r/LyricalWriting

Once again I’m curious of the internets opinion on my lyrics lol. Leave a comment of any improvements I can make, your favorite or least favorite part, or what the song means to you :)

Btw I do use ai to put music to my lyrics like the cringe god I am lol (but I do, do the writing) maybe Spotify upload one day 🤔

Meant to be for a post hardcore/ Metalcore song

[verse]
Another train here another train gone
The homeless man is getting it on
Get back the crippled hands on a piece
Red alert cameras out calling the police

[verse]
Each sentence indecipherable
No wheels on a brand new bicycle
Hailing to an unborn god disciple
To bring fire to freeze a five inch icicle

[pre chorus]
They only know what I tell them
Sympathy exists on a spectrum
Of light rays casted from a prism
Containing the fragments of exposition

[chorus]
Educated in sickness but can’t feel the cancer
Sane questions misunderstand crazy answers
It can be mistaken, lost in translation
Guidance is taken with hesitation
Educated in sickness but can’t feel the cancer
Everyone thinks they have the answer
They only peel and reveal what I feel
But they never tasted my home cooked meal

[verse]
One mind knows the meaning
To feeling what’s for seeing
The true definition of seething
Is to wake up when you’re dreaming

[verse]
Stuck mumbling that you had it all
But then you had a great big fall
Made a big mess with your brains on the wall
Investigators think that they know it all

[pre chorus]
They only know what I tell them
Sympathy exists on a spectrum
Of light rays casted from a prism
Containing the fragments of exposition

[chorus]
Educated in sickness but can’t feel the cancer
Sane questions misunderstand crazy answers
It can be mistaken, lost in translation
Guidance is taken with hesitation
Educated in sickness but can’t feel the cancer
Everyone thinks they have the answer
They only peel and reveal what I feel
But they never tasted my home cooked meal

[verse]
Each sentence indecipherable
No wheels on a brand new bicycle
Hailing to an unborn god disciple
To bring fire to freeze a five inch icicle

[outro]
Weight so heavy when your stashing stones
To throw at glass houses when no one’s home
You think you feel me only through assumption?
But im just a hollowed out basic pumpkin
They’d never know
You’d never know
I’m dying inside
Until I’m just a pile of mush

(feedback welcome pls)

VERSE 1

I grieve lives that never happened
like they’re buried in the yard

every plan I make for us
falls apart before it starts

Some days I wanna warn you
before you sink in any deeper

tell you I’m still learning how to carry myself
let alone somebody else

PRE-CHORUS

You keep patching up the cracks
pretending they don’t spread

talking like tomorrow’s gonna
fix what’s in my head

CHORUS

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

while I hate myself
for letting you believe I ever could

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

and I’ll spend mine trying not to become
another thing you’ll lose

VERSE 2

I turned every good night
into something we had to survive

Convince you to leave where you were
then need you back by my side

Maybe last July I'd go with you
you wouldn't have to ask

Now I'm begging you to stay
but refusing to go out

Building our whole life
around what I'm afraid about

PRE-CHORUS

You keep hanging pictures
over water stains

acting like a fresh coat of paint
can make me okay

CHORUS

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

the girl you think exists
Keeps slipping out of my hands

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

and I’ll spend mine disappointing you
then hating myself for it

BRIDGE

I wish you weren’t so good
at seeing the best in me

when I’m not sure she’s underneath

Sometimes I think the cruelest thing you’ve done
was never giving up

Because every time I hit the bottom
you’re still standing there

looking past the wreckage
like there’s something left to salvage

FINAL CHORUS

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

like there’s some version of me
hiding underneath all this

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

while I keep looking for her too

Searching every memory
for some proof she made it through

You’ll spend your whole life
waiting for me to get better

while I keep looking for her too

As Alice said..

Well we’ve got no class / And we’ve got no principles / And we’ve got no innocence / We can’t even think of a word that rhymes!”

Lately I've had trouble falling asleep until late, but an upside to this is that I always get great ideas for writing. I thought I might share this piece that I'm actually rather proud of. I'd like to know what the idea could be interpreted as or if it works as a coherent idea at all. I've never written a full lyrics piece so I would like any and all feedback! Thank you!

[Verse 1]

Would your hair be red,

Would your eyes be blue?

Would you tell me stupid things,

Or have stupid tattoos?

Would you sing too loud,

Or whisper too?

[Guitar]

[Chorus 1]

Waves on the ocean,

I've never seen 'em.

But maybe you have,

And they pulled you inside them.

Stars hold your hands now,

Give you the home we wait for.

Wait for me there,

I'll wait for you on the shore.

[Verse 2]

Never laid in the ground,

But you're marked on our hearts.

Never danced on the asphalt,

But I'll dance one for you.

Where would you be now?

Heaven only knows.

If I make it anywhere,

I'll sing for you at my shows.

[Chorus 2]

White sand floors,

I've never seen them.

But maybe you have,

And you couldn't bear to leave them.

The clouds hold your hands now,

Give you the home we wait for.

Wait for me there,

I'll wait for you on the shore

[Guitar]

[???]

Stars hold your hands now,

Give you the home we wait for.

Wait for me there,

I'll wait for you on the shore.

Oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

The clouds hold your hands now,

Gave you the home we wait for,

Will you wait for me there,

If I wait for you on the shore?

Would you wait for me there,

If I waited on the shore?

This is the first song I've ever written. I wrote these lyrics in about 10 minutes during an emotional moment. I'd love honest feedback on the lyrics, storytelling, and overall feeling. I'm trying to improve as a songwriter.

[Verse 1]

Lost in a thought

Still figuring out what I did wrong

Too many thoughts can't control alone

Hope you would be here

I'm sorry I was wrong

But still can't figure out what I did wrong

[Chorus]

It's so dark in here

But everyone's eyes it brought daylight

Trapped in a room

It's so dark in here..

But everyone's eyes it brought daylight

[Verse 2]

Heart hold the pain

Mind know the cure

Battle begins again heart wins the game

Cure can't get but it's only the cure

It's getting darker and darker

But everyone's eyes it's still daylight

[Bridge]

I tried harder and harder to be my best for him it wasn't good

In the end trade with my light

So I'm now trapped in darker room

[Outro]

It's so dark in here

It's so dark in here

But everyone's eyes it brought daylight

Fall

There is no beauty to be seen here
Everything I do, everything I try
Ends up in a failure

My mental health declines
Telling myself I am useless
That everything I do is for nothing
Because I am not enough

I am not good enough to win
I am just good for the fall
The fall from reality

Trauma turned me to psychosis
Psychosis turned me into a sad little bitch
And this bitch went through hell
I am still alive

Don’t know how tho
So many attempts
But even in that I failed
They say its God’s will

He will save me
He feels my pain
Saves the damaged

But,
What if I am too damaged
To be saved
I looked for help in the wrong way
In the wrong people

And now I do not feel anything but pain
Pain comes but doesn’t go

I have never seriously tried to write a song, but I found this was the best form to express my feelings on the situation. Any thoughts?

Verse 1
Eyes open to visions of you
Caught in divisions of truth
Can’t tell if I’m dreaming still
Pinch me if any of this is real

Then you whispered, “Kiss me”
I can still taste the whiskey
Knew I’d come back for more
Picking you up off the floor

Rock bottom wasn’t lonely
When your arms would hold me
I ignored every warning sign
Bound by your grief and mine

Chorus
I can’t Just Pretend everything’s okay
(No pretending)
I can’t forget that day
You clung to me like Caramel
(Sickly sweet)
Had me under your spell
Now you’re the Specter over me
(Haunting me)
A restless vision set free
The pain falls down like Rain on us
(Washing me)
Turning ash to rust
Living with The Death of Peace of Mind
(Killing me)
Memories buried like landmines
Still can’t tell where we went wrong
(Questioning)
For what it’s worth, this is your song

Verse 2
Blinking away the memories of you
The first person I thought I knew
Shaken by recounting our sins
That’s when the nightmare begins

Never settled for the discount rack
Loved the marks you left on my back
So many ideas, so many plans
You’re not one to sit on your hands

It was easy to take the armor down
And I got high off every sound
Always likely to crash and burn
A lesson we’re still trying to learn

Chorus

Bridge
Did we ever let go of the past
Or were we too afraid to ask
Did we both fall for the ghosts
Of what we wanted the most

Was it real or was it lust
Was there ever enough trust
Can we ever really let go
Do we really want to know

I was ready for your worst
not for the bubble to burst

Final Chorus

TW: depression, drugs, suicide

------

Voice of an angel, soul of one too
Feels too much, lies 'cause she can't trust you
Say it'll get better, hasn't so far
Fades into the pain, fades away

-

Oh, it's getting late in the day
One last sunset for the brave
Before she leaves and flies away
One last sunset left to save

-

She hangs brightly, trying to reach Nirvana
No bang like Cobain, she fades away quietly

-

Statue on the edge of a balcony
Black moon at midnight, cold rain falling
She stares over the railing, longing
Rain washes away the tears she cries

-

Still for hours, shapes and lights move strangely
Mistook a shadow for her savior
Knows no one is coming to save her

-

Fading...

-

Pills fill her brain, sadness floats away
She didn't mean to, but now she can't move
Holding her hand up tryna touch the light
Breathing slows and lightens
She knows but doesn't fight

-

She hangs brightly, going to Nirvana
No bang like Cobain, she fades away in silence

-

Fell quiet, flew up to the sky
Turned into a new constellation
Simplify her into a lesson
Seven stars, only seven pieces of her person

-

Voice of an angel, gone too soon
Didn't even have a white lighter
Drawing in the night won't be bright enough
For them to remember her fire

-

Fading away...

-

She hangs brightly, flying in Nirvana
No bang like Cobain, she fades away
Soon as the dawn rise, she fades away...

Intro:

Kill the desolation that hides deep inside

Hollow frontier is everything i see because I'm...

Blinded by nostalgia and days of future past

Everything i feel is a paradox

Verse:

"Life is an illusion and an excuse to feel high"

Dear friend i engraved these words in my mind

You put me on this needle, we're both victims

I'm to blame for knowing you

Interlude:

I want to change everything in my life

Every sungle person I've ever met

I want to forget them, erase them from my head

To feel free and not live in a retrospect

Bridge:

Rotting forever, rotting like this

Grieving is a mark on a wishing list

Rotting forever, rotting like this

Grieving is a mark on a wishing list

Pre-breakdown:

I'd rather feel like shit

Than feel like a wothless slime

But the thing in my blood

Makes me feel like I'm both of these feelings

In a human form!

Breakdown:

Victim of silence and thoughts in my head

I hate you all, you stabbed me in the back

Victim of silence and thoughts in my head

I hate you all, you stabbed me in the back

Outro:

I'm out

Need some advices, non native speaker🥹

14 year old who wants to make music as a side hobby.

Most of this song just came to me and Its about what you feel when you first fall for someone. (the internal conflict of wanting someone)

Posting this here so I can work on my lyricism for future songs 🙌 This is my first finished song so please be brutally honest.

Maybe

[First-Verse]

Sunshine fighting through the rainfall

Myself fighting through the crowd, to get a sight of you

Just to walk away

Door swings open, heads turn

Your presence cuts through, eyes widen

I should look away

[Pre-Chorus]

But this picture that I’ve painted tells me that…

[Chorus]

Maybe I’ll just stay here for a while, I dont want to

A comfort that I’ve never felt, a smile, when I see you

Maybe all I needed was a simple conversation

A “hi” that ends with “bye”

I never thought that I would say this..

[Second-Verse]

You showed I belong,

without hesitation

I’m sorry, I can’t live up to your expectation

I hope that I’m wrong,

Ground my foot but I’m shaking

I just can’t seem to grasp the thought that,

This just might be mutual

I never thought that I would say this..

[Chorus]

Maybe I should stay here for a while, I don’t want to

A comfort that I’ve never felt, a smile, when I see you

[Post-Chorus]

And,

If you’re willing baby, *laugh* I mean, maybe we could try

I’ll act on what I’m feeling

I won’t overthink and pry

[Bridge]

You don’t have to be alone

You’re my only focus

I got time for you instead

Oh, I got time for you instead

And maybe, just maybe things coincide

Coincide for the both of us

I got time for you instead

Oh, got time for you instead

It can’t be, It can’t in my head

But these looks say otherwise

I got time for you instead

Oh, got time for you instead

[Third-Verse]

Crimson lips, it makes me feel so tired

A comfort that I’ve never felt a smile

A face that I had thought that I had made up in my mind,

I don’t wanna tell you why,

just take the “hi” and give a “bye”

[Breakdown]

No need to run, No rush to pass

A careless whisper, A careless smile,

I’ll write the wrongs, I wrote tonight,

To write these songs.. (for you)

Drop the act, and say the truth (Is it too hard?)

But I can’t lie, maybe my mind is changing

I just might be more adjacent,

to the fabricated version of you..

[Outro]

(Mmm..)

Baby can I stay here for a while? Still don’t want to…

(I know it’s weird for you..)

A comfort that I ought to feel, a smile (Just comply..)

I will call you..

(Atleast I hope to…)

Baby all I’m asking for, a simple conversation

I’ll say “hi”, will you say “bye”

A thought I never thought I needed..

Verse 1:

I cry myself to sleep

And I feel weak every week

I need help mentaly

But do I realy

'Cause what if the therapist's a man

Chorus:

Men scare me

And boys terrify me

And as much as I try to compete

I will never be

One of the girls.

Verse 2:

Where do I fit

Like a puzzle piece

Sliced and rearanged

Theres no place for me

Not here, not anywhere

Chorus:

Men scare me

And boys terrify me

And as much as I try to compete

I will never be

One of the girls

Bridge:

Even the girls don't want me

They use me for monney

I get made fun of for trying

My inner child that just wants some friends is still

Crying

How do i tell him

It's not happening

And that he'd slowly dieing

Chorus:

Women scare me

And girls terrify me

As much as I try to compete

I will never be

A true man.

Hey there, I am new to music and specifically songwriting. I’ve been doing a lot of it recently just for fun and for myself. I try to aim for something along the lines of old country storytelling music for the most part. I’ll post the lyrics of my favorite song below. Let me know what you guys think.
Thank you

Title: The Ghost that you Knew

You were good to me, better than most
Held my hand through the hell that I carried close
But I was deep in the bottle, lost in the flame
And you couldn’t fix what I wouldn’t name

I watched you break like a branch in the flood
With that look in your eyes like you’d given enough
You said, “I love you too much to stay and watch you drown,”
Then you turned and you walked like a laugh leaves a clown

Now it’s been ten years, I saw you today
Same slow smile, just a little more gray
You asked how I’m doing, I said, “I’m alright”
But the truth’s in my hands, and the shakes every night
You were the best thing I ever let go
And I’m just a ghost that you used to know

I got clean for a while, hell, maybe a year
But the nights got too quiet and the past too near
I still hear your voice in the hush of the rain
Sayin’ “you ain’t just broken — you’re hiding your pain”

I work part-time at the diner by 10
Write poems on napkins I’ll never send
You came in today like some song I forgot
And my heart damn near stopped right there on the spot

Now it’s been ten years, I saw you today
Same slow smile, just a little more gray
You asked how I’m doing, I said, “I’m alright”
But the truth’s in my hands, and the shakes every night
You were the best thing I ever let go
And I’m just a ghost that you used to know

I ain’t lookin’ for mercy, don’t need you to stay
Just needed to see you still walking that way
And know you got free from the mess I became
‘Cause I still carry love like a brand on my name

Yeah, it’s been ten years, but your shadow still stays
In the back of my mind and the songs that I play
You said I could shine, but I chose the dim light
Now I’m chasing the dawn through the wreckage of night
You were the truth in a world full of smoke
And I’m just a ghost that you used to know

You were good to me, better than most
Held on tight while I turned into smoke
I was neck-deep in bourbon, chasin’ the flame
And too damn proud to shoulder the blame

I saw you crack like a glass in the storm
You gave and gave ‘til your love was worn
You said, “I can’t watch you die while I’m standing by,”
Then you packed up the light and you told me goodbye

Now it’s been ten years, saw you today
Same bright eyes, just a little more grace
You asked how I’m doing, I said, “I’m alright”
But the truth’s in my bones, in the cold of the night
You were the best thing I ever ran through
And I’m just a ghost that you used to knew

I got clean for a while, maybe a year
Then the silence got loud and the dark reappeared
Still hear your laugh in a warm July wind
Still curse myself for the shape I was in

I’m working some job I don’t care much about
Writing songs just to sweat the poison out
Then today there you were like a prayer come true
And all I could say was, “How’s life been to you?”

Now it’s been ten years, saw you today
Same bright eyes, just a little more grace
You asked how I’m doing, I said, “I’m alright”
But the truth’s in my bones, in the cold of the night
You were the best thing I ever ran through
And I’m just a ghost that you used to knew

I’m not askin’ for mercy, don’t need you to stay
Just wanted to see if you still looked the same
You deserved a man who could hold the line
Not a bottle-fed fool with a wrecked-up mind

Yeah, it’s been ten years, but you still shine bright
Like the good I once held in the worst part of life
I gave up the fight when I let go of you
Now I haunt my own steps, ‘cause I know it was true
You were the light I could never walk to
And I’m just a ghost that you used to knew

I wrote it like a week ago and have been modifying it ever since.

I was inspired by Lemon Demon.

English isn't my first language, though I've learned it and I *think* I can speak it, I'm still not sure about how "natural" sounding my lyrics are (I have used a rhyme dictionary, but i tried to make them sound natural and get the point across).

Also, I think it works with the right bpm; I don't know anything about how to write actual melodies, but I think I will learn it in the future, at first i need to know whether my lyrics are good or not.

Anyways, here's "Clone Song" (Title Needed)

[Verse 1]

Once, I donated my bone,

They said it would give me a clone

It was really quick, I think

And then I heard my doorbell ring

There he was, just like my twin

But then I went and questioned him

[Pre-Chorus]

At first it was kinda lame

It seemed like we're the same

[Chorus 1]

But he doesn't know my darkest secret

Even though he has to know my secret

Still he doesn't know my darkest...

Is he even me?

[Verse 2]

I was made in a lab

Or some magic cab

The cloning worked, and I'm the clone

I came back home, before the dawn

I saw myself, without denial

And then he put me on his trial?!

[Pre-Chorus]

What was that? Some kind of game?

Like obviously, we're the same

[Chorus 2]

But he has a different darkest secret

Even though he has to have my secret

Still he has a different darkest...

Is he even me?

[Verse 3]

And so we talked and both found out

And now beetween us there's no doubt

That he is me, at least has been

But then the third one came in

[Pre-Chorus]

I was late, but when i came

I saw Them, and we were the same

[Chorus 3]

But these *guys* talk 'bout some darkest secret

Even though that i don't have a secret

Still they have some crazy darkest...

Are they even me?

Am I even Them?

[Post-Chorus]

They are not like me

And I am not like them

Seems to me, my clone

Has mind of his own

Hi! My lyrics often tend to be quite literal, or "on the nose" so to speak. I get a lot of feedback regarding this. While I do believe it is a valid stylistic choice, and not something I personally mind as a listener, I do want to improve my ability to "show, don't tell" (a concept I was not even aware of until I joined reddit, so thank you kind souls for helping me add valuable tools to my crayon box!)

I just finished this rough draft yesterday, but some of the lines have been simmering for while and have been heavily revised since I challenged myself to infuse more imagery into my songs. For example, the original opening line was "I come from a broken home, almost let it break my soul. My mom was crazy, my dad never met me, and I don't blame him, I don't blame him" (using the word "crazy" didn't sit right with me, so I got to slice 2 cakes with one knife here by infusing more imagery into my lyrics and also making sure my art aligns with my moral compass) "Murals on my face" was originally "bruises on my face" then "colors on my face". I think I like Murals? Not sure. That line needs a bit of reworking regardless due to syllable count.​

"Home Front" by Nixi Rae

Verse 1

I remember being 12 years old

Eggshells scrambling my soul

My mom heard voices

My dad never met me

And I don't blame him

But I had no one

Chorus

When I'd hear PTSD, I'd think that couldn't be me

that's the army

But I was a solider on the home

front Fighting battles

noone ever saw me

Yea I've got, I've got all this trauma

Still not sure where I where I belong

*Still working on the chorus, might flip the "PTSD" section and the "Trauma" section*

Verse 2

I remember being 6 years old

Life had lost all of its color

Kids on the playground

I'd hear them laughing

And I'd wonder why

I felt grey inside

Chorus

When I'd hear PTSD, I'd think that couldn't be me

that's the army

But I had memories stolen from me

I can never ever have em

Cause I missed out on all of my class photos

Murals on my face I couldn't showww

Verse 3

I remember being 5 years old

Watching flames dance on the stove

My cat had just died

Didn't quite know why

Just wanted to hold her

As I watched her burn

Chorus

When I'd hear PTSD, I'd think that couldn't be me

that's the army

But I was a solider on the home front

Fighting battles no one ever saw me

Now I've got I've got all this trauma

Still not sure where I where I belong

Verse 4

I remember being 3 years old

Feeling so scared and alone

yea I remember

Fell outta my highchair

I cried for comfort

She called me a jerk

Bridge

And only one person ever stood up for me

She lived above our place At Evergreen

When I'd hear PTSD I'd think that couldn't be me that's the army

But My mama coached me on what to say

And I didn't know any better

I was a soldier on the home front

Final Chorus

When I hear PTSD I know it applies to me

and I'm healing

Yes I am a solider on the home front

Writing ballads

Time to share my story

Yea I've got I've got all this trauma

But all my scars my scars are lined with silver

And I know now I deserved much better

Something I'm working on, how does it come across?

Bowed Concerto Number Four

[Verse 1]
All love is a heartstring problem,
this is my bowed concerto number four.
Enough on this electric piano,
Get me my cane and put that record on.

[Chorus]
Oh I want to dance with you
into twisted depths of evolution
and spirit
where I keep secrets I don't tell myself.

[Verse 2]
I never danced much with my wife,
didn't tell her how lonely it made me feel.
Oh no, I'm not much of a dancer myself,
it's for the joy of it, is all,

[Chorus]
that's why I want to dance with you
into twisted depths of evolution
and spirit
where I keep secrets I don't tell myself.

[Post chorus]
Now I'm running, jumping, sweeping over tall buildings,
you never told me you could fly, oh why,
Ulrike, you never told me you could fly...

[Bridge]
I used to dream of a third set of rotten teeth
pushing all the old ones out of my mouth,
and now there's stilt walking houses,
I'm sailing on a bicycle through the town,
an actual sail on it, see!
Is it wrong to be so lonely and feel so free?
Oh I'm such an old fool, I must sit down.

[Interlude]
We wasted life in happiness,
it haunts my memories.
From the darkened place I came out of
I will surely crawl right back -

[Chorus]
if only I had danced with you
into twisted depths of evolution
and spirit
and told you secrets I don't tell myself,
oh no,
secrets I've lost inside myself.

Verse 1

Since the day I opened my eyes,

I only wanted to love and stay by your side,

I trusted every hand I saw,

Never knowing what was coming after all.

Then they took me from my home,

I was frightened and alone,

I kept crying, I kept screaming,

Hoping someone would hear me.

Guys I created this lyrics about the dogs that are killed and eaten but some of my friend said to me I should find some other passion and let the music for someone else and I wanted to see what are your reaction about this I should continue or to do something else?

I've posted the demo as well https://www.reddit.com/r/Songwriting/s/Gu4gx0hXK6

[Verse 1]
Park by the clocktower,
walk through the town,
not past the flats
and the sandy path down,
straight to the seafront
the way that we did
when we were kids,
you and me.

[Chorus]
Sunshine, clear weather,
walk double yellows
to spare our bare feet.
Stop by the river,
something to eat.

[Verse 2]
Through the beach car park
down at the parade,
don't know if you knew that
our great uncle never paid -
he never bought a ticket
because the land was gifted
to the people of the parish.

[Bridge]
So breathe deep, take a look
at the river, arch, and the rock
much smaller from the storms,
the arch not yet a stack,
still like the oil painting
on the front room wall,
not so different at all,
like you and me.

[Chorus]
Sunshine, clear weather,
walk double yellows
to spare our bare feet.
Stop by the river,
something to eat.

Chasing a dragon…
Failing to grab him…
Faith you’d come back -
Crazier’s happened… sure

All that you promised…
Bought it for solace…
I’m paying for that n’… more

Time is all borrowed…
Finding it hollow…
You turned down a path-
That I couldn’t follow, yeah

Remorse is an arrow….
You’re in my marrow….
To feel like you’re here -
I talk to my shadows… yeah

I’ve been left alone, I still text your phone
Could you hit me back just once?

I’ve been left alone, i still text your phone
Hit me back just once

Opening curtains to dread…
Slowly returning to bed…
Nobodies perfect I guess…
You know how crazy you drove me -
I can’t reverse what i said…

Tried cutting you out my life -
Before all the hurting could spread

You’re not even here anymore -
Still get the last word in my head

I’ve been left alone, I still text your phone
Hit me back just once

I’ve been left alone, I pretend you’re home
Hit me back -
