where i come from
was my home
there were rooms in there
stairs i climbed
i spent a lot of time
looking out the window

you don't know
this troubled love
i'm carrying around in my heart
carry it around til i'm old

yeah, i could fold it up
forget about all this crazy stuff
please don't tell me i gotta leave
the ones that i love
just to rise above

who can i show
this troubled love
i'm carrying around in my heart
carry it around til i'm old

i try to be a citizen
get this junkie off my back
how can i be a citizen
my flag flies at half mast

where can i go
with this troubled love

gonna let it flow
this troubled love
i carried it
