For Taking the Trouble

歌詞

For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin' Now you've been working through the rubble of a shattered mind Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye Tears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief? You thought that you were home free, thought you had her well in hand But there were things about her you didn't understand Yeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now? To live your life without regret and make it work with what you get You didn't then, but now you know When she began to lie-you really should have let her go You're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bend It's like you're learning how to walk all over again Yeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to? That girl who catches every eye Or the one you can set your compass by You set it by her soulful smile The fire in her eye And the way she goes that extra mile The love you wanted this to be Is somewhere down the line You'll find her eventually Your grandma and her grandma Sittin' 'round heaven discussin' the law Lovin' that girl was not your crime, Livin' without her gonna take some time Lovin' that girl next thing you knew, You'd turned away from the thing you do Lovin' that girl, you couldn't see Living without her gonna make you free
