Oh finally,
You’re paying attention, to me
Thanks for the niceties
Twenty-eight hundred days late

Are you going to say sorry?
For making me wish
That it could be better
I wrote you that letter
That you continued to ignore
I just wanted you back
Cause you bring out the best in me

Vain
We’re both so vain…
It’s even my middle name
I’m selfish
I’m sorry
You’re worth it
I’m lonely
Just come back to me
And this time I’ll keep
My promise

What is this thing?
They call, a dream
You make the heavenly angels sing
But I think it’s much more,
Than just this

Vain
We’re both so vain…
It’s even my middle name
I’m selfish
I’m sorry
You’re worth it
I’m lonely
Just come back to me
And this time I’ll keep
My promise

I don’t know right
From wrong…
Or left from right…
Just be patient
Please, baby
I will make it right
This time

Vain
We’re both so vain…
It’s even my middle name
I’m selfish
I’m sorry
You’re worth it
I’m lonely
Just come back to me
And this time I’ll keep
My promise….

Vain
We’re both so vain…
It’s even my middle name
I’m selfish
I’m sorry
You’re worth it
I’m lonely
Just come back to me
And this time I’ll keep
My promise

I will keep my promise…..
We’re vain
Let’s try it over….
Let’s just start over….
We’re both so vain
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Hello, I am glad to critt this first. To be honest since I am a boy I don't get these lyrics at all. Beacuse lots of girls write these things, boys barly do so. I kined of got confused beacuse on some lines you told him to come back, but on other you told him that you hate him. I most say I do so like this one:

Vain
We’re both so vain…
It’s even my middle name -------Here you should say: It was born to be my name
I’m selfish
I’m sorry
You’re worth it
I’m lonely
Just come back to me
And this time I’ll keep
My promise

I don’t know right
From wrong…
Or left from right…
Just be patient
Please, baby
I will make it right
This time ---------I think this time is not really a good ending. I think maybe you should say: I swear, I promise.
Blood is red
But Heaven is blue
The Devil will fined out
And take you

I really liked this, and it has meaning to it, unlike some lyrics that I've seen. I actually sang this out loud, and it sounded good. haha. I love to write songs, so I really enjoyed this. :]
