đnot the prompt I just wrote a song and needed a excuse to post it đ
My oh my
I could be drowning in sorrows
But every time I see her body like a model
I forget all about the bottles
Our tongues can write many novels
Let the body do all the talking
I donât mind
Signed notes that Iâve wrote a lot of
Being friends is not enough
Because I feel empty without your love
Crack a smile when your name pops up
On my phone
You are my home
Huh baby tell me the word
In my opinion youâre bad but we can do worse
In my opinion youâre too bad to let the candle burn
In my opinion the body can speak we donât need words
Just sit and vibe with me
I can have you flying high
Seeing your greatest fantasy
You see the stars a line every time our eyes meet
Drowning in bottles or sorrows
It doesnât matter when Iâm With my model
Our tongues can write many novels
And thatâs our motto
Iâll be ok when Iâm with my model
And thatâs my motto
Uh
I feel like I need another round
Of your love
You ainât see that coming
But I canât get enough
I mean you could hold me down
But pick me up off the ground
Never let me drown
You could never let me down
Every queen needs a kings crown
So watcha say
Ok that was a little cliché
But itâs too late
You got a monopoly
Because you own everything in my heart
You own all my heart
Even when weâre apart
You own all my you own all my
You own all my heart
You own all my
Duh dum duh dum
Drowning in sorrows and bottles
It doesnât matter when Iâm With my model
Our tongues can write many novels
And thatâs our motto
Everything comes crashing down
But Iâll be ok when im with my model
Though the seasons change I still love You
My heart only grows As we fade apart Growing closer each time
Can you feel it too? My heart reaching for you? Oh! The beauty of our shared pain and love
Although the sun sets and rises Although the leaves fall and ice covers the Earth For as long as I live
Even though the world still spins The people growing more wicked We have each other, dear
You are mine And I am yours
Hear me! You are EVERYTHING My breath; the beat of my heartâthe blood in my veins
Hot tears in a cold night The warmth in buttery bread ForeverâŠI shall love you forever
Even when I am old and sickly Even in death We shall always find each other in those different lives
Always
Inspired by Ashita Kuru Hi, the song Iâm listening to repeatedly and singing my heart out on. The anime (Kobato)is so beautifulâthe message. Watch the anime and listen to the song. Youâll cry and your faith in humanity will be restored. Itâs an oldie, but thatâs how I like it.
Love you all. Imma sing now.
I wake up in the morning hoping to hear from you, but itâs only my momâs voice telling me to halt. Always finding you at the right place but wrong time and even though I canât stop thinking about you something doesnât feel right. I want to call you but seeing your name causes a war of butterflies and im scared for the ride. As my sleep paralysis are keeping my up, wish I could blame it on you, but know itâs my fault as much.
(based on taylor swiftâs begin again)
Iâm in my room getting ready to go So nervous youâll be just like the last I smile in the mirror, put my high heels on Try to focus on now, not the past
Headphones in, I try so hard Just to keep my mind on the walk Not my fear that youâll hurt me just the same From the moment we start to talk
I enter the cafĂ© to the ring of a bell Expecting to find my own seat Then I hear my name as you stand and wave You say, âIâm so glad we get to meetâ
âI havenât ordered yet, what would you like?â Your voice is sweet and kind I blush, though itâs common courtesy âOh anythingâs fine, I donât mindâ
So you get me earl grey, I smile in surprise Already you know me so well But does your kindness now only cloak the bad? I guess only time will tell
Time starts to pass, weâre growing close Iâm starting to trust you much more I invite you to visit my humble abode Not long later you knock on my door
I show you around, you gasp in delight As you see my prized record wall âIâve never seen this much James Taylor before Now Iâm really starting to fallâ
I laugh at your jokes, you laugh at mine That really makes me smile He never thought I was funny And I havenât laughed in a while
I walk you to your car, heart in my throat His name on the tip of my tongue Then you start to talk about cute family traditions Youâve followed since you were young
And finally, all at once it seems Heâs left my mind for good Now I have you, thatâs all I need Iâm with someone who loves me how he should
Just a month ago I told myself Love wasnât worth it in the end But then I took a chance on you And my life began again
(based on taylor swiftâs cornelia street)
Tonight we drank ourselves silly I saw you nearly stumble and fall Yet I know this giddy feeling Is not from the drinks at all
I tell the driver to drop us off At my apartment, tout de suite Itâs beautiful, painted rosy pink On the lovely Cornelia Street
You stay the night, we have a good time But our heads hurt when we wake I desperately search for lyrics to write As you make us tea to soothe the ache
Months and months go by And how I love you so But do you love me like I love you? How am I to know?
Suddenly I worry you donât feel the same I leave the apartment behind Iâve never had someone truly care Even when they seemed sweet and kind
Iâm driving away when I get your call You tell me you love me, you ask me to stay I turn the car around, come right back home I didnât really want to go anyway
Years have passed now, weâre doinâ great Weâve found a place in this world we fit One day we come back to this beautiful home And it hasnât changed a bit
I love you so much my heart might explode Iâm so glad we got to meet But if I ever lose you like I did the others Iâll never again walk our street
What is a favorite song. Well its a memory, a feeling, a laugh, a love, anything you wish it to be. I have a lot of favorite songs. They all mean something different. For example stand tall from the Julie and The Phantoms soundtrack. Itâs one of my favorites because I can feel the moment that it happens in the show. Also the lyrics mean things to me. The lyric that stands out the most to me is Whatever happens Even if I'm the last standing I'ma stand tall I'ma stand tall Whatever happens Even when everything's down I'ma stand tall I'ma stand tall I gotta keep on dreaming 'Cause I gotta catch that feeling Whatever happens Even if I'm the last standing I'ma stand tall I'ma stand tall
To me they mean that I can do what i can or what i want i just have to keep trying even if Iâm alone along the way. Songs can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Being a musician the music hits me different. I donât know if that is for every musician but it dose to me. I have a lot of favorite songs but most of them mean everything to me. They mean that to me because no one can take my music away from me.
Meg was entranced by the market stall, which was festooned with wonderful colourful things. There was such a lot to choose from. She reached into the pocket of her yellow and pink cotton shorts for her holiday money and held up a coin to the woman on the stall. Meg pointed to a multicoloured stripey hat with lots of tassels. Meg handed over her coin and the woman gave her the hat.
âáœÎșÏÏÏÎżÏ Ï ÏΔÏÎčÏÎșΔλίΎΔÏ,â said the woman.
Meg, had not yet learned to speak Greek so she smiled and put the hat in her knapsack and went to the harbour. Meg tried on the hat, but it didnât fit. The tassels were all wrong and the opening for her head was a strange shape. Meg was disappointed, but she was sure sheâd work out a use for it. She loved the bright colours.
Just then a large ginger cat came and brushed against her arm in that way that cats do when they want attention.
âMaybe it will fit you,â said Meg to the cat, âThis would be a wonderful coat for a cat.â
She stroked the cat and tried to fit the coat. At first the cat didnât seem to mind, but the coat didnât fit the cat very well and there were tassels flopping all over the place. The cat wriggled out of the coat and walked away down the harbour wall with its tail in the air.
âOh well,â thought Meg, âperhaps it will fit that little sausage dog over there. I bet this would be a wonderful coat for a sausage dog.â
She tickled the little dog under its pointy chin and tried to fit the coat. At first the little dog didnât seem to mind, but the coat just got into knots and the tassels tangled around the dog's short legs. The dog yapped and wriggled out of the coat and ran away with its little tail between its legs.
Meg was a bit disappointed and decided to go home. She put the hat-coat-thing back in her knapsack.
On the way home Meg met an old fisherman who had a basket tied onto his motor scooter. Wriggling about in the basket was a large octopus. Meg asked about the octopus. âMy dinner,â said the fisherman, smiling. âPlease can I have it?â said Meg, wanting to set it free. She held up her last coin. The fisherman was a kind man and he shrugged and waved away the coin. He wrestled the octopus into Megâs knapsack.
Meg went down to the beach intending to set the octopus free. The octopus wriggled and squiggled in her knapsack. She opened her knapsack and was amazed to see that the octopus had wriggled its way into the hat-coat-thing. Each of its tentacles filled a tassel and the opening fit the octopus perfectly. The octopus looked happy. It flibbled out of the knapsack and set off down the beach, resplendent in its multi-coloured octopus trousers.
I walked down the street trying to keep my head low. âNo regrets,â I told myself. It was getting dark. I had almost two hundred dollars in cash, but I was no where near enough delusional to believe that I would be able to find a hotel room for near that cheap. Not in this city. I noticed an alley with a stack of boxes. I turned and tried to decide what to do. Should I hunker down here? Or see if I could find a park bench somewhere? Suddenly I heard a noise behind me. Then a rough voice, âWell, what we got here?â I turned around to see a gang of punks glowering at me. âHey kid,â the leader said, âdonât you know that thereâs a toll?â âI didnât realize that you had to pay a toll to stand in an alley.â âWell, not just any alley. But youâre in our territory now,â he looked me over. âOf course if you donât have any cash, then there may be some other way you can pay us.â On instinct I grabbed a glass bottle and smashed it on the dumpster. âSo thatâs how itâs gonna be huh?â He asked grinning. âFine then, letâs go,â he pulled a switch blade out of his pocket.

I sat against the wall with my head buried in my arms, trying not to look at all the blood. And there was just so much of it. Never had I thought that Iâd be able to do something so horrible. âWell Damn.â I looked up to see a gruff man looking at the bodies littering the alley. All I could think to say was, âI-I didnât mean to.â âFor some reason I feel as though the authorities would beg to differ.â My head was spinning. I couldnât be handed in, I would just be carted back to my dad and I could NOT let that happen. âPlease- donât...â He looked at me for a moment before letting out a side splitting laugh, âAnd waste this golden opportunity? No way.â He extended a hand to me, âHowâs about you come with me kid?â I was baffled, âWhat?â âListen, that thing that used to be a person over there,â he pointed in a direction that I would rather not to look at, âthat was my mark, but you saved me the trouble of taking care of him. Youâve got some skills, I wouldnât want them to go to waste in jail.â âAnd if I say no?â He sighed, âListen, youâre young, dumb, and Iâm guessing pretty strapped for cash. Iâm your best bet.â âActually, I was just headed to my auntâs house-â âThereâs also a cop car parked just down the street.â âIâm coming with you,â I decided. He grinned, âThatâs the spirit.â No regrets, I thought.
Thereâs a song called Youngblood by 5 Seconds Of Summer. Every time I here this song I think about my ex boyfriend. I feel like I still miss him and it hurts. But I also know he was never good for me. We dated for two years and we broke up a couple months ago I think in like March. We started talking again around May I think we talk for about two weeks than I never heard from him. I found out that he block me and I will never find out the reason. The other day at Walmart I saw him it kinda felt like we made eye contact but I have no idea if he saw me. When I saw him he was with Iâm assuming his girlfriend and her kid. The girl he was with is the girl I think he cheated on me with. But when we started talking he said he didnât but that girl ended up moving in with him after me and him broke up. So I think Iâm right and he did cheat because she was trying to get with him when we were together. Like I said we dated for two years it wasnât a bad relationship but it wasnât good ethier we both had things we need to work on. But we dated for two years I miss him how could I not because we had bad times but we also had good times. I always thought we were made for each other because we have broken up 7 times and we always got back together except for this last time. So how this song reminds me of him is the lyrics in it like the first part is âRemember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by nameâ We both told each other that we love each other until we died but look at us now weâre not together so guess that was a lie. He even bought me a promise ring during Christmas on are two year anniversary so maybe thatâs why I have trust issues because everyone like him that I know just break promises. I have really bad trust issues and I want a relationship like these are holidays people get all cute and crap and Iâm just alone. But I also like being alone because I donât have to deal with the stress and worrying about if that person is staying loyal. Finding someone who is loyal is rare so if you find that person keep that person forever. I still miss my ex and I know Iâm going to for awhile until I find someone who will give me the same love back that I give them.
