untitled

an old feeble attempt at songwriting...
i think i wrote this about four or five years ago?
i can't even remember.
still needs a title...
and a melody.


I’ll do what it takes
Keep myself from falling
I’ve made my mistakes
Paid more than my dues

So why am I here?
I’m back where I started
My fears settle in
As I’m reaching for you

Chorus 1:
Build me up, knock me down
It’s what you do best
Take my heart, shatter it
Then leave me a mess
This trap that you’ve set
Is so brilliantly planned
I’m running and running
But I can’t escape. . . you

You said that you meant it
I foolishly believed you
I should’ve known better
But you make me so weak

Now I’m tossing and turning
Thoughts keep me from sleeping
So I stare at the ceiling
Stay up waiting for you

Bridge:
You don’t
know what you do to me
Take a
closer look, notice me

Slow down
Realize what you’ve done
Please don’t
Wait ‘til I’m gone


I’m saying goodbye
‘Cuz it’s now or never
I did more than try
I gave it my all
Head out the door
Slowly I leave you
You know that I care,
But I can’t take anymore

Chorus 2:
Lift me up, tear me down
It’s what you do best
You took my heart, ripped it up
Worse than the rest
The trap you had set
Was so brilliantly planned
But you bruised me, you broke me
So now, I’m leaving you.
