Trial of Love

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
