Meticulous Man

Meticulous Man

By: Tyler Ross

Give a little, but hold back pursuit

Have more class

Don’t let it spoil you

It’s what’s inside

So don’t fuck it up

Don’t get tongue-tied

Only follow your heart

Learn to share

So you don’t fuck it up

Don’t be so available

Or you’ll never get what you want

Maybe I’m selfish

Maybe I’m scared

Maybe I think too much

Maybe it’s because I care

Say how you feel

But don’t say too much

Never know how it crosses

You can lose what you want

Live in the moment

It’s all you can do

Make a friend

Let them inspire you

Show more actions, but hold back the chase

Have more distinction

To stand apart from another face

Maybe I’m selfish

Maybe I’m scared

Maybe I think too much

Maybe it’s because I care

Settled down with the calm nerves

Careful how you make your plans

And share your words

This is the game we’ve all been taught

It’s become harder to play

We’ve become something we’re not

It happens to be harder to please

We sell ourselves out

And fall to our knees

Maybe we were damned from the start

This whole cycle continues to play with our hearts

I wish I could change

I wish you would change

Maybe this all was never meant for me
