For a friend.

Verse 1

I see the pain behind your eyes,

I see the fear behind your tears.

I see all the hurt you’ve been through,

In the long and and lonely years.

And I know this is something new,

But I feel the need to tell this to you.. 

Now.

Chorus:

That I know everything will be okay,

And that to see you smile,

Brightens my day.

The spark in your eye,

Means you know, I’ll never lie,

To you.

And the future ahead, 

Is so blindingly bright,

I know that one day,

You’ll find your spotlight,

Just know I’ll always be there, 

For you.

Bridge

We’ve made our way through the toughest times,

But now we’re here, it was all worth the climb.

Thank you for showing me, how strong I can be.

The light surrounding you, has set me free.

This song is super slow and awesome. Good work band! This one was a team effort :)

Verse 1

I wont ever make another promise, 

I can’t promise to keep.

And I wont ever tell another lie,

To help put you to sleep.

Cause I want you to fall, at my feet.

And I need you to place, your trust in me.

Tonight, please for tonight.

Chorus

And it’s hard to say I’m sorry,

When you left me here tonight,

You’ve been blinded by the moment,

Please just help me make this right.

Help me make this right.

Cause it’s a cold and lonely night without you,

You keep pushing me away,

What else can I do? How can I get through?

Just tell me how to get through.

Verse 2

And can we just forget,

All the betrayals that we made,

And can we just go back to the happier days?

Where it was just you and me,

In our little heaven together,

And where we both thought that,

This would be forever,

Tonight, please for tonight.

So, this was my attempt a while ago to write a non-depressing song. Haha. It’s pretty lame!

Verse 1

She’s had straight A’s, since the first grade.

Not interested, in getting laid.

Always tidy, with an ironed shirt.

So sure she’d, never get hurt.

But then he came around,

Unlike anything she’d ever found,

With his scruffy hair, and ripped jeans.

He’s exactly what she needs.

Chorus

And its like woah-oah

She’s never felt this way.

And woah-oah,

I guess he’s here to stay.

Where they’re going, there’s no coming back.

He makes up for what she lacks,

All this feels so surreal.

Been pushed head over heels.

Verse 2

She’s been dying to get out,

And see what the worlds about,

He says I’ll take you,

Just promise me you’ll be true.

He set her free, from the life,

That was killing her, the pain inside,

With his scruffy hair, and ripped jeans.

He’s exactly what she needs.

Chorus

This one is pretty scraggly, I don’t really have a melody or structure or anything set for it which is unusual for me, but I like the words. And I really like when two verses are the same for some reason, I think it’s more powerful, more persuasive. So I’ve put that into this song. I hope it gets the message across. Haha.

Verse 1

Your words, they kill me with their spite.

Can’t you, just leave me alone tonight?

Your tongue, it’s once again gone wild,

Your eyes, scheming like a child.

You’ve been, left for way too long.

And can’t, make it on your own.

Finally, open to revenge.

I hope I, don’t see you again.

Chorus

Your holding me back, with your lame excuses,

Your twisting my words into something useless,

Those nights? Yeah, they’re lost and forgotten.

This must be the end,

Boy, you’re truly something.

Repeat Verse 1

Chorus

Bridge

How can I move on, when you won’t leave me alone?

How can I be strong, when you know my weakness?

How can you know me, when I don’t know myself?

How can this be real, when all I said was false?

This song is really, really old. Its actually the first complete one I ever wrote.

Verse 1

It’s taken years, for me to figure out,

If this is what life’s about, I’ll go insane.

Can’t you see, baby, it’s not for me.

Maybe, I’m just meant to be, more mundane.

But I can’t take this any longer,

What doesnt kill you, doesnt make you stronger.

So maybe, I’ll see you around?

Chorus

Her head says no, her heart screams go,

The tears are acid on her cheeks,

The times gone fast,

Who thought, it’d last,

As long as it did.

Now, time’s so slow,

As if it knows, whats playing on her mind,

I’m sorry, I think that it’s time.

I’m sorry, guess this is goodbye.

Verse 2

The memories, well what I have left,

I swear I’ll never forget, when it was me and you.

But I’m fragile, and more than vulnerable,

To the words you choose, to make me believe you.

But I can’t take this any longer,

What doesn’t kill you, doesnt make you stronger,

So maybe I’ll see you around?

Chorus x 2

This song is actually like 18 months old, but I was going through my lyrics and thought I’d chuck it on here. I was originally calling this song Fuck the World, but thats a bit depressing. Haha. I was in a really bad mood (obviously). Excuse the angstiness.

Verse 1

I said I wasnt ready,

I said no, not this time.

But somehow you convinced me,

That it would be alright.

You said nothing would change,

It would all still be the same.

But now, I’m here without you,

And I’m not the one to blame.

Pre Chorus

It was all a lie,

Yeah everything was fake.

How was I supposed to know,

That you would only take?

But for reasons that I just don’t know.

I just can’t seem to let go.

Chorus

So just get me, out of this place.

I just cant, I cant see your face.

And I’m hurting, too deep inside.

I’m trying to hide from myself,

This is hell. You shot me dead.

Here we go again.

Verse 2

I can’t believe I fell,

For the same tricks again.

I’m thinking maybe,

We should have just stayed friends.

But you said, go on, take the risk.

Look how that turned out?

What the fuck is this?

Pre Chorus

I should have known,

When you said that you werent serious,

That I was always going to be second best.

I’m sorry I said I wasnt after much,

Turns out I need more than just a touch,

To keep me here.

Chorus
