Hello?

Is this really you?

I wish I could come up with a good excuse

To see you once again

/

Old friend, how's it going there?

I blew out my candles to hear your voice again

Again and again

/

I know that it's in the past

But I can't bring back the words

That we would last, and I can't move on

No I couldn't

/

Tell me how I could feel

Show me how it should feel

After you,

Split in two

/

No matter what I do

I could not see myself living without you

Day after day

/

But life threw it in my face

Every time I get up and see your name engraved,

I don't want to believe, but I have to.

/

Tell me how I could feel

Show me how it should feel

After you,

Split in two

/

Tell me this is not real

Show me how it should feel

After you,

Split in two

/

I know I can't bring back the past no

I know I can't bring you back again, again and again

I know I should move on but I can't,

I know although I should help myself glue back my back and soul one by one.

I know I can't bring back the past no

I know I can't bring back the past no

Again and again

/

Hello?

Is this really you?

I wish I could come up with a good excuse

To see you once again, and I can’t move on.

Whoa. Awesome lyrics. This one has to be my fave lyrics you've written so far. I love you lyrical style. Very raw and in-your-face with the emotions, you know? Again, I wish you lots of success. You have great talent here my friend.

Hello!

First of all before I review I am super exited to read this.

I loved the way this was written. It tells a very clear story to me. I would love to hear this if

someone were to sing it. The only thing that kinda bothered me was how short it was but that's

just me. My favorite lyric was when you said "I blew out my candles to hear your voice again"

Overall this was amazing i hope you keep writing beautiful stuff like this.

Bye, Have a nice day!

Thank you so much! Hopefully in the song the shortness will due justice along with the music, here's the link :)

Hey! Its Ever here!

I love this song. It flowed extremely well, and the lyrics made sense. If you ever record it, be sure to put it on YouTube so I can listen.

There was a bit of confusion trying to figure out what part of a song the lyrics were. So maybe you could label them Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, and such.

I think you should repeat the Chorus after the Bridge, just because that's really standard song format. I mean, you don't have to but it would make me feel better.

Also, I felt like this read a lot like Adele's songs "Hello" and "Someone Like You". If you don't want people thinking about that while they read, then either come up with a catchy melody, or revise a few words :)

This was a pleasure to read, and I hope you have a good day.

Ever

Thank you so much! Here's the link to the song :) Hopefully it'll make more sense. It's just a demo but it gets the point across

This is absolutely beautiful. Filled with wonder and confusion. I can sense it is about a relationship, although its a little hard to put the lyrics into music. But you probably have something that you could put it to. This is a very depressing relation if it is about one. Maybe some background or more about this story would really help. But it is amazing. Keep on writing you have a real talent.

Thank you so much! Here's the link to the song :) Hopefully it'll make more sense. It's just a demo but it gets the point across

nice work this is great and I wish I could think of something this good. I love how you have a good theme that is easy to understand and to follow. its a little hard to put into music but I sure you had something that you could put it to. I must mention how depressing this feels to me and how much I was wondering the full story. Frame you can not stop make more you are very talented and will be able to improve to a master at writing lyrics id give you more if I could a round of applause, a hug (though that might be weird), or if I was some kind of recording studio a contract because your awesome. please shoot for the stars and if you do good luck.

Thank you so much! Here's the link to the song :) Hopefully it'll make more sense. It's just a demo but it gets the point across

Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
