His surrendered hands outstretched - grasping to hear a voice of direction, "DON'T LET ME FADE AWAY! SHOW ME A SIGN, THAT THIS IS ALL WORTH IT."
2 attempts at medical school admission and 2 failing MCAT scores, I'm facing a third admission attempt in the face, I'm resilient but how persistent am I to be?

PRE-CHORUS ::
Can you taste it? Can you taste it!? CAN YOU TASTE IT!?!?
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!

CHORUS ::
Tear me up inside! Treat me like the ones who hurt you!
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!
Never again! Will I ever trust your word!
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!
Clever deceiver! Leading me on like you did, then rejecting my every effort!
IS THIS BITTERSWEET?
Was this love ever sweet?"

VERSES 1, 2, & 3 ::
Tear me up inside, like you always do with your sweet demeanor. Unknown to me, this is the last time. Your intentions seemed clear, you shared your heart. Or was it false emotion?

Do you really see him in me!? Now the trust we had is gone. Everything you said is a lie, should I have expected this from you? Take my gift and burn it. I'm burning. Slow burning. You were the only one who ever listened.

The hardest part of this is knowing I lost what I convinced was love. I'm not bitter. Four later and still alone. My intentions were pure. Who can know yours.

LOW OUTRO CHORUS:
Now you tear me up inside. Accusing me, just as the one who hurt you. Never again will I ever trust your word. What is real? False portrayals and misguided intentions. Know that we were never sweet."

False Pretense

To everyone who never knew
Never knew I had a voice
A reason to be heard . .
To be silent no more!
I am royalty, born for such a time as this.
Silent screams no longer fill my lungs.

Just because I have the perfect life doesn't mean anything.
I've never felt so empty and alone.
The things in this life don't satisfy,
I've yet to find true love and the reason to live.
It's these scars I bear that make me human
No one will ever know my pain of existance

What's your reason? I'll tell you mine,
to live is to die!
To give and to sacrifice everything
True love will NEVER FAIL!
That's why I will never stop loving you.

This is more than a song about my love for you,
You're the reason I live, the reason I die.
Nothing compares to the treasure you are,
Taking me as I am, with all my shortcomings
You never cease to amaze me with your love.

GIVE ME ONE MORE REASON!
To live another day
      breathe another breath
             To know that you're mine . .

What's your reason? I'll tell you mine,
to live is to die!
To give and to sacrifice everything
True love will NEVER FAIL!
That's why I will never stop loving you.

Are you just another let down? Another promise?
       A disillusion of love?
Don't leave me stranded here,
I can't bear the thought of losing the
flame that keeps my heart burning
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me!
No one will ever know my pain of existence, except you.

GIVE ME ONE MORE REASON!
To live another day
      breathe another breath
             To know that you're mine . .

What's your reason? I'll tell you mine,
to live is to die!
To give and to sacrifice everything
True love will NEVER FAIL!
That's why I will never stop loving you.

Tell me all your reasons, I'll tell you mine.
to live is to die, to give and to sacrifice everything
            True love will never fail . .
            OUR LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL
You're the reason I'm alive!

Give me one more reason NOT to love you

Give me one more reason.
I've been sitting on this song for a while, probably since spring 2015 - finally looked at it again since I first wrote the song, decided to post it without making any changes. Hope you like it!
