BEAUTIFUL

 

link removed

 

(Verse 1)

I know you have this theory that if you just shove things

Under the carpet, they will not emerge

No, they just lay there and linger

I can't even explain how I'm wrapped round their finger

And you, don't you ever feel the need to f***ing talk

'Cause let me tell you, I sure do

And you, don't you ever wonder why

You put me through the cruel things that you put me through

 

(Hook 1)

But I am not a saint

'Cause all these thoughts running through my brain

Need an outlet

 

(Chorus)

And every time he calls me beautiful

I feel beautiful

I feel beautiful

But isn't also quite so pitiful

That I feel beautiful

Only when you're far and gone

 

(Verse 2)

I know you have this theory that if you can't explain

Any of your actions, then you cannot be blamed

No, just because you're stupid

Doesn't mean in any way that you can excuse it

And you, don't you ever wonder if I'm still bitter

Well, let me say, you've got no f***ing clue

And you, don't you ever wonder what I'm thinking 'bout

When I am silent, if you only knew

 

(Hook 2)

But I am not a w****

It's just not the same anymore

I need an outlet

 

(Chorus)

 

(Hook 3)

But I am not in love

With him, he's just someone

Who's become my outlet

My outlet

 

(about my very troublesome last relationship, and the emotional affair which ensued between me and my boss whilst still in the relationship)

WONDERLAND

 

link removed

 

(Verse 1)

What have you done to me? I'm falling

Down the rabbit hole again

I tried so hard to leave, I was crawling

Trying to feel safe again

And then I saw the light, but you were calling

Telling me fairy tales

I tried so hard to stay in the real world

But I fell down the rabbit hole again

Down the rabbit hole

 

(Chorus)

Wonderland is not safe

Get me out of Wonderland

To a place with no love

Just get me out of Wonderland

Before I take something that isn't good for me

And now I suddenly feel so small

In this place that I love

Get me out of Wonderland

 

(Verse 2)

So many strange things that are passing by

As I'm walking here in Wonderland

You're walking next to me, but then you fall behind

And suddenly I'm scared again

I try to find the light, and wish you by my side

Telling me fairy tales

It's pretty lonely here in Wonderland

I'm down the rabbit hole again

Down the rabbit hole

 

(written about the same person in the very beginning of our romance, 18 years old and scared to enter a relationship with him for fear of getting hurt - with very good reason)

GHOSTS

 

link removed

 

(Verse 1)

I look into his eyes

I can tell that what he's about to say

Should come as no surprise

Suits me well 'cause the just other day

 

(Hook 1)

I thought about it, you know me too well

You know me better than anyone else

You know me better than you know yourself

You know me better than you know yourself

 

(Chorus)

Did you break me? Were you the one to break me?

Could you fix me? Could you please fix me?

Did you break free? Did you ever break free?

I thought I did, but I won't know until you kiss me

We're dead, we are dead, we are floating around as ghosts

As ghosts

In my head, in my head, we are floating around as ghosts

As ghosts

 

(Verse 2)

He has poisoned my mind

And in time he'll corrupt my soul as well

I can't claim to be blind

I can find the way all by myself

 

(Hook 2)

I thought about it, it must've been real

I don't mistake the way I feel

I wish you'd lost all your appeal

I wish you'd lost all your appeal

 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

I fell in love with the wrong one, with the wrong one

He knows me all too well

I fell in love with the wrong one, with the wrong one

The one who tripped me when I fell

 

(Hook 3)

I think about it, and I'm in hell

I must truly hate myself

I think I know you a little too well

I think I know you a little too well

 

(written about my first great love, also the first guy to break my heart)

I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED your songs. My favorite was 'Beautiful', although I feel as though you should change the title, because it's really not about how he calls you beautiful, but rather the sinful feelings you have about him being your outlet, no?

I think you have talent, and wish you'd get a link removed account and post them there! I have one, and writers truly give you feedback and help your writing improve.

I'm so jealous of your songs, I've wanted to write songs for so long, but I don't know where to start! I've been writing poems for forever, so I'm hoping you could give me some tips, you obviously know what you're doing!

 

If you make a link removed account, look for me-smalltownsympathies. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you!
