'The One'S You Trust

I gave my heart to people I thought were real
But love will show you pain that time can't heal
I've seen friends turn to strangers overnight
Smiling to your face, but twisting the knife
It's a hard damn road when your heart's too kind
You give it all away and get left behind

It's crazy how it's the one you trust
That always turns around and stabs you in the back
It's crazy how it's the one you love
That always hurts you the most
Leaves your soul off track
You give your heart thinking they'll hold it safe
But they just throw your love away
Yeah, in this cold, cold world
The warmest hands can still make you bleed

I've been burned by the ones I swore were true
The kind of pain no whiskey can see you through
Every lesson learned's been carved in scars
Every broken dream left a crack in my heart
You start to wonder if love's worth the pain
But a fool like me still tries again

It's crazy how it's the one you trust
That always turns around and stabs you in the back
It's crazy how it's the one you love
That always hurts you the most
Leaves your soul off track
You give your heart thinking they'll hold it safe
But they just throw your love away
Yeah, in this cold, cold world
The warmest hands can still make you bleed

Now I keep my circle small, my whiskey strong
And I sing these blues where my heart belongs
Ain't no shame in learning the hard way
That not every smile means they'll stay

It's crazy how it's the one you trust
That always turns around and stabs you in the back
It's crazy how it's the one you love
That always hurts you the most

That's just the fact so I'll pour one out for the pain I've known
For the hearts I've lost and the love I've blown
Yeah, in this cold cold world trust will break you down
To your knees

People change like the wind in the trees
And I've learned to love carefully
'Cause it's crazy, yeah, it's crazy
How the ones you love can cut so deep
Ooh, ooh, ooh, mm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, mm
