Can't Catch Up - Rehab

I can’t catch up to you

You’ve already gone too far

And you don’t remember

Who you are or who I am.

I can’t catch up with you

You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see

Everyday as you run away.

You’re cutting lines out on a bible

Too busy dying to stop and live.

You done gave up on survival

You gave all that you can give.

And I sure wish you would come back home

Nothing else for you to prove.

I know you try real hard to make your mark

But that world don’t love you the way I do.

I can’t catch up to you

You’ve already gone too far

And you don’t remember

Who you are or who I am.

I can’t catch up with you

You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see

Everyday as you run away.

There just ain’t no coming down

When there ain’t no one around

And your head still makes that sound

And I watch it drive you crazy.

Your mama’s saying prayers

Pleading with the man upstairs

You feel like no one cares

And I watch it drive you crazy.

You run run run run hiding from the sun

And I know you wanna turn around

But there’s nothing I can do.

I can’t catch up to you

You’ve already gone too far

And you don’t remember

Who you are or who I am.

I can’t catch up with you

You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see

Everyday as you run away.

These demons behind their faces

You know the lies they tell are true

You paint yourself into a corner

And you chose the color blue.

And you look for inspiration

In the dark where the sickness lives

And you’re stumbling over your own two feet

And you’re headed for the edge of a cliff.

I can’t catch up to you

You’ve already gone too far

And you don’t remember

Who you are or who I am.

I can’t catch up with you

You’re way up ahead of me And you’re getting harder see

Everyday as you run away.

I watch you stumble watch you fall

And I just can’t seem to help at all.

And I feel… I feel like I’m wasting my time with you.

And I know the way you feel been there myself

And I just don’t wanna see your plan

And I don’t wanna see you go through hell.

I know it hurts, I know it stabs

And I know it makes you feel real bad.

Feel those things that are going on Inside your head and make your eyes

Bloody red and I sympathize

Cuz I know the way you are

And I know you won’t get far.
