serial romantic
Serial Romantic written: 24/03/21 challenge: address ur tendency to over romanticise rachel I have a tendency to over romanticise Live in the past and over analyse Focus on the memories, what could I have done differently? I’m a serial romantic inside my mind All these years of love got me desensitised You’d think that by now I’d recognise My flaws I see rom-coms as a how-to guide for love I think that being lonely is dangerous I hate my own company, that’s why I keep it reluctantly I’m a serial
australia
australia written: 12/3/21 challenge: write a song with a country name in it (also play ur goddamn guitar rachel) I know that you get home sick So I thought it was pretty strange behaviour That the first place you picked Was to up and move to Australia I know the timing wasn’t right Now you’re on the other side Of the world I know we missed our shot And that you’ve already moved on And that hurts But I hope you have fun And get what you wanted You only get this once So I know it’s beyond us Do y
Don't Let Me Fall
Don’t Let Me Fall I like the arch in your back The way your body moves when you laugh Each scar and every graze All the creases in your face Tell a story, I wanna hear them all Trying not to hold my breath Or the room will spin again Can’t stop floating away I’m lost in my mind But if you’ll take the time I’ll rest my feet on the ground Don’t let me fall, Or I won’t come home anymore Don’t let me fall Or I won’t come back at all I like the curve of your smile Sit with me and talk for a while Eac
Wasted Days
Wasted Days You, don’t have a musical bone in your body You, even when there’s nothing wrong you still say that you’re sorry You, when we dance in the kitchen you have two left feet As we fall to the floor, leave your coat at the door, I can’t take anymore, I need you So I’ll wait and I’ll wait for the day, That I can see you again. And I know that you live so far away, I miss all the stupid things that you like to say, I'm counting down the days ‘till I can see your face But they’re wasted days
Fool Me
Fool Me Turn my phone off, I need to concentrate Tell me you aren’t in a good place You want sympathy But you won’t get any from me And I have given so many chances For you to give me some answers Why won’t you make up your mind And let me live my life without you Fool me once and it’s shame on me I should’ve taken the chance to leave I won’t let you fool me again You speak lies like a second language I swear I can’t get a straight answer I won’t let you fool me again again again Turn the lights
unrequited
written 1/3/21 challenge: write about unrequited love lyrics: I’m in love with you Like you’re in love with her We’ve both got separate halves of our own hearts That we’ve lost I told you once, but you needed time I told you twice, so I guess you lied I’m fine I’m fine But if you looked at me the way you look at her I wouldn’t need anything else in the world I’ll move on with life With a hole in my chest With half of my heart Searching for the rest I confess I can’t make you in love with me I kn
love, i guess
written 25/2/21 challenge: write a lo-fi track in a day lyrics: It’s daunting, endless, Feeling so helpless Why does love sometimes feel like a punch in the gut? I’ve had enough For one lifetime That’s what it feels like Does it get better than this? I don’t regret giving all of myself to you And I can’t take it back if I wanted to You couldn’t give more than you could take from me You seem normal, familiar Didn’t consider That the third time Could be the right time Is there a right time to fall
