why couldn't you trust me...

really they don't understand
really never could understand me
or was it my fault
or was it i who was wrong
to think that all it needs
is truth and trust

when i said truth
they always had doubt on this
then where's the difference
when i say a word from my heart
and a liar just moves his tongue
are we both just same

i accepted when i got drunk
i promised i wont repeat
was that all in vain
don't they know what a promise is
or do they believe
promises are made to be broken only

scold me when i come late
it's your right i know
but it hurts me a little
when you indirectly ask
where were you, with whom
and what did you drink

you never taught me
that's why you don't understand
the value of truth
not sure from where it came
but you all make me think
if my values really make any sense

who the hell preached me
i can't remember anyone
and nobody praises me when i try
but it's not easy to keep your words
my ethics were called twee emotions
when i needed a pat on my back

no one appreciated when i tried
perhaps because they themselves know
it's not easy to do that
but why couldn't you trust me
i'd got guts and was not so weak
but today i'm not sure about that

friends offered me repeatedly
i was even mocked at
but i didn't let them make me
break the promise i had made
i enjoyed water, when they imbibed beer
all for your love and promise, not your fear

they laughed at me, i smiled at them
wasn't guilty when i came back home
you tell me if i was anywhere wrong
then why did it take you so long
to ask me indirectly
where had i been, and what did i drink
