Not a Love Song

I have something else to show you. Normally I don't blog every day. It's normally just once a week or when I can squeeze some free time in my crazily packed day. But today is a little bit different.
I think you already knew this, but I'm going to remind you, I write songs. And when I have something come up that's either super sad, or it makes me really mad, or crazily happy, I write.
Basically when my emotions are on overdrive the words just roll out without me even thinking about it.
I either write songs or poetry. I like the songs better.
About a week ago my emotions were on overdrive again. And this time it was a sad overdrive.
So I wrote a song.
And I think it's pretty good.
I want to share this one with you.
I really hope that you guys like it.

The Thought of You
Verse 1:
It started in high school and we were both scared.
We had never felt this way before.
A few days later and it was second nature.
Everyone thought that we were perfect together.
I had made plans that would last forever...

Chorus:
Now we're holding hands like we'll never let go.
Every single hug seems to last forever.
It wasn't so long ago you were mine.
Now the thought of you brings tears to my eyes.

Verse 2:
We go together like pb&j.
Why does life have to play us this way?
We were just fine until life interrupted.
I guess we're too old to believe in happily ever after,
But I sure thought you were mine...

Chorus:
Now we're holding hands like we'll never let go.
Every single hug seems to last forever.
It wasn't so long ago you were mine.
Now the thought of you brings tears to my eyes.

Bridge:
So naive, yet so strong.
I think I love you, maybe one day I'll know.
The ride we're on is so bumpy.
But one day it may slow down to you and me.
I guess we'll have to wait and see

Chorus:
Now we're holding hands like we'll never let go.
Every single hug seems to last forever.
It wasn't so long ago you were mine.
Now the thought of you brings tears to my eyes.



There it is!
The problem I have when I write songs is that I can't ever get a tune that I like to match up with the words.But one of my best friends is really good with getting the lyrics, and not the words.
I need to hit her up!
Ha ha. Well thanks for reading my song.
I just felt like y'all would enjoy that. Hope you did!

Singing me home,
The unsuccessful songwriter
