a first attempt

A good friend had asked me to write lyrics for a new song for her band. The storyline is basically about a person who's tired of people who only treat her right when they need or want something from her. When they have already gotten what they had asked for, they leave and forget. Like taking that person for granted. Please please let me know what you think. Critic all you want, constructive critiscms don't hurt. Jgn destructive pulak tau. Pity me please :)


Tell me what am I to you
A friend in need or just another face in the crowd
I think I should have kept a quiet mouth
What's the point of talking at all
When you don't hear me out
Too tired to speak, too tired to think
You're wearing me down

Every day the scenario's the same
Perfect smiles from perfect people
Kisses on the cheeks oh so supple
Like the apples in Eve's garden
But how about them hearts?
Never more sneakier than snakes
That I learned the hard way

Chorus
You think you know me but you don't really do
You think you know me but really, you don't have a clue
You seek only perfection
Hey open up your eyes; see the things your heart won't let you see
See me, see you, see the space between
I'm tired of this dance we do
Wrap it up or you might just see the end of it soon

Don't you feel tired?
Of putting people down
Haven't you had enough?
Of pushing me around
Didn't listen to Joni Mitchell did ya?
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
You've been lucky all your life
But hold on tight,
Cause that luck might just run out

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Like a burst bubble I leave no mark
That's how I am
When ridiculed by you
Putting on a mask as I go
Throughout this life that I'm never sure
Help me out here
Should you go or should you stay
I'm not just a ragdoll you can play

Repeat chorus


p.s: This is a first attempt! I repeat, a first attempt! Mane tau bila dah hbs baca, korg gelak terbahak-bahak :/

wonder how the song sounds like though.

especially
"Hey open up your eyes; see the things your heart won't let you see
See me, see you, see the space between
I'm tired of this dance we do
Wrap it up or you might just see the end of it soon"
