Chasing a Stranger Dream

Why the hell am I chasing you?
When I know for sure that I am not gonna reach you
When I know for sure that I am not gonna catch you
When I know for sure that I am not gonna make you mine

You left me without giving me a glance
You left me before I take a chance
You are not bothered about who I am
You never tried to know where I am
Why the hell am I chasing you?

Your are  in my sight
But there is always some distance
I  gave my best shot
But you have your ways to escape 
I even tried to speed up
But you never seemed to slow down
Why the hell am I chasing you?

There are times when you stop
There are moments when you raise hope
Somehow I control my joy
But you give a stranger look and say Goodbye
Why do I still think of you
Why do I still think you can be mine
Why the hell am I chasing you?

Why the hell am I chasing you?
When I know for sure that I am not gonna reach you
When I know for sure that I am not gonna catch you
When I know for sure that I am not gonna make you mine

oh it would be hard to live in this state of always wanting someone who is just never going to slow down and let you "catch them" I enjoyed the chase here!!

These are very heartfelt and expressive lyrics, Anand. Unreciprocated love can be sad and painful. Perhaps it's time to slow down and take stock of the situation. Time to move on?....easier said than done! ~ Regards // paul

- A touching write from your heart, Anand - Even if your heart still loves her, you must let her go - You hurt yourself by hunting for something you do not get - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
