Lyrics

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 brick 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 while I'm learning
(Let me)
Please don't hide them just because of tears
(Let me) Send you off to sleep
With a "There, there, now stop your turning and tossing"
(Let me)
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal
Spare, spare me
Don't spare me anything troubling
(Trouble me)
Disturb me with all your cares and your worries
(Speak to me)
And let our words build a shelter from the storm
(Let me)
And lastly, let me know what I can mend
There's more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see
Trust is what I'm offering if you trouble me
