Top 10 Billy Joel songs

8. ”A Matter of Trust”

From Joel’s 1986 album The Bridge. On this track, Joel sings about letting the woman he loves trust him although she’s been burned before. Married to model Christie Brinkley at the time, Joel goes on about having faith in the one you love despite love sometimes being an illusion with lines such as, “I've lived long enough to have learned/The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned/But that won't happen to us/Because it's always been a matter of trust/ I know you're an emotional girl/It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world/I can't offer you proof/But you're gonna face a moment of truth/It's hard when you're always afraid/You just recover when another belief is betrayed/So break my heart if you must/It's a matter of trust.” With honesty like this, how can you go wrong?
