'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).
