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

This is a fairly new one. I like it. I don’t think I’d be able to turn it into a song though cause its practically a tongue twister. I don’t know why I chose to use alliteration in this one, I’ve never done it before. It was fun though.

Verse 1

You are so carefully constructed,

All your real thoughts not lusted,

By the magazines you read.

The models that you see.

You are so delicately demeanoured,

All your true ambitions defeated,

By your material ways,

Your life is such a daze.

Chorus

So put on your face, that you wear,

To handle the day, do you care,

Really what they say?

Is it worth all the pain?

So if you can handle the wrath,

Of all the friends that you don’t have,

Would you take another chance?

And be honest?

Verse 2

You are so elegantly eager,

For a life that is so meagre,

While your drifting through the city,

Forever making yourself pretty.

You are so marveously misleading,

Changing everything you believe in,

To fit into this square, but I know you hate it there.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

And I know that its hard,

And I know you’ve come so far,

But is it really worth it?

The pain of being perfect?
