[Verse 1]
Where I come from
Was my home (Yes it was)
There were rooms in there
And stairs I climbed
Spent a lot of time
Looking out the window

[Chorus]
You don't know
This troubled love
Carrying around in my heart
Carry it around 'til I'm old

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Who can I show
This troubled love
Carrying around in my heart
Carry it around 'til I'm old
[Verse 3]
I try to be a citizen (Try to be a citizen)
Get this junkie off my back (Get this junkie)
How can I be a citizen? (How can I be a citizen?)
My flag flies half mast

[Chorus]
Where can I go
With this troubled love
Carrying around in my heart
Carry it around 'til I'm old

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
La la la la la
La la la la la la lo
La la la la la
La la la la la la lo

[Chorus]
Gonna let it flow
This troubled love
I carried it, I carried it
I carried it, I carried it
Carried it, carried it, carried it, yeah
[Verse 5]
La la la la la (La la la la lo)
La la la la la la lo
La la la la la (La la la la lo)
La la la la la la lo

[Outro]
La la la la la
La la la la la la lo
La la la la la
La la la la la la lo
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la lo
