Lyrics Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind - Rhiannon Giddens

Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind

And I’ve often wondered why your leaving’s been so long delayed
It’s all become so complicated, maybe you feel 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 love me, 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 love me, leave me and don’t let it trouble your mind
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 love me, leave me and don’t let it trouble your mind
