Eighteen

You're so close yet you're out of reach Inadequacy is what I preach I'll never be yours, you'll never be mine Eighteen years of steady decline I grin and bear but inside I am dying Can't change the past so I should stop trying When I was young I had an innocent dream But now I've grown it is over it seems On a lonesome night I gaze at the stars Is a little happiness too much to ask? Is a little warmth too much to spare? Stuck in a road that'll lead me nowhere You're so close yet you're out of reach Inadequacy is what I preach Head over heels, I know I've fallen My love, can you hear me calling?
