I can't keep up, you're
Moving too fast,
Deep holes and darkness,
These things will pass.

Dark times and strange places where

When I came to see you
You had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
You turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there,
You turn into air.

Trust me, I want you
Just as you are,
Don't change the things you do,
Just stay as you are.

Dark times and strange places where

When I came to see you
You had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
You turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there,
You turn into air.

Dark times and strange places where

When I came to see you
You had nothing to say,
I stood right beside you,
You turned the other way,
I reached out to hold you
And found nobody there,
You turn into air.

    General CommentI think he's trying to help someone who is struggling with depression or something, but the person has already given up and can't be helped.
