How Can I Be Sure

Ernest Tubb


You only want to break my heart once more with promises that you'll keep every vow
You told me that you loved me so so many times before
So how can I be sure you love me now
Sometimes I dream I'm in your arms embrace
And though how happy you once made me there
But everytime I trust in you another takes my place
So how can I be sure you really care
[ steel ]
You count me in then count me out again you play with me just like a toy and yet
You make my heart believe in you then leave that same old pain
So how can I be sure you won't forget
I'm only sure I'll never love anew your memory is in my heart to stay
And foolish me I'll still be here with open arms for you
For how can I be sure you'll stay away
