| I can’t catch up to you
|
| You’ve already gone too far
|
| And you don’t remember
|
| Who you are or who I am.
|
| I can’t catch up with you
|
| You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see
|
| Everyday as you run away.
|
| You’re cutting lines out on a bible
|
| Too busy dying to stop and live.
|
| You done gave up on survival
|
| You gave all that you can give.
|
| And I sure wish you would come back home
|
| Nothing else for you to prove.
|
| I know you try real hard to make your mark
|
| But that world don’t love you the way I do.
|
| I can’t catch up to you
|
| You’ve already gone too far
|
| And you don’t remember
|
| Who you are or who I am.
|
| I can’t catch up with you
|
| You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see
|
| Everyday as you run away.
|
| There just ain’t no coming down
|
| When there ain’t no one around
|
| And your head still makes that sound
|
| And I watch it drive you crazy.
|
| Your mama’s saying prayers
|
| Pleading with the man upstairs
|
| You feel like no one cares
|
| And I watch it drive you crazy.
|
| You run run run run hiding from the sun
|
| And I know you wanna turn around
|
| But there’s nothing I can do.
|
| I can’t catch up to you
|
| You’ve already gone too far
|
| And you don’t remember
|
| Who you are or who I am.
|
| I can’t catch up with you
|
| You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see
|
| Everyday as you run away.
|
| These demons behind their faces
|
| You know the lies they tell are true
|
| You paint yourself into a corner
|
| And you chose the color blue.
|
| And you look for inspiration
|
| In the dark where the sickness lives
|
| And you’re stumbling over your own two feet
|
| And you’re headed for the edge of a cliff.
|
| I can’t catch up to you
|
| You’ve already gone too far
|
| And you don’t remember
|
| Who you are or who I am.
|
| I can’t catch up with you
|
| You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see
|
| Everyday as you run away.
|
| I watch you stumble watch you fall
|
| And I just can’t seem to help at all.
|
| And I feel… I feel like I’m wasting my time with you.
|
| And I know the way you feel been there myself
|
| And I just don’t wanna see your plan
|
| And I don’t wanna see you go through hell.
|
| I know it hurts, I know it stabs
|
| And I know it makes you feel real bad.
|
| Feel those things that are going on Inside your head and make your eyes
|
| Bloody red and I sympathize
|
| Cuz I know the way you are
|
| And I know you won’t get far. |
