Oh no, I see
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I'd said
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turn to run
And thought of all the stupid things I'd done
And I, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
And oh, no, I never meant to do you harm
Oh, no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
But here am I in my little bubble
Singing out I, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
And oh, no, I never meant to do you harm
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
About This Song

The song's protagonist repeatedly apologizes for causing pain, emphasizing their genuine remorse with the refrain that they "never meant to cause you trouble." Musically, it features Coldplay's signature gentle piano melody and Chris Martin's vulnerable vocals, creating an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the song's emotional weight. The track showcases the band's early alternative rock style from their debut album *Parachutes*, with its sparse instrumentation allowing the raw emotion and sincerity of the lyrics to take center stage. "Trouble" became one of Coldplay's breakthrough hits, establishing their reputation for crafting deeply personal songs that resonate with listeners experiencing similar feelings of remorse and the desire for forgiveness.
