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 to 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, cause


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 to 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 -u-un
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 to see everyday as you run away


I've seen 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 to 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

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

Cause I know the way you are
And I know you won't get far
