Songs You've Written Yourself

[Scarlet Crystal]

Oh man. I can't not share this... I used to be so gaga for this guy. He ended up preferring dudes, which helped me move on... it's a kind of depressingly entertaining song though!

Anchor

I wish I knew
All the words that you wanna hear
But that’s something
I can never figure out

You and I, we
Never have to lie
Cause I know you
So well you’d fail

But there’s one thing
I can never tell you
There’s one thing
That weighs me down like an anchor
Drowning me
Drowning me
And that’s the one thing
I can never tell

So crazy I’ve been
Since you first came my way
But you just never
Knew about what I felt

Time’s gone by, and I
Fear I’ll lose you if I come clean
So I shut my mouth
Shut my eyes and sigh

Cause there’s one thing
I can never tell you
There’s one thing
That weighs me down like an anchor
Drowning me
Drowning me
And that’s the one thing
I can never tell

Each day I pray
Someone else will catch my eye
And make me change my mind
Each day I wait
For you to figure it all out
But what would you say?
What would you say?

Cause there’s one thing
I can never tell you
There’s one thing
That weighs me down like an anchor
Drowning me
Drowning me
And that’s the one thing
I can never tell

Just that one thing
I can never…

I wrote this song from the perspective of a fifteen year old girl (a character I've used in scripts). When originally posted I didn't use my name and tried to make it appear as though Lily was real to see the response. The opening and the song are in here:

--------------

I was looking through a drawer yesterday and came across this song I wrote as a junior. I think I was like, fourteen or so when it was written......Gah, whatever. Here it is for all to see (except who it's about!!)

There was this guy in French class, we had some history....that is all.

You think that life’s just a big ‘ole game
Baby baby you know that you’ve changed
But you keep telling me that you’re still the same
Yet you leave me wonderin’ if our love still remains

(Chorus)
Boy I don’t know what to do
Is it me or her or just us two
Cuz baby you better pick and choose
Cuz this team only has room for me and you
(Chorus)

Remember all the times that I cried
You came into my life, made it all worth while
There’s a reason why to me, the sun always shines
Cuz when you’re here with me I feel bright inside

You tell me what you want, sometimes ne te connais pas
Tell me if now is the right time, cuz the right time is to be with the one you love mon garcon
You always assured me, you’d be my security
My head on your shoulder, did you con and coerce me
I’m afraid if I choose you I’ll lose you
In the end, it’s always been about what you do

(Chorus)

Ooooh oooh, you’re takin’ your time, can’t make up your mind
Watching opportunities pass me by, reality setting in, you’re just a liar
Don’t want no more tears, don’t want no more fights
I’ll be the one making up your mind tonight

(Chorus)

Boy I now know what to do
It is you and her and not us two
Cuz baby I’m the one who gets to pick and choose
Cuz this girl ain’t crying no more tears, she’s so over you
