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.
