It always catches me, darling,
I thought I left behind but it always caught me
And it still does darling,

I thought I ran away from those sleepless nights
But I am still wondering as my eyes refuse to close
I thought I had no tears left to cry
But I feel a river flowing through my eyes

I watch the sky get darker
Falling in harmony with my soul
Oh, how I wish my soul was lighter
How I wish I was smiling back
But I can't darling,
Because it's always catching me

I let you see my demons
And you stayed, with no sermon
You loved me for who I was
And I can assure you that I was lost
But you took me back,
Chased my demons away and showed me the light

And sometimes I feel it is coming back
I feel that I am giving in to my old demons
I feel that I am getting trapped again
And darling, it is stronger, I can't fight it

Let's just close our eyes, shall we?
Let's listen to the birds singing
And then maybe, you'll hold my hand
You will stop me from running away
Because darling, after all this time, I know
That it is still going to catch me
Writing is a mirror of the soul. Sometimes, the only way to get free is to let it all out but don't shout, nobody would listen. Just write some lines and breathe deeply.
