I was tired of feeling low
Every time you'd run away
I'd play it cool but think too much
About every little thing you'd say
And I would try to recognize
The games you played with me
Here I am still holding on
With you it's hard to see
I have felt your thoughts have drifted
Somewhere that I couldn't stay
Your fear is just a wall to break
My darling, what keeps you at bay?
If your eyes could lift to mine
I know they're weighted down
By the thoughts you leave behind
Each time you come around
And I would look up to the stars
As if they had a prayer for me
And for you a lullaby
That only leaves my heart lonely
I would try to recognize
The games you played with me
Here I am still holding on
With you it's hard to see
