You know, it's been so long
Since I last heard you tell me you loved me...
You know, it's been a while
Since you ever showed you cared for me...

I know you're trying
But I'm all tried out
I'm giving my all
And you've brushed me aside

I can't keep taking all this pain
And be a better lover
I can't take the strain
Of trying to be another

Chorus
I won't always be here
(Don't you understand)
To ease your pain
(Can't you understand)
I can't be the one
(Don't you understand)
That shields the rain
(Can't you understand)
You gotta be brave
And get on without me
For soon my time will come
I'm dying slowly inside
And I'll take you with me

You know you can't play hide and seek forever
What do I do to tell you
I'm not the one

Every single time you needed me
I was always here
But when I needed you the most
You were unaware

I try to explain my mistakes
Yet you never lend an ear
But when you do something I don't like
I give you my heart and more

I can't keep taking all this pain
And be a better lover
I can't take the strain
Of trying to be another

(Chorus)

You tell me you'll change
But I've heard the same story
I'm battered and bruised
And my blood hits the floor
I'm through with the mind games
I'm tired of dying
You know you've hurt me
And you know I'm crying
Everything you do
Is a stab with blunt knives
I gave you every chance
And you're out of extra lives

(Chorus 2x)

Still with me? Okay.

I wrote this a few months ago to ease my depression, and on of my friends in my band (The Chaos Breakers) dug it out of my backpack and read it and was like "...Holy SHIT, Kavi-kun, this would make a good song!" And at the time I was being a little emo, so I was just "Whatev." Eventually, we made it a song... unfortunately, I haven't ripped it onto my comp yet. However, I do have the lyrics. Enjoy, if you can, the sadness I faced (And still do).

Song Information:

Don't think its very good? You've got internal rhyming, stanza-length emphasis, repetition, all sortsa goodies.

Quit yer gripin' about your work. *bitchslaps* Its just as good as mine IF NOT BETTER, and you've got visual artwork: something I can't do. And writing has its limits: There's only so many words, and even then I can't use them to their potential; while visual art has no limits.

None. Thats why the Eyes are more powerful than the Ears.

And if you make some wise-ass comment about dogs having way better ears and noses than eyes...who's the dominant species around here?
