Willa James

Lyrics

You came in late with that same old line
“Baby, don’t worry, I just lost track of time”
But your eyes don’t match the words you say
And my gut’s been talkin’ since the other day

I scrolled through your phone, yeah, I crossed that line
Found little half-truths in those midnight replies
My heart still beats but it won’t meet your eyes
’Cause love can hang on while the trust runs dry

When the well runs empty, love can’t survive
Hearts still beatin’ but it’s dead inside
You can say you’re sorry till the day you die
But once the river’s poisoned, it don’t flow right
Yeah, I might still love you, but I can’t deny
It ain’t love no more when trust runs dry


We built this house on a shaky floor
Painted pretty pictures over crooked doors
You swore your secrets were the last you’d keep
But lies don’t drown, they just sink down deep

Now every “where you goin’?” turns into a fight
Every late-night buzz feels like a hidden life
I’m tired of guessin’ what’s truth, what’s lie
You can hold my body, but my soul’s gone dry


When the well runs empty, love can’t survive
Hearts still beatin’ but it’s dead inside
You can say you’re sorry till the day you die
But once the river’s poisoned, it don’t flow right
Yeah, I might still love you, but I can’t deny
It ain’t love no more when trust runs dry


Maybe someday we’ll talk without the blame
Right now every word just feeds the flame
I gave you my faith like a tithe, like a prayer
You spent it like money, like it wasn’t even there

So I’m packin’ my hope in this worn-out ride
Leavin’ all the questions on your side
Lovin’ you’s a thirst I can’t satisfy
I can’t keep drinkin’ where the trust runs dry


When the well runs empty, love can’t survive
You can beg me to stay, but my tears ran dry
You can say you’ll change till the day you die
But I won’t come back where the trust runs dry


Trust runs dry… you can’t fill it with lies
Yeah, my heart might ache till the day I die
But I’ll save what’s left where the trust… runs dry
