Lyrics

TRYING TO CATCH YOU Words and music by John M.
c. Mollenhauer Music, 1987 SESAC


What am I supposed to say?
When I see you heart crumble
Like an old piece of clay
When I’m trying to hold you
And you’re backing away
Should I simply have told you
To have a nice day?
Baby I just can’t treat you that way
Yeah.

I can’t stand to see you fall
Without trying to catch you
I can’t see you cry
Without feeling your pain
I’m a friend, and that’s all
Yeah, but I’m a man, not a statue
And it hurts me to see you this way,
Yeah yeah yeah.

What am I supposed to do
When I see all your castles
Are falling on you
So many hassles
You’re struggling through
Is it so much I’m asking
To be comforting you?
Baby that’s all I’m trying to do…
Yeah.

I can’t stand to see you fall
Without trying to catch you
I can’t see you cry
Without feeling your pain
I’m a friend and that’s all
Yeah, but I’m a man, not a statue
And it hurts me to see you this way…
Yeah yeah yeah.
