I'm not really in the mood to tell everyone about my topsy-turvy life. But. But I wrote some lyrics and I'll put them here and if anyone is reading this and wants to let me know what they think I'd be delighted. (Did I mention that I really love constructive critisism? )
So this first one is about a friend that I've known for a long time. A best friend. Sadly, this year she and I have been growing apart. It really is sad for me because I have known her more than half my life. But well...yeah. I guess I wasn't as important to her.
Curtain Call
When you think of me
Do you remember that autumn?
When all the leaves were changing
'Cause when i remember you
All I can see is then
That was the begginning
Of the end
Everything fades away
No promises were kept
I tried so hard and I still couldn't hold
Onto you
That was the begginning
Of the end
I never knew
How painful losing you would be
And grasping on
For just one more year with you
Excrutiating
And sitting here
Next to you
Pretending to be happy
When I know how far away you are.
That was the begginning
Of the end
Everything fades away
No promises were kept
I tried so hard and I still couldn't hold
Onto you
That was the begginning
Of the end
BRIDGE:
And I call back
Those days
In the childhood years
No conflicting people
No insecure fears
That was the begginning
Of the end
Everything fades away
No promises were kept
I tried so hard and I still couldn't hold
Onto you
That was the begginning
Of the end
This is our curtain call
Last time I see you again
This next one is more recent. It was also a spur-of-the-moment song. Y'all know whats going on right now so this is kinda the emotions from that.
Five Seconds
Tears course down my cheeks
I should have expected this
But still
When it hits
My heart will never heal completely
In a moment
Maybe five seconds
A life can change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing anyone says or does
Can make this come undone
Ice cold
These warm tears
leave my heart freezing
And I return to that moment in time
A phone call
And simple words
In a moment
Maybe five seconds
A life can change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing anyone says or does
Can make this come undone
BRIDGE:
I should have expected this

When it hits
My heart will never heal completely

These warm tears
leave my heart freezing
And I return to that moment in time
A phone call
And simple words
In a moment
Maybe five seconds
A life can change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing anyone says or does
Can make this come undone
BRIDGE:
How can anything be
And because of this
My heart has ceased it's beat
In a moment
Maybe five seconds
A life can change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing anyone says or does
Can make this come undone
How can I live on
All that I knew is gone
My world has flipped upside down
My chest completely hollow now
In just a moment
Only five seconds
My life
Changed
And because of this
My heart has ceased it's beat
In a moment
Maybe five seconds
A life can change
Nothing stays the same
Nothing anyone says or does
Can make this come undone
How can I live on
All that I knew is gone
My world has flipped upside down
My chest completely hollow now
In just a moment
Only five seconds
My life
Changed
I'd love to see/hear these put to music, especially that 1st one!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a writer of songs, so my opinion doesn't count as much, but this part [2nd song] is somewhat confusing, I thought: "Ice cold / These warm tears / leave my heart freezing" but maybe I'm just not pausing at the right moments??
*sadface, hugs* :(
