Trust My Lonely Lyrics
It's time I let you go
I made the mistake of writing your name on my heart
'Cause your colors showed
But it was too late, you left me stained, called it art
Do you crave control?
I've been your doll that you poke for fun too long
So you should go
Don't look back, I won't come back
Can't do that no more
[Chorus]
Go get your praise from someone else
You did a number on my health
My world is brighter by itself
And I can do better, do better
You and I were swayin' on the ropes
I found my footing on my own
I'm a-okay, I'm good as gold
And I can do better, do better alone
Alone, alone
[Verse 2]
There ain't no love 'round here
I loved you once, but it made me dumb
Now I'm seeing it way too clear
You hurt me numb and for that I've run out of time
To have pain to feel (Pain to feel)
I've been your game
Just taking the blame for too long
Get on out of here
Don't look back, I won't come back
Can't do that no more
Go get your praise from someone else
You did a number on my health
My world is brighter by itself
And I can do better, do better
You and I were swayin' on the ropes
I found my footing on my own
I'm a-okay, I'm good as gold
And I can do better, do better alone
[Bridge]
Don't you know that you're bad for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know that you're bad for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know you're no good for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know you're no good for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
[Chorus]
Go get your praise from someone else
You did a number on my health
My world is brighter by itself
And I can do better, do better
You and I were swayin' on the ropes
I found my footing on my own
I'm a-okay, I'm good as gold
And I can do better, do better alone
Don't you know that you're bad for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know that you're bad for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know you're no good for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
Don't you know you're no good for me?
I gotta trust my lonely
About
“Trust My Lonely” is the second single from Alessia Cara’s sophomore album, The Pains of Growing.
The song was first teased by Alessia on Twitter with a video satirizing the use of the adjective “lonely” instead of the noun “loneliness” – just as in “Scars To Your Beautiful”.
Reflecting on her relationship, Cara realizes she’s being used by her partner and, after all, she’s better off alone.
Alessia Cara left a message for her fans in a tweet promoting the song.
The sentiment of the song is a celebration of life without negativity.
In an interview on The Zach Sang show on Youtube, on 12th October, 2018, Alessia talks about how she depersonalized her negative emotions and wrote a song directed towards that personified image. She thought it would help people relate to the song and expand its context.

In an interview with Billboard Alessia said:
When I initially wrote that song, I wrote it because of my insecurities. I think a lot of people, we become comfortable in our misery or comfortable in a relationship that may be bad for us. This song was just a reminder for me and for everyone to just trust yourself and let go of things don’t serve you in a positive way, especially your heart and your soul.
