WOULD YOU WORRY

Would you worry if I switched my phone to mute
Left you wondering how I was
If I managed and if I coped with it

Would you worry if I forgot the day of week, the week, the month, the year
Left you wondering where I was
If I struggled up the hill or not

Would you worry I left them all behind
Shut the door and turned off the light
If I carried on or not
