Some people tell you what you want to hear Some people tell you what you need to hear Dragging round that ball and chain pretending it ain't weighing you down Only someone carrying it would take the time to help you get unbound Some people tell you what you want to know Some people tell you what you need to know Going fast the foolish way acting like you've been down here before Only someone by your side would intervene before you hit the shore Oh trial of love Some people take you where you want to go Some people take you where you need to go Surrounded by acquaintances hoping they won't leave you there alone Only someone holding you would have the love to carry you home Oh the trial of love
