Trouble is a Friend - Lenka

Trouble, he will find you no matter where you go, oh, oh
No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh, oh
The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh, oh
You're fine for a while, but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine, oh

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh, oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh, oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh, oh
So don't forget as you ease on down that road

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine, oh, oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm

Trouble is a friend, yeah, trouble is a friend of mine, oh
How I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave
I try, oh, oh, I try

But he's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the wings
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah
Trouble is a friend of mine
Oh, oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah, trouble is a friend of mine, oh
