The Troubles

[Chorus: Lykke Li]

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till someone else was in control

[Verse 1: Bono]

You think it's easier

To put your finger on the trouble

When the trouble is you

And you think it's easier

To know your own tricks

Well, it's the hardest thing you'll ever do

[Pre-Chorus: Bono & Lykke Li]

I have a will for survival

So you can hurt me and hurt me some more

I can live with denial

But you're not my troubles anymore

[Chorus: Lykke Li]

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till somebody else was in control

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till someone else was in control

[Verse 2: Bono]

You think it's easier

To give up on the trouble

If the trouble is destroying you

And you think it's easier

But before you threw me a rope

It was the one thing I could hold on to

[Pre-Chorus: Bono & Lykke Li]

I have a will for survival

So you can hurt me then and hurt me some more

I can live with denial

But you're not my troubles anymore

[Chorus: Lykke Li & (Bono)]

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Somebody stepped inside your soul

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till somebody else was in control (Someone else is in control)

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till somebody else was in control

[Bridge: Bono & Lykke Li]

God knows it's not easy

Taking on the shape of someone else's pain

God, now you can see me

I'm naked and I'm not afraid

My body's sacred, and I'm not ashamed

[Chorus: Lykke Li & (Bono)]

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till somebody else was in control (Someone else is in control)

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Somebody stepped inside your soul (Oh no)

Little by little they robbed and stole

Till someone else was in control (Someone else is in control)
