Rhiannon Giddens — Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind lyrics

Lyrics

Our love affair is bittersweet, insecure and incomplete
And I’ve often wondered why your leaving’s been so long delayed
It’s all become so complicated, maybe you feel so obligated
And out of sympathy for me, you stay
But I had rather live alone than live with someone who doesn’t love me And I’d rather have you go than stay and put me down thinkin' you’re above me Our love affair is so wound up, it’s best that we unwind
And if you don’t leave me, and don’t let it trouble your mind
You’ve waited much too long to leave, afraid of how I’d take it And I’m deeply touched by your concern, but I think I can make it It won’t be easy for a while, but I’ll forget in time
And if you don’t leave me, and don’t let it trouble your mind
But I had rather live alone than live with someone who doesn’t love me And I’d rather have you go than stay and put me down thinkin' you’re above me Our love affair is so wound up, it’s best that we unwind
And if you don’t leave me, and don’t let it trouble your mind
Our love affair is bittersweet, insecure and incomplete
And I’ve often wondered why your leaving’s been so long delayed
