T.O.W. I wish I did not have to feel like this to write music
Well, I`m writing songs again. Sort of. Okay, I`ve written a couple rough (very rough) verses and a chorus or one song. But hey, I`m trying. It`s just that everything I think of either sounds exactly like something I just heard on the radio, or the rhyming is cheesy-awful. or it simply sounds so, well, cookie-cutter. You know, like in country songs how a guy always sings about his mother, his woman, his dog, his truck, and beer.
And for some reason it`s only when I`m feeling, well, like I am right now, that I can write worth a damn. And even now I can`t squeeze out much. What`s wrong with me? Ergh. Anyhoo, this is it (and I did have Reba playing not too long before thought of it. Go figure.)
I`ve got this man
The man of my dreams
The one who makes life so clear.
I had ached for him
It seemed like so long
But he said `If you`ll wait right here`
`If if takes my whole lifetime,
I`ll make it up to you,`
`You are my life line,
You`re my dream come true`
So why
Do I feel like I`m tryng
too hard to be loved.
And I feel like I`m crying
when he thought I was tough.
Like I`m never enough
But for him I`m too much
And for us like I`ve compltely lost my touch
So why
I want all of his heart
H says there`s not much to give.
Or he`s just too afraid to let go
But just this man on earth
Can make my heart smile
And hurt so deep he`ll never know
But he takes care of me
And he loves me so right
That`s why when he hurts me
I wish I could just fade out of sight
