I guess that I’d lost sight
Of all that I was
Looking for,
Drowned beneath the words that
Tumbled from my mouth.
Aim to please and try too hard
As all I say is
Left behind,
Shrouded by the clouds we are
Passing by the door.
Wanting always just to please
And hold a candle
To your face,
Burn a smile into the sky
But smiles always fade.
Close my eyes to paint the day
And hope that you’ll
Remember this,
Close your eyes I am not here
And never truly was.
Aim to please and try too hard
As all I say is
Left behind,
Shrouded by the clouds we are
Passing by the door.
