everyone just runs away from me

[tyarky]

am i that scary?
they easily get scared of how i am.
why can't i meet someone who'll like me for who i am?

they can't handle the fact that i can give
without waiting for anything in return.
well, for awhile, at least and then
i get crazy convincing myself that i don't want anything more.

they get scared by my wearing my heart on my sleeve.
sorta like that video of roger sanchez's another chance.
i'm that girl.
who would want to love that girl?

it's just recently that i ran into this song,
but this has always been mine:

i guess you could say i'm a little afraid
what if you go away i've seen it before
i've been here before
if i have to love myself tell me how to love myself
what's there to love about myself
i just want to see that as a person you want me

but i'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way
and i'm thinking you're just gonna run away
and i can't catch you
i guess i would say that i want you to stay
'cause you have this strange knack
adds a glow to my black as you chase it all away
and i hope that you can see i will someday leave these things
i am waiting to be free

oh i want to catch you

i can't catch you-sixpence none the richer/sixpence none the richer(1997)
