Trouble
Dedicated to the song “Trouble” by Coldplay
(Verse 1)
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble
Oooh ah oooh
I didn’t mean to act so uncanny
I didn’t mean to act irrational
I get so damn emotional
Sometimes, I get immature and all…
I get so insecure –
My words are oh so impure
Endure,
I must
Letting go
Of lust…
(Refrain)
Hmm Hmm mmm mmm Hmm (x2)
Ooooh…
You’re as bizarre as a genie in a maroon lamp
I’m a happy camper ever since my boots were damp
Carry on, carrion heart
I’m a tramp, torn apart
A lot of times, I wish I didn’t let you down
Let me take my last bow with a furrowed brow
I long to see your upside down frown
Here, take my hand and love me up somehow
We exchange grins ear to ear
I shed a silent…tear…
(Pre-chorus)
Walking as fast as lightning strikes…
My confident stride is headed your way
You can go ahead and hit those Facebook ‘likes’
On all my posts that I make day by day
I’m just sitting here optimistic’lly
Nothing new is happening, my dear misery
Oh, good grief…
Give me relief…
Oh, good grief…
Give me release…
My ego doesn’t matter to me
My reputation is screwed up frankly
But, I don’t care
I don’t have time to care
I just don’t have time
To play Truth or Dare
(Chorus)
Truth hurts, but…
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble
I made it look as if it was somewhat subtle
Your farewells didn’t mean a thing to me
You were my happiness until you made me feel angry
We had our love chemistry
I have separation anxiety
Don’t cause me anymore drama
I’m sick of all the trauma I feel…
If only you’d come home, momma…
But, you treat us like we’re no big deal!
I become numb and sore the minute we crashed like shimmering shores
I’m like a Cinderella at home all day and night, doing endless chores
Suddenly, my triumphant spirit begins to soar
So…what are you waiting for?
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble…
My darling so true…
(Verse 2)
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to be an abomination
I was just wondering around the place
Squandering time alone time and time again…
I want to feel that sensual sensation with you and I
You and I made me feel my all-too-familiar natural high
I’m not the only one, thinking I’m a waste of space
You’re my saving grace,
Longing for your embrace
So, just in case,
Give me another reason to love you again
Wonderin’ where you have been?
All my life,
I dealt with strife
I’m in love and I can’t hide it
I wouldn’t lie – our love is legit
(Pre-chorus)
Walking as fast as lightning strikes…
My confident stride is headed your way
You can go ahead and hit those Facebook ‘likes’
On all my posts that I make day by day
I’m just sitting here optimistically
Nothing new is happening, my dear misery
Oh, good grief…
Give me relief…
Oh, good grief…
Give me release…
My ego doesn’t matter to me
My reputation is screwed up frankly
But, I don’t care
I don’t have time to care
I just don’t have time
To play Truth or Dare
(Chorus)
Truth hurts, but…
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble
I made it look as if it was somewhat subtle
Somehow, your farewells didn’t mean a thing to me
You were my happiness until you made me feel angry
We had our love chemistry
I have separation anxiety, baby
Don’t cause me anymore drama
I’m sick of all the trauma I feel…
If only you’d come home, momma…
But, you treat us like we’re no big deal!
I become numb and sore the minute we crashed like shimmering shores
I’m like a Cinderella at home all day and night, doing endless chores
Suddenly, my triumphant spirit begins to soar
So…what are you waiting for?
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble…
My darling so true…
(Verse 3)
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to act so meaningless
I was in distress more or less
There’s lotsa secrets and truths I must confess
I often wish I wasn’t in love…
However, you’re the one I think of
I still have innocence and childlike joy,
Being that same ol’ benevolent boy
So, please don’t
Please don’t
Please don’t manipulate me like a wrecked-up toy
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble
I made it seem a little too subtle
I must leave you all alone now
I, alone, am on my own, without a phone
(Refrain)
Hmm Hmm mmm mmm Hmm (x2)
Ooooh…
You’re as bizarre as a genie in a maroon lamp
I’m a happy camper ever since my boots were damp
Carry on, carrion heart
I’m a tramp, torn apart
A lot of times, I wish I didn’t let you down
Let me take my last bow with a furrowed brow
I long to see your upside down frown
Here, take my hand and love me up somehow
(Bridge)
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to break your heart in two
Please forgive me…
Please forgive me…
Please…
I was a player…
I’m sorry,
I was sick with dem luv floo
I believe you and I
Are still meant to be
Now, I’m awfully shy
It’s easier said than done to get out of my shell
I belong in my own skin today – does that ring a bell?
