'Believe'

Sorry about my lateness, was so drained yesterday, anyway...

I wrote this originally as a song to accompany something I wrote about two friends falling in love...and I had the female character singing and releasing it for ironic effect. Hope you like it anyway.

It's called:

BELIEVE

V1:

I might be crazy

But I believe you feel it too

Tell me I’m your baby

And I’ll believe you

There’s nothing in the world I wouldn’t do

To spend a moment with you

But our wires keep getting double crossed

So the moments we have alone are lost

Chorus:

Baby I believe

Yes you’re all that I need

Keep me off the ground you’ve got me ten feet

Up on cloud nine

I know that with you I will be just fine

So baby tell me what I need to hear

Three words whispered softly in my ear

V2:

I may be insane

But I believe in you and me

Tell me you can’t stop saying my name

Cos I believe we were meant to be

There’s no one in this world who ever could

Ever stop me falling for you

But the precious moments we have together

Are runed but you know we’ve got forever

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

Ooh yes I believe

You were made for me

And I for you

We both know the truth

That we will be

Together you and me

Two hearts will beat

As one

Cos you’re by my side

Oh yeah

Destiny has uncovered itself tonight.

These are a little bit angry - these lyrics! The story behind them is - because I feel words are my strongest power, to get over people I write them letters explaining how I felt and why. I never actually send these letters - I tend to keep them in a secret place so that I can look back and I am often flabberghasted how a 'said person' made me feel and what I thought at the time. And these lyrics originate from one of thoses! Hope you like it. Comments are appreciated.

It's called:

LOVE RAT

V1:

I know what it’s like to be in love like that

To be in love with a love rat

He appears in your dreams

So effortlessly

So unexpectedly

Chorus:

You, you are a love rat

How dare you make me feel like that?

Gave all my heart and all you gave back

Was nothing at all you love rat

V2:

Stupid is what I am to feel that

Way for a love rat

But I didn’t know this was what you were

Until I uncovered the true picture

And saw you going off to her

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

Love rat

I really didn’t deserve that

Now your name’s in a song

I don’t care if it puts you off

The radar

Cos everyone should know what you are

Love rat

I gave you everything I had

What did I do to deserve that?

I guess you’ll never change your ways

A love rat is how you’re bound to stay.

'Because'

Lyric writing is a spontaneous act, for me anyway. Often I do not go back and edit the lyrics because how I felt when I wrote them might be totally different to how I'm feeling now. But I am so glad I didn't, because now I can look back and read exactly how I felt about a particular situation. So of course these lyrics are rough versions of whatever they will become. But as I've said before, I want to get my message out to the world and I can't think of a better way than through lyrics.
Lyrics are all relative. It is up to your interpretation. What a song means to you, is all to do with the situation you find yourself in at the moment of hearing it. For example, in 'I Hope You Find It' by Miley Cyrus, one particular note in the chorus reminds me of something sad, so although it always makes me cry, I love the song. Lyrics tend to be universal, like they can happen to anyone. And obviously if you've been through a similiar situation you automatically think it's 'your song'. That is why I like writing lyrics so mmuch. Because they won't mean the same to everyone and hopefully mine are relatable. 

Anyway, these lyrics are based on coming out a show and the ferociousnessof it being the end. You know what I mean, not disappointment necessarily but when it's been so good that you can't quite believe it's over. See what you think and please do leave your response to the lyrics and what I have said, whether  you agree or disagree or are on the fence about it. Thank you!

It's called:

BECAUSE

V1:

In the silence that follows after the band

You begin to clap your hands

Out of pure never-ending adrenalin

Maybe it was you who caught his eye endlessly hoping

At the end of the show

You get taken so quick back to the car

You’ll never know

If he is wondering where you are

Chorus:

Because it’s one night

One chance

One feeling so right

One last dance

Because it’s the strength

Of how she felt

Weighed up against

How his eyes made you melt

V2:

In the shadows when the stage has been forgotten

Baby you just go on hoping

That you were the one who made him stop and think

Although in your eyes tears are on the brink

At the end of the day

You know it’s a hopeless dream

A mindless game

Thinking that it’s all because of me

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

Why do you feel so incomplete?

When he walks away from you

That has to mean something you hope

Why do you feel loneliness closing in?

When he leaves you in the emptiness where you begin

Hoping and praying you’ll see his face again

(Repeat Chorus).

'Yours To Break'

I wrote this two years ago. I hope you like it!

It's called:

YOURS TO BREAK

V1:

Baby you’ve gotta live your life

I know all this but baby tonight

I cannot go on without you

And I hate feeling so blue

I know you don’t feel the way I do

But…

Chorus:

Baby what if we pretended?

We’d be way past friendship

You break down all my defences

Baby what if we role played?

We’d be more than words can say

My heart is yours to break

V2:

Baby believe me I understand

Sometimes come on too strong I can

But please don’t throw away what this could be

By not even having the courtesy to talk to me

My heart can’t handle this agony

Cos…

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

If I ever see you again

If you don’t avoid my whole existence

We could be amazing

If you gave the chance just one opportunity

Our chance is here tonight

Under all those pretty lights

The feeling is so right

So let’s take our chances tonight.

'So In Love With You'

I can write love songs too! The truth of this song is it was based on someone who I called T. T  is not one of his initials but meant a close circle of friends and I could have conversations about him, with him being in the room, but never being any the wiser! It was a good scheme we worked out to fool everyone but the people in the know. These lyrics let's my imagination run away because I never found the courage to tell him how I felt. But we are friends now, so not all was lost! I really hope you like the lyrics: comments are welcome, as always and if you'd like to have a go at putting music to the lyrics, you have free reign with the music. Just do let me know if you'd like to.

SO IN LOVE WITH YOU

V1:

Baby when I see you I wanna run and hide

Baby if only you knew the way I felt inside

But ooh I’m too shy to say a thing

Won’t you come over and say something?

Just start with hi

We’ll progress as the weeks go by

And as the years unfold

I’ll tell you one thing you should know

Chorus:

I am so in love with you

I can’t help it

I can hardly mend it

I am so in love with you

But my heart is going to break

If one more second you take

To come over and say hey

V2:

Baby look at me right in the eyes

Baby now there’s no where to run and hide

But ooh you have two options

To break me or start the adoption

Of these feelings for you that I have

For me, oh I wish you had

And as the days tick down on the clock

You gotta say something else my heart will stop

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

I, I’m so in love with you

And I, I will die without you

So I, I just wanna hold you

Just wanna love you

So come over here and say you feel it too

Cos if you don’t I don’t know what I’ll do
