God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pain. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.<br /> -C.S. Lewis


[Verse_1]
Try not to be obsessed
but I can’t help myself
Don’t take pity on me
But please don’t put me on a shelf

[Chorus]
They say things about you, that I just can’t let go
They say things that can’t be true but how would I know?
I’d try to step up to the plate, but try as I might
Your beauty will always strive to surpass my sight.

[Verse_2]
Try not to be lonely
but I can’t help but be
Just leave me alone
But please don’t stray too far from me
Try to hear me speaking
signaling with words
you cannot hear me
and that’s what really hurts

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Be still. Distantly. Instantly. Blissfully.[echoe behind]
‘Cause I would do a million things
And try so hard to make you see
My love for you is pure concrete
But you will not remember me
[Returning] DISTANTLY!!

[Chorus_Alt.]
They say things about you, that just don’t seem fair.
They say things that might be true, but why should I care?
I’ve tried to accept my fate, but try as I might
Your beauty will always be there, surpassing my sight.

[EXT.]
Cry me a river I don’t give a damn
Build me a bridge walk over your own traps
Cry me a river I don’t know where you stand
Build me that bridge, then fall through the cracks.

I don't know, just some stuff I was thinking about, not all necessarily true, but inspired by a true story, I guess.
Enjoy.
