rebuild your trust in me
With grains of sand
