Maybe it was my fault
For chasing after dreams;
For trying to catch rainbows
And chasing unicorns through the streams.
Why did I hold on so tight?
Maybe I should have let you go;
Why did i try to keep you near me,
When I know you weren't mine to hold.
But still at the back of my mind
I thought that I could hold you tight;
To keep you from this cruel world
And guard you from the darkenst night.
But maybe I was just a fool
And maybe I was to blame,
For trying to hold you close
And shelter you from the driving rain.
But my arms are not the ones you seek,
Nor do they have the warmth your crave;
And nothing can change that fact,
No actions, no words to you I say.
So I will watch you from afar,
Taking what small words of hope you say;
Letting them bring me some small comfort
As somehow, I continue along my path each day.
