lyrics

One day I received a brown paper box
It was full of paper clips, foreign coins and some rocks
It was marked "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL THE END OF DAYS"
And had a record of my wrongs, written out with rage and praise
So I went out to the woods with a camera and some film and took photos of the forest so the glory goes to Him
The creator of the birds, all the foliage and the trees
Sent me a small brown package to bring this sinner to his knees

CHORUS 1:
Trust me when I say "I'm not worth trusting"
Stole a letter from your house when I was there dusting
My conscience and I, we don't see eye to eye
So trust me when I say "I'm not worth trusting!"

One day I took a shell from an ear ring in your ear
I was away from fear but I felt him come back oh so near
I reluctantly caved and took the selfish from the saved
And retreated to your bedroom through the window where you waved
I saw your bed was undone, a victory unwon
I took your simple sea shell and put it back where it came from
I'm a scoundrel at his best, empty in the chest
Sneaking pictures from the cupboard in the morning whilst you dress

CHORUS 2:
Trust me when I say that I'm not worth trusting
Took the coins out of your purse when I was done busking
Honest honesty died, and I didn't cry
So trust me when I say that I'm not worth trusting

CHORUS 3:
Trust me when I say that "I'm not worth trusting"
Tin man am I cause I'm getting rusty
Singing in the rain, that old sweet refrain
Trust me when I say that "I'm not worth trusting"
