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
