Trust Somebody Lyrics

Mama don't you weep
take your blankets from the floor
Let your baby sleep
you don't live here no more

You think you're drifting deep
but there's a light upon the shore
you just get tired sometimes
when it's heavy on your mind

Did somebody hurt you
Did somebody lie
Maybe they desert you
but they cared themselves inside
No matter how it goes down
You can still stand up with pride
you just get tired sometimes
you just get tired

And in the middle of the night time
in the freezing rain
I heard somebody asking was it all worth the pain
But I believe that your darkness
could never move your light
But when you're blinded
you're reminded for all that's wrong in life

Now when you're out of your mind
working that blind
to turn it around you better trust somebody
look at yourself you like what you see
If you want something else you better trust somebody
Ain't no one but a stranger to you
but I can show you what love can do

Some got lovin' by the hour
Some got lovin' by the pound
Well I will love you for a lifetime
and I'll never let you down

Because you know the truth is
We all go round and round
We just get tired sometimes
We just get tired

Well I don't know about you
but sometimes I feel like it's a crime
to suffer through the motions
One heartache at a time
But I can tell you still got it
by the look that's in your eyes
You think it's missing
but I'm guessing
it's been there all the time

Now when you're outta your mind
Working that blind
To turn it around you better trust somebody
Look at yourself
you like what you see
If you want something else
you better trust somebody
Ain't no one but a stranger to you
But I can show you what love can do

How would you know that you're alive
Until you died a thousand times
'Cause even fools like me are wise enough to say
you will have everything
when you give everything away

And now I'm outta of my mind
Working it blind
to turn it around I gotta trust somebody
look at myself I don't like what I see
I want something else
so I can trust somebody
Ain't no one but a stranger to you
But I can show you what love can do
