I should’ve been an actress
I should’ve been a star
I could do something with my life
I could’ve gone far
I could’ve gone places
But instead I stayed
‘Because I’m just a coward
I’m a loser I’m afraid yeah

Sometimes I have this urge to just get away from here
Get out of this small town because it’s stopping me from breathing
A feeling so strong that it physically hurts
And other times I’m petrified of ever leaving
What am I supposed to do with my life?
Could someone please send me a sign?
I don’t know what I’m doing
I need some help
But no one can tell me
No one but myself

I should’ve been a princess
I could’ve been a queen
I could’ve been a hero
Or at least something in between
I could’ve been somebody
I could’ve made it big
I should be standing in the spotlight
But instead, instead
I’m sitting here at my out of tune piano
Trying to think up the right words
But I’ve got no inspiration
And I don’t know which way to turn

I should’ve sought adventure
I should be a millionaire
I could’ve been someone’s role model
But I’ll never go anywhere
I should’ve been a princess
I should’ve been a star
If I had thought of it sooner
I could’ve gone far
But no no no, no no no, no no no

Sometimes I just feel the urge to be anywhere but here
I want to spread my wings and fly
All I can think is “get me out of here”
And other times the thought of leaving makes me cry
And these tears, they’re real
These words, I mean them
I can’t, see what, I’m supposed to do
What’s my destiny?

I should’ve been a princess
I should’ve been a star
I should be, I should be
I should’ve been a princess
I should’ve been a star
But instead I’m right here dreaming of what I’ll never be

If I die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river, at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song

Wow! this is incredible. I could just feel the frustration and regret of the character expressed in this song. I give an A+. Since you are so good at writing lyrics, you should check out my new club and consider joining it. I think you will like it and we could learn from each other! the name of the club is call, Operation: Music, I think it is a great place for you!

Run and tell that! .... Home boy!

This is great!

And I know what this kind of thing feels like... like, you constantly feel useless; because you aren't famous, so nobody can ever be proud of you...? In that sense, I could definately feel anger in this.
I THINK I can imagine singing along to this... sort of. I know that it can relate to how I used to think!

I like this...
But remember.. Fame isn't everything

I want to play a game.

Great lyrics. maybe because it's easy to relate to. Especially when you're some or other type of artist. I wish I could here you perform the song. Great stuff.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!
It feels good to know that people can relate to my lyrics.
Bunty6, I joined your club, thanks for inviting me
Emmzziee, thankyou, fame isn't everything. you actually gave me an idea for another song! haha
sherineahmed, it doesn't matter if it doesn't rhyme, songs don't always have to. and hero just fits better in the song. and anyway, isn't it a bit like actors and actresses? girls can be called actors.

Thanks everyone

If I die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river, at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song
