Trouble Me

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

Dear, there, now stop your turning and tossing

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

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
