Lirieke: Keren Ann. 101. My Name Is Trouble.

My name is trouble
My first name's a mess
No need to greet me
I'm here to confess

But if you let me hold you
I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you
I will love to death

My chase is endless
I tend to obsess
No game lives up to
My need to possess

But if you let me hold you
I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you
I will love to death

I'm petrified of emptiness
And let aside the loneliness
The lovers tend to break me in two
If you were to come back to me
In pieces or in melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble
My first name's a mess
Born to deceive you
Brought up to redress

And if you let me hold you
I won't hold my breath
But if you make me need you
I will need you less

I'm petrified of emptiness
And let aside the loneliness
The lovers tend to break me in two
If you were to come back to me
In pieces or in melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble
My first name's a mess
No need to greet me
I'm here to confess

But if you let me hold you
I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you
I will love to death

If you let me hold you
I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you
I will love you to death
