 I'm  not used to coming through
 I'm  more accustomed to a  falling out
 I'm  trying hard now as I  can for you
 Not  to fuck up on some stupid  doubt
 I  got your hopes set way  up high
 Way  on up there where the  air is thin
 The  limit's supposed to  be the sky
 I'm  trying not to let you  down again
 It's  starting  to come to  me
 I  didn't know  about,  I hadn't figured it out
 But it's  starting  to come to  me now
 A  little bit  too late
 I  can't see anything you've  done
 Any  reason for the trouble  you've got
 You  haven't hurt anyone
 Compared  to most I'd say  that's saying quite a lot
 I  can't help you when you're  sad
 That's  a constant source  of pain to me
 Because  I want to really  bad
 Even  though you make it  seem like nothing
 It's  starting  to come to  me
 I  didn't know  about,  I hadn't figured it out
 But it's  starting  to come to  me now
 A  little bit  too late
