Re-recorded extended version of this song I wrote over 6 years ago in 9th grade. It is the first song I have written to completion. The piano sound is what it is with the current equipment I have access to. Thank you for listening!
Lyrics :
Wrap your arms around me
Feel the gentle beating
Of your heart and mine
Hear the quiet whisper
In your ear
Of poetry and love songs I write
You make me happy
Until I’m alone
And then I just come apart
I think that I’m happy
Until I am forced to
face this empty hole in my heart
Why can’t I be content?
I’m not holding my breath
I’m just trying to accept
That you’re all I’ve ever wanted
It makes no sense
Because you’re wonderful to be with
And you make me happy
… Until I remember, I’m still me
It is so hard to be me sometimes
I laugh along with the rest
And I’ll try to do my best
To keep my smile on for you
I swear that I’ll be fine
With every line you text
I’m just falling more
… and still ?
I try to be the vibe
To spread the love and the light
And keep it all inside
For the right timing
I’m so afraid I’m gonna mess things up
That I am incapable of love
Am I ?
Because when I see the world
I just gobble it up
I don’t take the time to stop
And learn to love being
Me --
I want to love you
Like no girl ever could
And prove to you:
I can
But I’m still not content
I might be holding my breath
For something I could never understand
It won’t make no sense
Because I am different
And I know that I’m not happy
So first, I gotta start by loving
I am present in the moment
Happy where I am
Someday I’ll be content
And love me like you can
Someday
Someday I’ll be content
