FALSE TRUST

 You never want to trust somebody
 Just because they give you their word
 They could be lying, just to set you up
 It happens a lot, don’t think it’s absurd
  
 You get called on the phone; offered a deal
 Just provide some upfront money
 Never hear from them again
 Don’t you think that’s funny?
  
 They drive their truck over your lawn
 And ruin one of your displays
 Promise to come back and fi it
 You’ll have nothing to pay
  
 Of course they never come
 Just having some fun
 At your expense and time
 You thought it would be fine
  
 You buy an original
 But it has a flaw
 Concealed pretty well
 Doesn’t faze you at all
  
 Then you try to sell it
 Something hits the fan
 Why do I let them hustle me?
 I guess because they can
  
 Promises made like fools gold
 Don’t really plan to get paid
 You knew the chances weren’t too good
 Forgive, release and don’t be afraid
