Nothing Gold Can Stay (draft 1)

it's been forever since I've really written anything and followed through with it, but I would just like to say thank you to Kaitlyn for giving me the motivation to finish this

I was lost and hopeless then you came around
caught up in my problems, it's like you arrived just to solve them
we were like Bonni and Clyde, fearless kids without a care in the world
young and reckless, there was nothing stopping us
it felt like this was never gonna end
but I guess such unity was just too good to be
what happened to the days when we were everything?

[chorus]:
Reality welcomes me back with a punch in the face
the summer is over, but where are you?
I've come down from the highest high
and now here I am, I've hit the ground
I go to take on the world, but now I'm standing alone
So much for forever
I guess it's true what they say
that nothing gold can stay

Now the late nights and the good times start to get to me
how ever did I end up here? back where I began
as if everything we'd been through had only been a dream
I'll bring the chords if you bring the words
even though we try, we can't do this alone
although summer is over, I'm still here singing this verse
would it kill you to sing along?
for me?

[chorus]

and now again I stand alone in a crowded room
as we go our separate ways, as we take on the world, alone and far away
I still can't believe, as I sit here and just watch
watch the best thing I ever had fall apart before my eyes
I can't just let us slip away
and now we sit here awkwardly
like divorced people, without a trace of what we used to be
why did things need to end this way?
I'd kill if we could go back and live those days

[chorus]

Falling Down (draft 1)

So I guess I haven't been on here in forever and a day, mainly because I haven't been writing all that much cuz whenever I'm inspired to do so I have major writer's block. Well I dug this song that was mostly finished from like 4-5 months ago up and just added some stuff on and well here's my first post in MONTHS called Falling Down:

I don't know if you know this
But I know everything, in case you haven't heard
I can read your thoughts, I hear the things you say
when I'm nowhere to be found

Go ahead and walk away
and just leave me here all alone
for once I thought it was ment to be
but now I guess I'll just go home

[chorus]:
Why'd you have to go
and break down my walls
Why'd you have to make
every sign point to you
Why'd you have to make it seem
that I was the only one
Just to watch me be a fool
hope you enjoyed the show
thanks for humiliating me
for the whole world to see
knocked from the highest high
hope you stick around to watch
as we reach the climax of our story
this is me, falling down
hope you're happy now

So I guess I'll just keep smiling
even if there is no use
I'll still tell everyone I'm fine
even though they see right through

I guess this was never ment to be
I see now after all you put me through
and after watching my world fall apart
I wonder why I wasted so much time on you

[chorus]

You were supposed to be my getaway
the one to make things right
and now that all is said and done
I'm done with you tonight

[chorus]

Hungover Skies (draft 2)

Nothing like dark November skies
to bring me down
into this depressing state
I often long for those summer days
when it was just me an you
without a care in the world
what happened to that?
what happened to that?

Everything that we once had
just left us now
hear me scream it out
I often wonder if this is the end
all the good times and memories
just thrown away like that
do you even care?
did you ever care?

[chorus]:
Make it a point to
let the rain washyour spirits away
and I'll be the one to
still catch you everytime you fall
and I know you don't want it
but I just can't take it
I can't live through another week like this

I came over and stopped by your house
but you weren't home
I should have known
I'm losing all those feelings for you
as the days grow shorter
and nights move faster
is this really the end?
This can't be the end

[chorus]

This is all just a hangover
of everything we used to be
just like every other time before
but this time I'm leaving sober
I'm bursting through these clouds tonight
I don't care if you come with me
You can't hold me down forever

[chorus]

When I'm With You (1st draft)

wrote ths today. Could use some work in my opinion
When I'm With You-

Ya know I'm not the kind of girl to fall for anyone
and while I don't believe in love at first sight
it was like a flash
my whole life fell out of control
you came into my life
when I needed you the most
and I know that we just met
but man you're just so perfect
it's like you picked up all the pieces of my broken heart
and gave me the chance to go back to the start
Oh--

[chorus]
Cuz When I'm with you
it's like nothing really matters
and he's just a distant memory
and I think you know that it's true
someday we're gonna live it up
I can see us being best of friends
You brought me back to life
you showed me that there's still
liht at the end of the tunnel tonight
So don't go
you make everything feel so right
When I'm with you

You know this time I think i'm really moving on this time
Even if I haven't got your number yet
You are truely the boy of my dreams
I just gotta wait and take it slow
cuz you're the one I want, now I know
You put truth in the hopeful les I'd tell myself
Meeting you this year was a dream come true
oh---

[chorus]

Boy you make me want you
oh so bad it hurts
You exceed everything
that he never was
You've opened my eyes
I'm finally free
You have no idea
just how much you mean to me

[chorus]

Emma (draft 2)

This is the latest song I've written, which concludes all the ones I have finished so far I'm working on some other ones though that are almost done. The song is called Emma

Well hey there Emma
tell me how have you been?
hope you're having fun
stealing everything from me
Well please excuse me now
while I let all your so-called secrets out

Hey Cameron
haven't heard from you in weeks
I see you don't even know me, anymore
Tell me why do you waste your time with her?
When she's so fake
I know you won't believe me
but she's just a box full of lies
wrapped in preppy little bows
and an overdone smile
She pulled you in, and you fell for her hard
but you don't even have a clue
she may seem so perfect on the outside
but I know what she thinks of you

Can't you see she's using you
don't you see when she lies to you
she smiles at you as she walks by
then goes on talkin her smack

[chorus]:
Her name is Emma
and she just a bunch of lies
you think she's so innocent
but i see it in her eyes
She's got you wrapped around her finger
yeah she's one of those girls
she'll blow you off just like all the rest
leaving you depressed as she moves onto the next
oh why can't you just see
I'm the one you want, yeah
I'm the one you need
but I guess you'll never learn
oh, no you'll never learn

Hey Emma
I see through all your lies
the guilt in your voice is a dead give away
and the way you can't make eye contact
You're just so obvious
how is he so oblivious?
I know your tricks, don't rub them in
go out and have your fun
but I swear, I'll get him in the end
guess no one ever told you that liars never win

Well if you look real close
boy, it's not that hard to see
she'll take ovver your life
so there's nothing there for me
then as she leaves with your heart on her sleeve
it's like you don't mean anything
she'll go tell her friends everything
she'll talk behind your back
and still you just don't see
and that's what keeps her coming
boy, run while you still can

Well can't you see she's using you
don't you see the way she's so two faced
guess that makes her just like you
I guess you were meant to be after all

[chorus]

and you know she's just so jaded
if she'd really go back to you
after the way you cheated her
and you know she's just so jaded
'cuz she's just, like, you

Her name is Emma
you used her long ago
you thought you'd get her best friend
what does she see in you?
She was just a pawn in your game
and now she's back to do the same
oh I guess you'll never see
If love was a game, dude
you were drunk all the way
but since you and I are through now
guess I'll leave her here with you

His name is Cameron
and he thinks she's so perfect
when she's nothing but a time bomb
waiting perfectly intact
He thinks shes here to solve his problems
while she goes creating more
I'll let him go remake all his same mistakes
oh why can't he just see?
I'm the one he wants, yeah
I'm the one he needs
but I know he'll never learn
oh, no he'll never learn
you will never learn

Love Sucks (draft 2)

Love Sucks

How could you say all those things to my face?
Oh all the false hope you'd assure me was right
For once in my life I'd thought maybe
I'd finally found someone real
someone who I could tell my problems to
someone who would always be there
but now the smoke's starting to clear
and I can see the only problem I've got is you
Is you
whoa

[Chorus]:
How did I fall in so deep,
when you're so shallow
Why are you the only one I see,
when you don't give a damn 'bout me
How do you always seem so sincere
when you don't even care if I'm gone
You're nothing but a bunch of lies
You're not worth my time anymore
but still, why are you my only one?
Why do I waste myself on you?
Why are you so frikkn selfish?
What do I see in you?

I always gave you everything
and all I got were your drama and your lies
You could always look me in the eye
and still never listen to what I had to say
it's all so jaded
you're so jaded
Now you really did it this time
I'm just done with you
There's no way that we'll make it through
this time, this time
Stupid boy, you'll never be mine
I've come to finally accept it
Now you're gone, soon everything will be fine
Just fine
whoa

[chorus]

You're nothing but a dirty little lie
just go home now, I've had enough
I'll spit on your shoes
as you walk out the door
Just go away and leave me here
while you go off with some dumb whore
Maybe she'll be as fake as you
I'll force myself to just move on
if it's the last thing I do
Cuz I would rather die right now
than waste more time on you
On you
whoa

[chorus]

So I'm letting you go now
Love sucks, I've had enough of this
maybe someday, when I finally move on
I'll see you all alone at an all time low
and then I'll have to laugh
Stupi boy, you'll never learn

Mr. Bipolar (draft 3)

Don't diss the title :P

Seems I don't even know you, anymore
You always say you care
but when I look, you're never there
and then I know you're off with her

When we talk, you always seem so sincere
you always make me feel special even when I know I'm not
I never get why it's always on and off with you
one day we're best friends
the next it seems you hate me
And I know this is all in my head
and I know we always make it through
but I'm sick of your crap
it's all so jaded
and I love you
but you feel so faded
It's not like you're unpredictable
and it's not like its the first time
and still I always fall for you
Everytime

[chorus]:
Why is it so hard just to talk to you?
and why won't you answer my calls?
You say things are cool with me and you
But you never listen when I need you most
and I've had enough
(i just can't take it)
this's getting too rough
(why do I care?)
You make me wanna scream
(I'm so pathetic)
can you please just tell me why?
Guess it all just depends on the week

It's like everything you said
never meant anything at all
the ones that made me experience love
for the first time
It seems you never pick up
half the time I call
If you really cared
as much as you say
maybe you'd at least say bye
as I walk away
You say you miss our talks
well if thats so, why is it that
I'm the only one who ever makes the effort to call
You're such a hippacrite
why can't I just let you go?

[chorus]

You know I suck at revenge
and I could never stay made at you
but you've pissed me off time and again
I'm sick of all you're tricks
why can't you just be mine?

[chorus]
