I Have Been Told (early 1990's)

I have been told
That I scared you away

Because I knew that I loved you.

Life is so short.
I am crying now.
Do not be scared away.
Do not leave me here.

I am not willing to tread lightly
So I won't step on any toes.
I need someone
I need you (to pin me down)
There is no concrete evidence of my existence.
I am an aery nothing.
I am a floating city.
I am crying now.
Do not be scared away.

Life is so short
There is an urgency to all of this
There is nothing holding me down
Memory is like vomit.
Just when you don't want it, it's all over you
I am trying to be normal
I am trying to be sane
Because life is just so short
And so you won't be scared away
There is nothing holding me down
There is nothing holding me down
There is nothing holding me down
I need you (to pin me down)
