Keren Ann - My Name Is Trouble Lyrics

My name is trouble, my first names a mess
No need to greet me, I'm here to confess.
That if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath.
And if you let me love you I will let you down

My chase is endless I tend to obsess.
No game is out to my need to possess.
But if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love you to death

I'm petrified of emptiness, with a side of loneliness
Love it seems to break me in two
If you were to come back to me, this is for a melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble my first names a mess
Born to deceive you brought up to redress
And if you let me hold you, I won't hold my breath
But if you make me need you I will need you less.
-----Long Instrumental-----
I'm petrified of emptiness, with a side of loneliness
Love it seems to break me in two
If you were to come back to me, this is for a melody
There couldn't be a better way through

My name is trouble, my first names a mess
No need to greet me, I'm here to confess.
That if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will let you down

But if you let me hold you I won't hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love you to death
