a little something

a little something

Soundtrack: Paul Armfield - A little something for your troubles


I tried to dig a hole so I can bury all my wrongs
A hole for my ignorance and all the harm it's done
But I'll have to dig another for all the guilt that I've unearthed
I cannot cleanse my conscience when I wash my hands in dirt
So for all the times I turned on you and dragged you through the mud
I'm giving you my heart
A little something for your troubles

I tried to build a house that could accomodate my crimes
With walls a mile thick to hide my tantrums and my lies
But I could not drag my devils from my angels though I tried
And when i locked the door I found my whole self trapped inside
So for all the times I shut you out or tried to wall you in
I'm giving you my love
A little something for your troubles

I'm not lying when I tell you I can't promise I won't lie
But I'll try to pull this camel through the needle in my eye
I know I ask a lot but go the distance if you can
I'll try to walk an honest mile but I'm not an honest man
So for all the times I lied to you just to lie with you again
I'm giving you my word
A little something for your troubles.
(Paul Armfield)
