Breaking the Barricade Track

You know, it’s funny
How many people I’ve put my trust in
It’s like I’m stuck in a tree
And when I fall, I have faith you’ll catch me

No one encourages what I want
And I sit here thinking that nothing will begin
You draw the plans and I perform the stunt
But it doesn’t fill this sinking ness within

If I could just keep my calm
There is a reason why I’m scared of this feeling
Provide, guide and protect like the Shepard’s Psalm
Even though it seems like I’m the only one reeling

Should I trust this instinct?
Or should I listen to what you say is true?
Weighing facts that seem linked
There’s truth in your story but you still blinked

I guess I’ll never know unless I try
How will I know if I was meant to be with you?
Will always be asking myself why?
Could I have ever said “I love you too”?

Sometimes it seems that way
But then its seems I would be caught off guard
I would lose sleep over something I should say
Believe me, it was hard

So do I want to go through this again?
I still can’t tell if you are sincere
It seems almost as if it’s a cardinal sin
But I still love it when you are near

These thoughts will remain over my head
And I just want you to know
Maybe there are some things I should have said
And I think about these things so

I thought these feelings for you would fade
I think I’ve learned to accept the way I feel
Hopefully you’ll notice the advances I’ve made
And maybe someday these dreams will become real
