For Taking The Trouble

For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin'
 You've been working through the rubble of a shattered mind
 Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye
 Tears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief?
 You thought that you were home free, you thought you had her well in hand
 But there were things about her you didn't understand
 Yeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now?
 To live your life without regret and make it work with what you get
 You didn't then, but now you know
 When she began to lie, you really should have let her go
 You're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bend
 It's like you're learning how to walk all over again
 Yeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to?
 That girl who catches every eye or the one you can set your compass by
 You set it by her soulful smile, the fire in her eye
 And the way she goes that extra mile
 The love you wanted this to be is somewhere down the line
 You'll find her eventually
 Your grandma and her grandma are sittin' 'round heaven discussin' the law
 Lovin' that girl was not your crime, livin' without her gonna take some time
 Lovin' that girl next thing you knew, you'd turned away from the thing you do
 Lovin' that girl, you couldn't see, living without her gonna make you free
