Lyrics

Trust

Mix the chemicals right dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah the margin of error is slight
Mix the chemicals right dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know that you could
Save my life

(There is a risk, there's a risk when your dealing with love)
You could snap my neck
(Any speed you drive can be dangerous)

Mix the chemicals right dear
Mix the chemicals right
Yeah you know there's a fine line between
Mix the chemicals right dear
Mix the chemicals right
'Cause I know what betrayal can mean

When this frame fails me
Will I trust you to carry me through?
I know there's no such thing as safety
But I know what a promise can do
Will I trust you, will I trust you to carry me through?
I will trust you, 'cause I know what a promise can do
