Trouble Is

Be prepared
I know what's coming next
If she's entertaining doubts I guess that you know what is best
So I should
Be prepared
To make do with what is left
And if I can't prepare myself at least I know what to expect

My mind's made up about her
I couldn't live if I didn’t have her

And when I'm back home
Safe in her arms
Don’t knock on her door
Don’t pick up your phone
If she's entertaining doubts how do I explain
A grain of salt for her to take with the things you say

My mind's made up about her
I couldn't live if I didn’t have her
So many times
So many times
I should’ve thanked god that I have her

Despite the distance give me trust
And I will bring it home to you
Give me till nothing's left but patience
And I will bring it home to you
She only wants to spare you and I the time
We so faithfully invested
She throws it in our faces

My mind's made up about her
I couldn't live if I didn’t have her
So many times (you've been taken advantage of)
So many times (is that all I'm capable of?)
I should’ve thanked god that I have her (if it's just bitterness don't let it blind her)
