Lyrics

I guess you could say

I'm a little afraid

I'm a little afraid

What if you go away?

I've seen it before

I've been here before

If I have to love myself

Tell me how to love myself

What's there to love about myself?

I just wanna to see

That as a person you want me

As a person you want me

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way

And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away

And I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)

I guess I would say

That I want you to stay

That I want you to stay

'Cause you have this strange knack

Adds a glow to my black

As you chase it all away

And I hope that you can see

I will someday leave these things

I am waiting to be free

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way

And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away

And I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

Oh, I wanna catch you

(Ah, ah)

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way

And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away

And I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

Oh, I wanna catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

I can't catch you

(Ah, ah)

Oh, I wanna catch you

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)

(Ah, ah)
