I have come to the realization that lyrics are extremely personal. No matter how hard you try to write lyrics that don't spill your heart out they only turn out good if you write from your heart. Thus is the reason that people think the lyrics they write are stupid. Your own life seems boring to yourself but to someone else it may be the most touching, amazing, indifferent, incredible, interesting, or boring thing to hear about. Most people don't want to share things they write because they might be afraid that people will make fun of them or be appalled at them or even be scared of them. But anyhow, a lyricist must be able to get over that and not care what anyone else thinks. Because they will respect you for doing something that they don't. So I have decided to put some lyrics that I wrote up today. Please tell me what you think. I think they sound way cool with the guitar line I made up too. So without further distraction, here is "Memories."(I know it is a stupid title, it is very stereo typical)
-verses-
I just remembered that time in the park
They said we'd get married
We said they were crazy
We had so much fun
I have never laughed harder
since that day

I couldn't believe it when you called me up
You called just to say hi
But I knew there was more then that
From the tone of your voice
I was concerned
I was so worried

I asked you what's wrong, you said there was nothing
I knew you were lying
But I just let it go
You told me you loved me
You told me you cared
You said just three words

-chorus-
I love you
I know you love me too
No one could do a thing
That would change that

-bridge-
But then he came along
And he stole you from me
I never even saw it coming
I just knew you acted differently
When he was around you and me
You weren't yourself

-new chorus-
I love you
I thought you loved me too
I guess there was someone
That could change you
(That changed your mind)

-ending verse-
I just remembered that time in the park
They said we'd get married
We said they were crazy
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know they're wrong

Please tell me if you have better names for it!
