This song was fully-formed in my head this morning when I woke up. I got up, wrote down the words, and went back to sleep. Now I can't remember the tune (meh). Here's the basic idea of it though.
Some days, we don't talk at all
Perhaps a smile, a brush of hand
Is all I've come to expect.
It seems that you're different than you were,
The things you said, the things you did
Are disappearing fast.
Maybe I should stop trying to bring it back
Cause lately, all I see is what you lack
And then,
(Chorus)
I remember
When you said I was the sun.
I remember
When you said I was the only one.
I remember
Back to the days we used to
Laugh and dance and sing.
Yes, I remember
When you put your arm around my shoulder
I remember
When you said we'd be forever.
Whenever I want to fall apart,
I remember.
Some days I'm so mad that I could cry.
I wanted to save us, but now,
I can't remember why.
All my friends tell me to leave you
Cause if you aren't real and you can't show the world our love
Then it isn't love at all.
I look at the tattered of what we used to share
Why do I want back something that was never even there?
But then
(Chorus)
I know that I can't keep you.
But with these memories I can never leave you.
(Chorus)
End.
Not the best, but not the worst either.
Cool. Sigh. It also makes me think of my marriage that was. Do you play guitar? Keyboard? I write songs too (looks shamefaced). Maybe I should have the guts to post a lyric or two...
