[English]

I watch you moving across the room

Whatcha doing, who you talking to?

You're second guessing my every word

Believe me less the more that I assure

Cause I've been waiting up at night

And you've been keeping me inside

Carefully, we test the truth, woah

Acting like we're enemies

Is it so hard to believe

Just put your faith in me

And I will put my faith in you

No one's asking for their freedom

We just need a little trust

Yeah it starts with good intentions

But the words are dangerous

I get crazy, you get jealous

But you know it's only us

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just need a little trust

Need a little trust

Need a little trust

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just

A simple gesture becomes a crime

I sleep with one eye open all the time

We made a peace but it's a cold, cold war

It's hard to love with one foot out the door

Cause I've been waiting up at night

And you've been keeping me inside

I thought you said let's be naive woah

I'm tired of tryna catch my lines

So baby look into my eyes

I'll put my faith in you

If you can put your faith in me

No one's asking for their freedom

We just need a little trust

Yeah it starts with good intentions

But the words are dangerous

I get crazy, you get jealous

But you know it's only us

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just need a little trust

Need a little trust

Need a little trust

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just

Oooh

Yeah de de de

Tru-u-u-ust

Tru-u-u-ust

No one's asking for their freedom

We just need a little trust

Yeah it starts with good intentions

But the words are dangerous

I get crazy, you get jealous

But you know it's only us

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just need a little trust

Need a little trust

Need a little trust

No one's asking for their freedom

We just, we just need a little trust
