for the lovely lenina and my sweet water. mi casa su casa sweethearts, anytime.
trouble
trouble me, disturb me
with all your cares and your worries
trouble me
on the days when you feel spent
why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden when
my back is sturdy and strong
trouble me
speak to me
don’t mislead me
the calm I feel
means a storm is swelling
speak to me
there’s no telling
where it starts
or how it ends
speak to me
why are you building
this thick thick wall
to defend me
speak to me
when your silence is my
greatest fear
why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden when
my back is sturdy and strong
speak to me
let me
have a look inside these eyes
that I’m learning
let me
please don’t hide them
just because of tears
let me
send you off to sleep
when the bad bad nights
start you turning and tossing
let me
let me know where the hurt is
and how to heal
spare
spare me
don’t spare me anything
trouble me
trouble me, disturb me
with all your cares
and your worries
speak to me
and et our words
build a shelter
from the storm
let me
and lastly let me know
what I can mend
there’s more honestly
and my sweet friend
you can see
trust is what
I’m offering
if you trouble me I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter. |
