It seems that only in sadness
Can I truly confess
All my feelings of love, hate and fear
Because all I want is someone to hear
What I think, what I know
And all I want is a place to go
A peaceful sanctuary inside my head
Of words that aren’t always easily said.

A good song should be a diary in rhyme
For when you’ve so much emotion
You have to spill it onto lines
A good song should be told right from the heart
No more, no less
A good song should be written for passion
And not to impress
A good song should be the truth and nothing but…
A good song should be the words and feelings
You get in your gut.

I know when I need to talk in confidence
My pen and paper break my silence
I could write for hours, hours on end
I don’t need hugs or candy to mend
My broken heart, instead I always know
My pen and paper love me so
Then perhaps, maybe one day
Someone will love my songs, or so they say.

A good song should be a diary in rhyme
For when you’ve so much emotion
You have to spill it onto lines
A good song should be told right from the heart
No more, no less
A good song should be written for passion
And not to impress
A good song should be the truth and nothing but…
A good song should be the words and feelings
You get in your gut.

A song is a way to say
The words in my head in a different way
A song is my inside mind
Filled out across every line
I appreciate that they will never leave me
And I hope they will never let me be
Alone when I need a friend
Or a good song that can easily mend.
