I wrote you a song

I'm writing you a song
to let you know I care
to let you know I'm always
going to be there

I'm singing at the top of my voice
to keep you focussed on me
to keep you distracted from
my growing insanity

I'm looking into your eyes
as they look beyond my face
as they look towards the horizon
you so badly want to chase

I'm holding your hand in mine
to stop you from letting go
to stop you pulling away and
leave me feeling low

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
to turn your gaze on me
to turn your gaze away from the darkness
that engulfs you like the sea

I'm calling out to you but
nothing's getting through
nothing's getting through the chasm
that's been placed by you... all around you
