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

Lovely, personal, vulnerable song - your vocal and guitar are exquisite. And the lyrics are so poetically precise. Love this one!

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.
