Who Can I Trust?

🎵 THE FAMILY ALIBI — “WHO CAN I TRUST?”
Intro — soft, emotional
I gave you my heart…
I gave you my trust…
Tell me, was it love…
Or was it all a lie?
Verse 1
I was standing there in white,
Getting ready for my life.
Then a secret found its way to me,
And changed everything overnight.
You smiled and called me your woman,
My friend stood right by my side.
But everybody that I trusted
Had something they chose to hide.
Pre-Chorus — beat begins building
One truth…
Leads to another lie.
One secret…
And another alibi.
Now I'm looking at the people I love,
And asking myself tonight…
CHORUS — strong beat enters
Who can I trust?
Who can I believe?
The ones that I love
Are keeping secrets from me.
Who can I trust?
When everybody lies?
You can hide it for a moment,
But the truth will come to light.
Post-Chorus — catchy African vocal hook
Oh-oh… who can I trust?
Oh-oh… who can I trust?
Everybody's got a secret,
Everybody's got an alibi.
Verse 2
My lover says that he loves me,
My best friend won't meet my eyes.
A family dressed in diamonds
Can still be dressed in lies.
I'm tired of asking questions,
I'm tired of being afraid.
If loving you means losing me,
Then I choose to walk away.
Pre-Chorus
One truth…
Leads to another lie.
One secret…
And another alibi.
You can close every door,
But the truth is still outside.
CHORUS — bigger
Who can I trust?
Who can I believe?
The ones that I love
Are keeping secrets from me.
Who can I trust?
When everybody lies?
You can hide it for a moment,
But the truth will come to light.
Bridge — music drops, very emotional
Maybe you loved me.
Maybe you tried.
But love doesn't need
A thousand little lies.
I gave you my heart.
I gave you my name.
But I won't lose myself
Trying to carry your shame.
FINAL CHORUS — powerful
Who can I trust?
Who can I believe?
Everything I thought was mine
Wasn't what it seemed.
Who can I trust?
No more closing my eyes.
Every secret has a doorway,
And every lie has a price.
Outro — music becomes haunting
Oh-oh… who can I trust?
Oh-oh… who can I trust?
Everybody had a secret…
Everybody had a lie…
Everybody had a reason…
And everybody had
an alibi.
