The Trouble I've Seen Lyrics

Hey girl, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey world, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey girl, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey world, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need, oh

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down,
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again
Time and again

Somehow it came to me
In a moment of silence
Filled with the things I should have said
And I know I burned you out
I know I made you try
And only I can change these words I use to tie you down, oh

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down,
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down,
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again,
and again, and again

Hey girl, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey world, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey girl, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need

Hey world, I know what you want from me
I know what you need from me
I know what you need, oh

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down, 
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again
Time and again

Somehow it came to me
In a moment of silence
Filled with the things I should have said
And I know I burned you out
I know I made you try
And only I can change these words I use to tie you down, oh

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down,
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again

Have you seen the trouble that I've seen?
Packed up and weighed down,
these voices in my mind
And you know what it takes to stay happy,
Time and again,
and again, and again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
