Catch Me
Catch me
This ain’t no place for a man to die.
I’m fading away; save me before I float into the sky.
For the very last time, I am all yours;
Stand up tall, I’m about to fall.
Catch me quickly and save my world.
I feel you looking into me
And I am left feeling naked.
Who are you to look right through me?
Take my love away from me; it is all I have to give.
I am the sort of person who can only write his feelings down
And never show you my true face.
I am the sort of person who doesn’t know how,
To do something that means something…what a waste.
I hide in the shadows lurking beneath the street
And there is nothing left here for me to feel.
I look at you and think about you chasing me;
Reality reminds me that will never be.
I’m calling out for you to hear;
But you will not, I fear.
You will not reply,
Because I speak in silence.
I wish I could try harder;
I do sometimes…
But mostly I just hide it.
