can write lyrics, can't write music

by ClockworkCassandra

It happened again I tried to count to ten But this time it just didn’t work And now I’m in bed With these thoughts in my head About how you must think I’m a jerk How do I explain How I’m in so much pain When you’re hurting too I should just go to sleep But all I can think Is what do I say to you? I try to pretend But I’m crying to my friends On the phone to them every night And through the tears I yell While I’m asking ‘What the hell Must I do to set this right? How do I explain How I’m in so much pain When you’re hurting too I should just go to sleep But all I can think Is what do I say to you?’ They say give it time But I can’t control it And now I’m just repeating I’m sorry, I love you I’m sorry, I love you I’m sorry, I love you I love you Maybe now I realise I need to respect your disguise Or else I will lose you And so I’ll go to sleep Instead of trying to think About what I should say to you

Notes

poems are just the preface to songs, aren't they? or songs are an evolution of poetry
