*Catch Yourself*

Just Catch Yourself A quick smile, glance down. Don't get caught, catch yourself. You can't let them see. Your face is red? Don't let them see, Just catch yourself before it's too late. There is no way this is really happening; You’re just seeing things – just catch yourself. Nothing goes the way you want it to, It’s not what you think it is, it’s not just for you. Just catch yourself. Just catch yourself before you’re too late Before your heart can’t take it back- It’s jumping out of your chest? Restrain it before it gets loose, You can’t have a hopeful heart, It’s pointless He smiles, you look down. Your heart leaps, don’t get caught. He makes you laugh; your face gets red, Cover it; hide it, so he can’t see. He’s being nice, he’s being thought full, Don’t believe it, just pretend there’s nothing there. You’re seeing things, he’s not interested- Stop the avalanche before it destroys everything! Just catch yourself; you can’t be too careful. Your heart is only so strong, it will break too easily. Don’t hope, just catch yourself… Before you fall- You’re Slowly F A L L I N G It’s too late… Don’t you ever LEARN?
