Trust Lyrics – Zach Campbell

Trust Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer is expressing deep frustration and hurt from being betrayed by someone they once cared about. Every time they tried to trust this person, it only led to confusion and emotional pain. Over time, they realize that trust was impossible, not only because the other person kept breaking it, but also because they themselves weren’t in a place to trust anyone. It’s a mix of anger, regret, and self-awareness.

[Verse 1]
Here, the singer looks back and admits that maybe they share some blame for what happened. They realize they were attached to the pain and confusion of the relationship. Even though it was unhealthy, they couldn’t help but fall for the version of the person they were shown, not who that person truly was.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer hoped their partner would give them the kind of love they couldn’t give themselves. They were rooting for the relationship to fill their emotional emptiness. But in the end, both took shortcuts instead of facing their issues, which caused everything to fall apart. Now, there’s nothing left but the truth that it didn’t work.

[Chorus]
The emotions come back stronger here. The singer repeats that they could never fully trust this person because every attempt to do so only led to more manipulation and pain. They also realize that part of the problem came from within—they didn’t know how to trust themselves, so trusting someone else was impossible. The chorus captures anger, heartbreak, and the painful realization of being fooled.

[Verse 2]
The singer feels stuck in old memories of love that no longer mean anything. They’re trapped in the past, holding onto the hope that things could’ve been different, but those dreams now feel empty. Finally, they begin to wake up emotionally and see things as they really are.

[Chorus]
Once again, the singer returns to the same emotional point, repeating the struggle between wanting to trust and constantly being hurt. It shows how deeply that betrayal has affected them. They understand now that the pain runs deeper than just the other person’s actions—it’s also about their own inability to trust themselves and their choices. The repetition shows how the pain keeps cycling in their mind.

[Bridge]
This part reflects back on the emotional mistake of expecting someone else to fix inner emptiness. The singer realizes they relied too much on the relationship to bring happiness. They both avoided dealing with their deeper problems, taking the easy way out, which only left them with the sad truth that the relationship was doomed.

[Chorus]
Here, the feelings hit their most powerful point. The singer repeats the same lines to show how much this pain still lingers. They remember how every time they tried to open up, their trust was twisted and broken. It’s not just about being angry at the other person but also about being disappointed in themselves for allowing it to happen. They realize they were chasing love without trusting their own heart first. The repeated “I could never trust you” becomes almost like a confession and a lesson—an acceptance that trust can’t exist without self-understanding.

[Outro]
The singer ends with regret and frustration, admitting they gave everything to someone who didn’t deserve it. Looking back, they wish they hadn’t trusted that person so easily. There’s sarcasm in the repeated “you can trust,” showing that they no longer believe in the other person’s words. It’s like they’re mocking the broken promises while also acknowledging their own role in getting hurt. The ending feels like closure mixed with bitterness—accepting the loss but still feeling the sting of betrayal.
