Come Up Short
by @saulius
Lyrics
I can't escape this feeling That I'm a ship without a port Although I try my best I come up short
Maybe I'm in denial Maybe I'm deflecting Maybe I'm inadequate Whenever I try helping
Only let them down
I try to give what I can But the span of my attention Seems to fall short of their plan Or reach my soul's intention
Only let them down
And I get an empty feeling All alone with no support
Yes it's an empty feeling Like a ship without a port
When I try my best And come up short

Really shows off your strengths. Your arrangement and execution are wonderful
Wistfully sad. It really catches the mood well. We’ve all been caught in these situations. Very well done.
those major 7th chords go well with your mellifluous voice.
Lovely, personal, vulnerable song - your vocal and guitar are exquisite. And the lyrics are so poetically precise. Love this one!
