Best Years of My Life

These years have passed by so fast,
I remember when I was small.
You always made me laugh,
Those were the best years of my life.

It seemed like a dream,
How wonderful life was,
Now I can't go back to sleep,
But those were the best years of my life.

You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...

So many memories in my heart.
I'll cherish them forever,
Each day was something to look forward to.
Those were the best years of my life.

I'd listen to everything you'd say,
Laughed at all your jokes,
You'd make me feel better on my worst days.
Those were the best years of my life.

You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...

You'd help me up when I'd fall,
Encourage me every  step of the day.
Worked hard to care for others,
And always had a smile on your face...

You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...

That was my fairytale, the best years of my life.

I Miss You

Watching the raindrops fall,
Shattering to the ground,
It's like the sky is crying.

Drifting my mind to the past,
Each raindrop is a memory,
I'm counting each raindrop in my heart.

I force a smile a smile on my face,
Waiting for a new day.
Opening up my heart,
And let sunshine in.

The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,
Do I miss you?
The echo is in the back of my head,
Words that have been left unsaid,
I miss you.

Counting all the colors of,
The rainbow shining above,
It's like there's a whole new world.

I'm sitting in the lonely place,
Wondering what I should say,
To prevent myself from hurting.

I force a smile on my face,
Waiting for a new day,
Removing the pain out of my heart,
And figure out why

The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,
Do I miss you?
The echo is in the back of my head,
Words that have been left unsaid,
I miss you.

I'm pacing back and fourth,
Not knowing where to go.
I'm stuck, in the memories,
I'm stuck, waiting to believe,
That wishes do come true.
I miss you.

The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,
Do I miss you?
The echo is in the back of my head,
Words that have been left unsaid,
I miss you.

Watching the raindrops fall,
Shattering to the ground,
It's like the sky is crying...

Don't Let Go

This song is about bullying. I strongly care about this issue so please, stand up for bullying.

Everywhere I go, something turns me down.

I see others, falling to the ground.

I wanna find a way to figure it all out.

And I just want it to stop…

What’s going on in their mind?

Picking on others, who are trying to fight?

Fighting back to stand up for themselves.

I want it to end.

Don’t let go…

You must hold on to your heart.

Don’t let go…

Take each step to the top.

Behind the tears there is a smile,

Behind the hate is love

Behind everything else is a new world,

A place to stand up.

Behind the words there is a melody,

Behind the pain there is a dream.

And although you seem to be alone,

Just don’t let go…

I just can’t seem to think,

When danger of others hit.

And I know that each one of us gets picked on.

But I hate how it hurts.

Every time I see someone getting hurt.

It makes me feel so worse.

I close my eyes, hoping things will change.

And I wanna say… 

Don’t let go…

You must hold on to your heart.

Don’t let go…

Take each step to the top.

Behind the tears there is a smile,

Behind the hate is love

Behind everything else is a new world,

A place to stand up.

Behind the words there is a melody,

Behind the pain there is a dream.

And although you seem to be alone,

Just don’t let go…

Feel that you can fly.

And no one can reach you.

Feel as if you can soar higher,

Higher you can imagine.

So no one can bring you down...

Behind the tears there is a smile,

Behind the hate is love

Behind everything else is a new world,

A place to stand up.

Behind the words there is a melody,

Behind the pain there is a dream.

And although you seem to be alone,

Just don’t let go…

Run Away

This is what happens when I mesh up bits and pieces of random songs... enjoy :)

I feel inisible,
You see right through me,
And you don't realize,
Anything I want.

You make me insane,
I was going out of my mind.
But the truth is,
You're hurting me inside.

Every day seems to pass by,
I suck it up, hoping things will turn out right.
Do you ever think about how I feel?

As if you never saw me dreaming,
Hoping things will be easy,
But it ends up high and falling all over again.
As if you never knew it would happen,
As if you're lying to my face,
And whenever you change your mind,
It makes me want to run away.

I find it difficult,
To trust anyone now.
It's hard to let go,
Every memory that's pained my heart.

I'm trying to pretend,
That I don't care.
But with all the fights and noise,
It makes me want hide.

And every time I look back
I try to think of all the good memories,
But they seem to hide in the back of my mind.

As if you never saw me dreaming,
Hoping things will be easy,
But it ends up high and falling all over again.
As if you never knew it would happen,
As if you're lying to my face,
And whenever you change your mind,
It makes me want to run away
 
As if you never saw me dreaming,
Hoping things will be easy,
But it ends up high and falling all over again...

Here's a bit of math for you...

Poetry + rhythm + music = lyrics.

It makes sense, doesn't it?

You know what's been happening to me lately?
I've been writing poetry...
A LOT of poetry.
It makes writing lyrics a lot easier... and harder sometimes.
But when you add music, or a beat to the poem, they sound like lyrics.
It pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

Here's a snippet of my poetry. Feel free to critique.

When stars shooting above my head,
Flying as if they are trying to run away,
Do I dream?
Do I just stay,
And keep still?
Dreaming that the wish will come true,
Once you've asked for it,
Do you think it will come true?


Okay, so I can do WAY better.... but I just came up with this at the top of my head.
You like? :)

This is what inspiration does to me...

I hate how you play games,
This game that I call love.
Its blinded me,
And breaking me inside.

Every step I take is,
Moving me forward.
But it seems as thought,
My mind is in the past.

My mind desires peace,
Peace from all this misery,
Because i fought through it all,
But now i give up.

Heads or tails, I flip a coin,
Deciding right from wrong.
Inside my head I think,
Is there a way out?

Every time i try to mend my heart,
It slips from my hands,
It falls to the ground,
And shatters all over again.


--My friend showed me this poem and it inspired me to write this. Isn't this so sad?
Inspiration really hits me deep. :]

FINISHED! -

YES! I finally finished that song of mine from my last post! Here is the full version of the song...
and I'm so extremely sorry I haven't posted in a very long time.
Life's been getting busy.
So any-who, here it is.

When I was young I thought,
Fairytales come true.
We all have happy endings,
If only I knew.

Sometimes promises break,
People move on,
Realize life's not perfect,
We have to stay strong.

And every time we try to mend our hearts,
They seem to slip out of our hands,
And shatter apart...
And every time we say we don't care,
We just can't keep our word,
And wonder.
How long is this tragic story gonna end?
Cause I thought that we all have a happy ending.
How long will the magic last?

Life isn't what it really is,
It keeps going up and down,
Sorry is never when you need it,
It never comes around.

Every little mistake is made,
So we can all learn from them.
Sometimes we cannot stay,
So we just move on... and move forwawrd.

And every time we try to mend our hearts,
They seem to slip out of our hands,
And shatter apart...
And every time we say we don't care,
We just can't keep our word,
And wonder.
How long is this tragic story gonna end?
Cause I thought that we all have a happy ending.
How long will the magic last?
