From_Now_On Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GettingOverIt Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForAnother Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Cuz breaking promises isn't the most attractive trend And I can't stand How well I blend Into the crowd 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." ForAnother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
