Reason to Live

Hey, y'all! So here are some very simple lyrics I wrote to a very simple song in the middle of the night. Normally I despise over-cheesiness within myself, but I figure if I feel it, why not write it down? If you're reading this and you haven't already, please go read my other lyrics if you please and comment it up! I seriously need all the criticism I can manage. I've been really working a lot more on my own stuff, and once I can semi-master the art of guitarring, I plan on doing a little more than simply posting lyrics on this here blog and playing rough drafts of my songs on my front lawn. Thanks so much for all your support and love. Seriously, it means an incredible amount to me. Anyways, I'll quit rambling now.

Reason to Live

I've always been so scared of falling

But you lifted me right up

And I don't know how

And I don't know why I chose you

But you are reason enough

You make me want to stand up taller

Even though I've got height to spare

And my soul's a little lighter these days

Just knowing that you're there

And baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

I love the way you say those smart words

And how you always have something to teach me

You embody perfection

But you're never, ever, ever out of reach

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

I never could quite see tomorrow

But now every day is you

So, take my hand

And we'll keep on climbing higher

And just enjoy the view

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

If you were my reason to live

Have a good day, blog readers! :D

Goodbye

Hey guys! So it's been a VERY long time since I've written something that I actually want to post on here. In fact, I just took some of my old lyrics and tweaked them a bit and changed the key for this song. I guess I'm feeling uninspired lately.... or rather, I am feeling very inspired, I just don't know how to put my ideas eloquently into words. Lately everything I've written is cheesy garbage, but I guess I am an adolescent girl, and that is the tendency of my kind. I really want to do a lot more with my songwriting in the next few months, however. I've been working hard on the guitar, and I plan on learning the banjo and harmonica. Hopefully I can actually have some legit songs that are FINISHED and that I will actually let people hear before next semester. That is my goal, anyways.

Goodbye

The sun in my face

Pachuca Sunrise in my ear

I can't help but to think of you

But there's snow on the ground

And you've gone away, love

Tell me, did you ever love me at all?

Oh, ohhhh oh

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

I've said my goodbyes

But I didn't mean them

The unsaid words are screaming in my head

The silence from you

Makes my heart beat so heavy

Please, just say something

Tell me anything, baby

Oh, ohh, oh

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

The way your hand fit right in mine

The way we just lost track of time

The person I could be with you

Someone who always told the truth

The way we talked about the world

The way that you called me your girl

I always thought we'd never die.....

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

After all, fires make the prettiest skies

That's all. Definitely not my best work, but I felt like I should post something just to keep myself motivated. Whoever's reading this, thank you so much for your support. I don't know what I would do without my wonderful friends and family telling me that I'm not a total failure at life.
