Lyrics I wrote: "I'll Sing For You"

I'll Sing For You

 

It didn't mean anything

Nothing at all

But I hate that I broke it

I know it's just 'something small'

But I hate lying

I hate hating

I don't hate anything at all

Nothing but me

I'm sorry

 

[Chorus

I'll sing for you

Like I promised I would do

If you'll wait for me

This isn't quite as easily

Done

As I pretend

I pretend I'm not falling in

Love?

[End Chorus]

 

You are looking for conversation

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out

Is this an invitation

To say

Please don't go away

 

Cuz I will

I will keep my promises

 

{chorus}

 

This is the wrong

Foot to start on

I'm in the wrong

Can we try this again?

It's just a song

And if you'd asked a little louder

If I'd known that you had meant it…

But I couldn't tell

I broke a promise

I hope I go to he**

 

Cuz I don't want to

Not to

Keep my promises

(Like everybody else)

 

{chorus}

 

And here I am singing all alone

I watch you walk away

And the world grows cold

I see you looking to someone else

And if you knew I was looking

Would you let me help you save yourself?

 

I promise

Not to break another promise

To you

 

{chorus}

 

Well I hope

That you'll give me a second chance

Well I can't believe

I'm ready to fall back into this dance

Well maybe it's too soon

 

For both of us

 

I can't believe

Please don't judge me

I know I deserve your skepticism now

If I can change what I did

Please tell me how

 

I don't wanna lie to you again

 

{chorus}

 

And I was nervous

I bet you didn't notice

I was hoping you would stay

But I watched you walk away

 

Cuz breaking promises isn't the most attractive trend

And I can't stand

How well I blend

Into the crowd

 

Please pull me out

 

{chorus}

FNO,

I don't know how this song plays in your head, but for me, it reads very angry-rocker (another one for Avril, maybe? ;-))...

 

Of course, having the 'advantage' of knowing some of the history, this could be very soft and slow, too....

 

But, the thing is, your message comes accross through your lyrics - each and every time... You really do have a gift!

 

tcoy!

Can I just say, wow. That line is fantastic. Too true. I really did like the first like 2 or 3 stanzas, they were creative. I felt as tho things started getting dragged out and things were just being said instead of being poetic/rhythmatic. I feel like you had a strong end and a strong beginning. I think you wanted to blatently tell us what is wrong, but perhaps you have to let your reader/viewer/listener just guess what is wrong... leaves more intrigue to be found.

 

I read it more like the Green Day song "I don't care if you don't care."
