You Make It Seem Like Nothing Lyrics
I'm not used to coming through
more accustomed to a falling out
I'm trying hard now as I can for you
not to trip up on some stupid doubt
You got your hopes set way up high
way on up there way the air is thin
the limit's supposed to be the sky
I'm trying not to let you down again
It's starting to come to me
i didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
but its starting to come to me now
a little bit too late....
I can't see anything you done, any reason for the trouble you got
you haven't hurt anyone
compared to most that's sayin' quite a lot
I can't help you when you're sad, that's a constant source of pain to me
because I want to really bad
even though you make it seem like nothing
its starting to come to me
I didn't know about
I hadn't figure it out
but its starting to come to me now
a little bit too late
more accustomed to a falling out
I'm trying hard now as I can for you
not to trip up on some stupid doubt
way on up there way the air is thin
the limit's supposed to be the sky
I'm trying not to let you down again
It's starting to come to me
i didn't know about, I hadn't figured it out
but its starting to come to me now
a little bit too late....
you haven't hurt anyone
compared to most that's sayin' quite a lot
I can't help you when you're sad, that's a constant source of pain to me
because I want to really bad
even though you make it seem like nothing
I didn't know about
I hadn't figure it out
but its starting to come to me now
a little bit too late

I love this song. Hes trying to become a better person for this girl.He loves.But he cant get it right but he tries and when he feels he is getting it right its too late. Beautiful song. "The limit is supposed to be the sky" Is symbolic for things being different then how he expected them.
sigh
love you

Way on earth or river, air is thin
He actually says "Way on up there where the air is thin" I think he does anyway.
tronistory, i agree with you completly good analyzation
I agree as well. It also shows the difficultly guys sometimes have with dealing with emotions. Especially the emotions of girls.
reminds me of my relationship with my best friend.
this song is so beautifully melancholy.
"I can't help you when you're sad That's a constant source of pain to me Because I want to really bad Even though you make it seem like nothing"
so painfully true. brilliant.
