[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Lost in a dream, nothing's what it seems
Searching my head for the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes as we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays of you walking away

[Chorus]
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

[Verse 2]
Time and again she repeats "Let's be friends."
I smile and say "Yes"
Another truth bends, I must confess
I try to let go, but I know we'll never end 'til we're dust
We lied to each other again (I wish I could trust)
But I wish I could trust

[Chorus]
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
God, help me please, on my knees (on my knees)
Betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust

[Spoken]
"How could this be happening to me?"
"I'm lying when I say 'Trust me'."
"I can't believe this is true..."
"Trust hurts."
"Why does trust equal suffering?"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
God, help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust

[Outro]
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much (we lied to each other so much)
That there's nothing we trust
God, help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust (lust)
We lied to each other so much
Absolutely nothing we trust

Megadeth

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
