Another Day of Boredom... and Music Videos.

Another Saturday has passed... boring as ever. Well, not really. The evenings tend to get a little boring. There isn't much to do, besides ranting on this blog, which by the way, (if you prefer text talk, then I'll say BTW) is literally my refuge to get outta boredom.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.


I've been obsessed with a few songs lately... AND their music videos. Here it goes.

1. Who says- Selena Gomez

 

I just love the message to this song! And Selena Gomez is pretty awesome. 

2. The Fray- Never Say Never

I used to be obsessed with this song!

3. Long Distance- Bruno Mars (no music video- just lyrics)

I just love the beat of this song... and Bruno Mars's voice. :)

4.

I just love this song. The music video is really nice too. It's different. 

Well, here it is. Four of some of the songs and music videos that I'm currently addicted to. Yes, I realize that it's different from my "Five Fav Songs" list on the side of the blog. (check it out!)

Project Time... Once Again

I wrote about half of a song yesterday for my project.
Here it goes.

Think about the memories,
Save them like a keepsakes in your heart.

I know we're on different journeys,
But keep an image in your mind.

It doesn't have to be in a frame,
You don't have to look at it every day.
Just take a glance every once in a while,
I hope it makes you smile.

*chorus*
Everywhere I go, my mind wanders away,
A flashback pops in my head, driving me insane,
And you will come and go, like time ticking each day.
The memories are in my heart, like a picture,
In a picture frame.

That's all I've got!

Over-and-out.

Project time!

I finally found the song I'm going to use for my project!!
It's called Don't Let Go. (CLICK ON IT!!! haha.)

Yeah, I love using links in my posts. It's fun. I'm hyper now.

For this song, I'm only going to be recording the chorus and posting it onto my powerpoint. Although I've been complaining about not having any equipment for recording, I am going to work in the music room at my school. Omigosh! It's amazing! There's a lot of music equipment there! What a dream come true. :)

Unfortunately the presentation has to be a maximum of 5 minutes long. 

I'm still crossing my fingers and hopefully I will end up posting my first "recorded" song on here soon!

holaholahola.

My Spanish is legit.
Anyway, it's pretty ironic how I end up adding posts for 4 days in a row or something, then I stop posting for 3 days, and start posting again. It seems to be a trend.

So, I'm working on a project. It's called ENEX. (Enrichment Exploration.)
Yes, it sounds cool. Very cool.
We have to choose a topic for either
1. a future career
OR
2. a passion

I chose something somewhat in the middle... more on the passion side.
Can you guess? It's quite obvious.
Music Recording/Production!!!!

It's a powerpoint presentaion and I'm also going to create background music. Along with the music, I'm going to play Tino and sing an original. Yes, I'm hoping to get high marks for the "wow factor."

It's due in 3 weeks. Thank goodness I'm ALMOST done. Kind of. At least I'm not procrastinating. 

I'm crossing my fingers!!!

We All Have Been Disturbed. Don't Deny.

I've been remembering flashbacks and memories lately. Some of which I don't even want to look back onto. It's kind of giving me the creeps.

Here it goes.

As I was inspecting my retainer (when I say inspect, I just mean randomly observing.. when I say that, I mean just staring at it.) I remembered an incident where I was about 4 years old. I walked into the bathroom and I found a cup that had my grandma's dentures in it. I will say no more, considering how disturbed you might be.

You know those little toys where you squeeze their heads and suddenly their eyes pop out. Yeah, that was what I looked like.

Long story short, I was scarred.

Anyway, I'm still writing songs, and I came up with this as I was trying to control my friend's hyperactive sister. Since I was too busy trying to control her and stop her from poking my eyes out and eating my ears, I only wrote a verse... basically 4 lines.

"If I come any closer to you,
I might just regret.
I can't go back cause if I do,
I know I'll get hurt."

Over and Out.

Home "Sweet" Home.

I've been home all day long. Gee, how wonderful, isn't it? What a great way to spend my spring break. I think this day has been wasted. I mean, seriously, I could have written a song.

But I didn’t.

I could have gone out. But I didn’t. I could have played outside; mainly because for once it’s actually nice outside. But I didn’t. I could have-

Yeah, you get the point.

I just didn’t, okay? I stayed home, sat comfortably on my sofa wearing my sweatpants, watched TV and didn’t do anything productive. Well, actually there was something productive.

I ate.

Eating food is quite an important and productive thing to do. If you don’t agree, then prove me wrong. I mean, eating is one of the ways that you’re healthy and ALIVE. Am I correct? When am I NOT correct? Probably one in a million.

I think I stretched that out a bit too far. Okay, I’ll go with one in a thousand.

Fine, fine. Okay. One in a hundred. Don’t push it.

As of right now, I’m sitting here with a notebook and a pen trying to come up with a new song. Honestly, I think I’ll end up coming up with a song at 3:00 AM, when I’m in the middle of a wacky dream.

When that happens, I don’t want to get out of my cozy bed and to my bookshelf and go through my however many notebooks I have until I find my songbook and try to write in the dark. Once I’m done, I get thirsty and I think to myself “Dude, you just wrote an awesome song. Now you must reward yourself with a cold glass of H2O.” 

Yes, I used a scientific term. 

Back to the story of my life. Do I go get a glass of H2O?

The answer my friend, is no. Why? Due to the fact that when a person, or to be exact, a family is asleep, people generally turn their lights off. Especially when it’s nighttime. No lights equal darkness. I don’t  like to go down the stairs when it’s dark and I prefer not to even walk around the house when I can barely see what I’m doing or where I’m going. I don’t have night vision. I consider you awesome if you do have night vision.

In other words, I’m too lazy to go downstairs, (in the dark!) and get a glass of water, then actually drink the water and go back up. 

Story time is over. 

Bytheway, I’m in the mood for a soft, chewy, chocolaty cookie. Yum. :)

Hello Noobie

I feel like I'm walking around in circles because I have nowhere to go with my so called "brilliant" idea of writing random gibberish on the blog other than my music. I've tried to make this blog as interesting as possible, but since it's coming from me, I doubt it will be interesting.... It will be AH-MAZING.

Enough said.

Besides, I just named it "A Peek Inside a Music Freak's Life" right? So I'm bound to tell you about my life, however boring you may find it.

I'm still walking around in circles and to be frank, I'm dizzy. Can I sit somewhere?

Also, I was searching through some songs and I found some that I recognized. I used to listen to them way back when I used to stare out the window pretending I was in a movie. Pssssh... I don't do that now.
In other words, I used to hear this on the radio quite a while ago and I'm pleased to hear it again.

It's a shame that I saw the music video for the first time today...

Stop and Stare- One Republic

I also get very annoyed at the adds they show in between some videos. I mean, I get it "Swifer gives cleaning a whole new meaning." I've used it before now stop reminding me, please. Also, I know it rhymes. That's cool. Yo.

R-r-r-ranting.

From what I know, April Fools ends at 12:00 PM. So three hours and thirty-two minutes have passed April Fools and honestly, I didn't prank anyone.

Go figure. I woke up at noon anyways. C'mon, it's spring break.

Don't get me wrong, I did get pranked. Let's just say, I've been pranked by my mind. My brain. My imagination. Whatever it is you want to call it, it's was in my head. And I was pranked while I was asleep.

It's quite easy to get fooled in your dreams. I mean, you can't control them, right?

Let me just sum it up. My dream involved me being apart of Dancing with the Stars and some of my friends who are boys wearing a skirt.

I have no clue how I came up with that and I hope that I will never come across that again.

Enough about that. I realized that this blog is full of mumbo-jumbo of all my songs. I think it's pretty awesome but I don't want you to read this blog and suddenly fall on your keyboard and start snoring. That's not what I intended. I've decided to also post random things about my life, or some posts about me ranting about a certain topic. And I'll add a bit of lyrics and poetry.

I've also decided to change the name of this blog. The URL is the same www.music-in-writing.blogspot.com but instead of "Music in Writing," I changed it to "A Peek Inside A Music Freak's Life."
I thought it will give it a little more character.

I hope this doesn't confuse you. 

I've been rocking out

 I'm currently obsessed with rock, pop/rock, alternative rock and punk rock. (ish) So here are some lyrics to match. Haha.
As you can see, the design of this blog has changed. I thought I'd give it a new look, a more bright and fun look. Hope you like it.

Say Goodbye To the Past

You push yourself, tear yourself down,
You try to fix but you can't find your way out.
That's some strength inside of you.

You used to think you couldn't run away,
Well, you proved yourself wrong and chose the right way.
I bet the others didn't even think twice.

Now ask them if they have anything to say... (anything to say)
Now ask them if they want them to repay... (to repay)

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place now)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

How long has it been.
Since the walls were pushing in?
It's keeping you inside, trapping you.

Quit your trying to please,
You're only making it harder to be,
Able to have the confidence to bring them all down.

Now ask them if they have anything to say... (anything to say)
Now ask them if they want them to repay... (to repay)

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place now.)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

Don't you want to know what it feels like,
To be able to have freedom in our life.
Now ask them if they have anything to say.
Now ask them if they want them to repay.

*chorus*
Misjudged and mistreated,
You thought you were defeated.
But no one can take you down, (no one can take you down.)
You've got to keep trying,
Tie knots that keep unwinding,
Just to hold you life in place now, (hold you life in place.)
Each second is ticking by,
Make sure you don't hide,
Because it's time to say goodbye... to the past.

No one can take you down.

No one can take you down...
Note from the songwriter: Lyrics that are written in parentheses ( ) are echoed.

oh the wonderful creations that my mind creates as a result of listening to Paramore, Hey Monday, and Nevershoutnever.

With the promises that remain,
It's not easy to explain how this cloud of darkness is made.
I'm feeling dizzy inside,
The towers collide as we try to reach higher.

I try to take, take, take it slowly,
Help, help, help myself from being lonely.
Would you ever consider getting me back?
I hope to wish, wish, wish for more peace,
Hope, hope, hope that the fights will cease,
Have you ever wondered why I'm a mess?

It's not finished, I know it's actually something I came up with on the spot as I was checking this blog.
I'll try my best to continue it soon!
Hope you like it.

Fyi, the genre for this song is probably alternative rock or pop/rock.


Paramore
Hey Monday
NeverShoutNever

Silence

Silence. It's a freaky sound. It's a scary feeling- a feeling of loneliness, darkness and suspense.
Not fun.
It's not the silence of when people stop chattering. It's the dead silence. Where nothing, NOTHING can be heard. Not even yourself breathing.
Yeah, that's when it gets deeps.
Dead silence is like pain. Once it hits it's scary. You can't get rid of it right away. You're too speechless to say a peep. Slowly but surely it goes. It hides, but it will come again.
Don't worry, it's almost entirely harmless.
I think it is.
You barley hear a peep.
Trust me, I think it wont hurt you.
But it will come again one day...

^ So here it is. One of my deep journal entries. It was something I wrote when I was down. It's actually dated 12.03.2010.
Spine-chilling isn't is?
Hope you like it!

Stronger.

Another song! Yay!

Stronger

Hey you, can you hear me?
Hear me screaming?
I can't keep my mouth shut,
Because I can't control it.

Hey you, can you see me,
'Cause I feel invisible.
I'm hiding in the corner,
Because I can't take it anymore.

Do you bother even trying?
Don't you realize that I'm crying?
I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.

*chorus*
And inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

Hey you, can you apologize?
I guess sorry isn't in your mind.
It's like you're so ignorant,
I can't even have a hand to hold on.

Do you bother even trying?
Don't you realize that I'm crying?
I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.

*chorus*

And inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

I feel like I'm fighting with fire,
The fire that never burns out.
The flame is burning, shining its light,
It's time to end, time to quit the fight.

*chorus*
Inside I feel so broken up,
I think I've had enough oh this.
Through all these years I tried so hard,
It's made me weak, broken up.
I can't stand it,
I have to learn to let go,
I can't bear it,
I have to heal slowly...
And make myself stronger.

Dreaming the days away...

I had a dream and suddenly these lyrics popped in my head. Hope you like it! :)

I guess no one can take the place,
of you.
Despite how far we are,
or farther we move.
The memories remain in my heart,
with the truth,
of how much I care.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light,
On everyone else, on me...
*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

I guess no one really cares,
about me.
They just want their own way,
and be bossy.
You're the only one who knows,
How I feel,
While everyone is ignoring.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light,
On everyone else, on me...

*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

It's like no one is listening to me screaming.
I feel like the who world is breaking me inside.
When others don't care and they separate,
I remember you and my heart tries to say...

*chorus*
You are the one who gives me inspiration.
You are the one who keeps my head high.
You are the one who never sees through me.
And the only one who's the hardest to say goodbye... to.

No one understands the role you play in my life,
No one understands how you shine your light.

Hope, Peace, Love, and... Perfect?

I just thought that I would talk about the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan. (March 11, 2011)
Why? Because the poem that I'm about to post is kind of serious and heartwarming just like the event that had occurred in Japan.
I actually wanted to post this before, around the time the earthquake and tsunami happened but I didn't have my laptop at the time.
It's very sad to see a very strong country washed away in a matter of minutes. And I really do hope that Japan will grow into an even stronger nation. I send my hope, love and prayers to Japan and I wish for the best.

On the topic for hoping and wishing for the best, I'm going to post a poem that I wrote about a year and a half ago. It's actually about finding who you are and trying to be your best but it's a very special and heartwarming poem for me because whenever I read it, it makes me stronger.

Here it goes,

Perfect

When I close my eyes,
And drift away,
I'm inside a whole new world.

I'm inside my world,
Where my dreams come true,
And I realize I'm not alone.

When the real world beckons,
I feel like I'm pressured,
To be someone I'm not.

Do I shy away?
And hide who I am,
I cannot pretend.

I don't want to be that other,
But I want to blend in.
And not stand out in the crowd.

I have to find myself,
That me that has drifted away,
I have to search far away.

The me that I am,
It's hard to change.
Am I sorry if I can't change myself?

I just keep trying,
Look upon me and realize,
That I'm not perfect.

About to be trashed...

Oh hey, the title above looks like a song title doesn't it?
Maybe I'll try to write a song called "About to Be Trashed."
Cool.

I should clean my room more often; not to just make my mom happy but because I found a notebook and on the first page I wrote a poem. After playing around with some chords and melodies on the piano, I "magically" transformed it into a song. I'm such an awesome magician.
The poem turned out into two verses; but that's better than nothing!

It's easier to come and go,
And walk out that door.
For you it seems like no big deal,
For me it's something more.

I tried to listen to other songs,
To make my mood change.
But it's hard enough to face the truth,
When I have to face the pain.

WHAT A MASTERPIECE! I feel so proud. :)

Thanks for reading!

Gleeeeeek!

As you can tell from the title, I like Glee. I especially love their songs... well, the covers the songs. I was watching the episode where they write their own songs, and I got inspired by one of the songs that Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) sang. She truly has a powerful voice.
The part that really cracked me up was when the Glee club sang "Loser Like Me."
It was epic. : )

If there is a question lurking about in your head like "Why haven't you posted any songs in the past 2-3 weeks or so?" then let me answer: My laptop screen isn't working (weird eh?) and I still need to get it fixed, but while that happened, my dad's computer also didn't work so we got that fixed.
I feel bad for my laptop. I hope it gets repaired soon.

Here's another one of my songs. Enjoy!

Drifted Into Yesterday

I feel like I don't know you,
I'm getting annoyed by your attitude.
I feel like you're telling lies,
'Cause you never acted like you tried.

Here we go, down this bumpy road,
I get stuck, not knowing where to go.
You seem to find your path,
And I never thought we'd have a last.

The moments that we've shared,
I never thought I'd be prepared,
For the ending of my fairytale.
Somehow I feel so lost,
Everything seems to be gone,
And I can't find the words to say,
My mind's drifted into yesterday.

That's basically all I have for today. It seems like I'm only writing half-songs. Truth is, I am but I do finish them, I just forget to post them on this blog because I get excited about my new songs! :)

On the Spot

So don't push me out of your way,
I'm here in front of you to say.
That I'm moving on and away,
From the past.

I've got to forget the past,
And stay where I'm at.
But the memories still last,
In my heart.

It too hard just waiting for miracles to come true.
I'm sitting on my steps trying to make my own moves.

I know that it's too late to look back,
And I feel like I feel for those lies.
And I never knew it could end this way,
And if you could see whats in my eyes,
I wonder what you could see.

So that's basically all I have right now. I just made it up on the spot.
I hope you like it!

New Song!

You seem to think that I don't know,
Seem to think that I don't care,
I'm not ignorant,
I know everything that's going on.

So stop acting like you're better,
Because you're not.
We're all the same.
I'm trying to make things work out.

And now according to you,
I'm the only one who doesn't understand

*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.


You might be trying to sort this all out,
But you're not trying hard enough.
And I'm all alone,
Because it's hard to bear with it all in my head.

Why is it so tough to walk away?
Especially when I'm walking from you?

*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.

Don't you bring me down,
I'm ready for what it takes.
I'm going to grow stronger,
Despite what you say.


*chorus*
Don't tell me that you're sorry,
Don't tell me that you don't mean a thing.
Don't tell me that you're not sure.
I know whats going on in your head.

How slow am I

I'm sorry for not posting for a long time and not posting as much as I used to. I've been really busy with school and making more music.
Oh, and I just want to say..
I GOT MY ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! *happy dances* :D
It's a Fender Strat. I just thought you might want to know.
I'm so hyper at the moment!
I'll keep posted and y'all keep reading!
Thanks!

Song title is unavailable at the moment.

Life passes by quickly, doesn't it?
It seemed like just yesterday that I wrote a song, but it's actually been 2 WEEKS.
I don't know what happened to me. I've never had writer's block for such a long time. I've also been having these massive headaches. Well, I'm back and ready to write more songs!
Here's a song. I don't know what the title is. Any suggestions? I thought of either "Where are you" or "Stay by my Side."

It seems like yesterday,
You held me up.
You kept telling everyone,
How good I was.

You always had faith,
That my dreams would come true.
You always wanted,
To help me pursue.

You kept me from falling,
You acted like a shield.
You held me in your arms,
And you know how I feel.

*chorus*
But where are you now?
Because I'm lost and I need you here.
Where are you now?
Because I just want to disappear.
I can't take it.
I want to hide.
Can you save me.
Please stay by my side.

I wonder how you are,
You were always so strong.
You always made me smile,
And you smiled all day long.

You always told me,
That I could be anyone.
You knew if I dream big,
I will be someone.

You kept me from falling,
You acted like a shield.
You held me in your arms,
And you know how I feel.

*chorus*
But where are you now?
Because I'm lost and I need you here.
Where are you now?
Because I just want to disappear.
I can't take it.
I want to hide.
Can you save me.
Please stay by my side.


I hope you like it! :D 

Friday Night.

I like how I'm currently writing a song while eating chocolate chip cookies. Yum! And it's currently 12:35AM.
This is how I spend my Friday nights. :) Isn't it amazing!
Chocolate gives me brain power. Totally.
Well then, as usual, I'll be posting another song. (or at least a part of it.)

I have about 2 verses and the pre-chorus at the moment. They're a bit rough and they need some editing but they're not horrible either.

Do you know the memories in my heart?
Can you read my mind?
I'm dreaming crazy thoughts in my head,
Every night.

I never thought it would come true,
The day I thought that you didn't care.
And each day it's transforming,
Dreams to nightmares.

How long will it be 'till it will be the same?
How long will it be 'till you change...?

Haha. Isn't it deep?
Thanks for reading. Keep reading my blog. I really appreciate it.
Peace!

There was a pile of crumpled up papers in the corner of my room.

I was trying my hardest to finish this song that I started a few days ago. Luckily, I did finish it. Yay!
This song is really personal to me but whenever I read it, it makes me feel better. It's something that really helped me through my tough times. After writing it, my heart felt so much better and lighter.

Songwriting is really therapy. :)

About Me

I've got to make a stand for myself,
So just move out of the way.
I've got to break some rules,
So you can hear what I have to say.

I've got to make myself feel superoir,
 And stand up tall for who I am,
I've got to believe that I can reach the stars,
Since you won't help me get there.

I wont to hide under my shell,
I've been hiding all this time.
For as long as I can remember,
You were never there, helping me fly.

Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.

I've got to make sure I'm okay,
So I don't end up breaking down,
I'm hiding everything with a smile,
Because you can't read my mind.


I wont to hide under my shell,
I've been hiding all this time.
For as long as I can remember,
You were never there, helping me fly.


Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.

I'm sick and tired because of you,
You're pretending to be someone you're not.
You're not the person who cares.
I know... oh I know...

If you did care, I would've gotten the feeling in my heart...
 
Why are you running back,
When you know I wont take you?
Why do you keep trying,
When your chances are all used?
Forget about the excuses,
They're nonsense.
If only I had the feeling that you cared,
About me.


If you did care, I would've gotten the feeling in my heart...

What an embarassment.

I was looking through some files on my laptop and I found a document of some of my old songs that were typed up. I think they were about 3 years ago...
I'm actually embarrassing myself by showing you a snippet of my older songs, but when I read over it, I just laughed and I thought it was pretty good, considering that I started to write songs at that time. (maybe a year or 2 earlier.)
Well, here it goes. :)

First impressions make a big difference,
Of what other see.
You're able to see the outside,
Not the inside of me.
You just try to find who I am,
And not let me free,
It's hard to change myself,
When others believe...

That I have a perfect life...
Trust me, no I don't.
You think that...
I have no worries inside,
But you don't understand,
That I just keep trying,
To make my life what I want it to be.
I just wish that you could believe,
That I'm not living my life perfectly...

Sometimes you expect me to be so great,
It's hard to even try.
Every time I make a mistake,
You don't let it pass by.
You think I can do everything,
Do you know it's a lie?
I'm just starting to grow my wings,
And you're already making me fly...

 

And the hyperness begins! ☺

If you read the "about me" it's written that I get hyper about the littlest things. That, my friends, its true.
At the moment, I am getting really hyper because I just learned some new songs on Tino. Tino, as you all know is my guitar. Some of the songs that I learned are...
Teenage Dream- Katy Perry
Like a G6- Far East Movement
Mine- Taylor Swift
Teardrops on My Guitar- Taylor Swift (my favorite!!) ♥
The Only Exception- Paramore
Grenade- Bruno Mars
World of Chances- Demi Lovato
This is Me- Demi Lovato feat. Jonas Brothers

That's all I've learned right now.

Thanks for reading! :)

Changed.

Hey everyone!
I just heard this song on the radio (I don't know what it's called. haha)  and I came up with this new song that I'm about to post. It's not finished, I still need to make a bridge.
So, here goes...

Each day is ticking by so fast,
I never knew time could make an impact,
On you.

I knew it was never simple, not easy,
To get used to something different,
On you.

As we take small steps to move forward,
As I'm trying to not look back.
As I'm trying to let go,
Inside I'm wishing that you know...

Hey darling,
Did you ever know,
My eyes were shining,
I was mind blown.
When we first met,
Back in the old days,
Everything we had,
Has changed.

Even until this time, you never cared,
Every single day you make me stare,
All around.

Have you ever realized or found the clues,
Everything that I've been sending you.
I guess not.

As we take small steps to move forward,
As I'm trying to not look back.
As I'm trying to let go,
Inside I'm wishing that you know...

Hey darling,
Did you ever know,
My eyes were shining,
I was mind blown.
When we first met,
Back in the old days,
Everything we had,
Has changed.


Okay. So that's all I have so far. I remember the song was from Taylor Swift. Haha. I'm obsessed with her. I also love her guitar. :)
Please tell me how this is. I would really like some feedback. I feel like this is one of my best songs yet.
Thanks. :]

A natural habit...

When I write songs, I always have a few pages just for doodles.
I believe you've already seen them from some of my older posts. Well, here's another doodle page that I worked on. And it ends up being the last page of my songbook.

Time to get a new one. :)

This doodle page isn't exactly full of "doodles." It's a whole bunch of my favorite song lyrics and titles of my favorite songs, and favorite artists. Some of these lyrics are actually inspirational and they motivate me.

This is basically what I do when I'm stuck on a song. Writing other lyrics helps me come up with more of my own lyrics. I just figured that our recently and now I do it all the time. :)

As you can see, I have written "Tino" somewhere in this picture. Tino is actually my guitar's name. (haha, yes. I actually did name it.)

I'm really sorry if some of the lyrics are messy. Sometimes my printing is extremely neat and other times it's really messy. It just depends on my mood. : D

Accidental incident.

So I happened to mess around with the template designer and I came across this background. I clicked on this background to see what it would look like. Personally, I liked it but I wasn't planning to change anything. I unintentionally clicked on the "apply to blog" button and it took me back to the home page. I'm starting to get used to it.
Let me know what you think. Do you like this background or the one I had before.
They sort of look similar... :)

Thanks.

Confusion is like a time warp, sucking in all your thoughts and drifting you in a new world.

The title is actually a line from a poem. I really like it so I thought I'd put it as my title.
It really has nothing to do with this chorus that I'm posting.
You like?
So, speaking of choruses, here it is.

"Do you know that i'm okay?
Do you know that i'm fine?
There's something that's hurting me inside.
Do you care about how I feel?
Do you care if it's not the same.
If only I could replay.

And inspiration kicks in.

HEY! IT'S FINALLY 2011!!! Happy New Year! :D 
Did you all have fun partying? 

Anyways, I read this poem that my friend showed me and it inspired me to write this. 

Well, technically it was from 2 weeks ago but I somehow found this in my notebook. 

How lucky? :)

I hope you like this. Comments and critique are appreciated. 

I Promise...

I promise I’ll try my best,

I promise to walk away.

But do you realize that it’s hurting me inside.

I promise to stand strong.

I promise to find a way out,

But don’t you understand my heart?

I promise I’ll find a way out,

I promise to never bother you,

But when you treat me like that, how can I stop?

I promise to stay as myself,

I promise to be true,

But if only you cared and loved me too.

1 year... well, almost.

Oh my gosh.
It's been quite a while. Well, I've been really busy during winter. It's winter break you know and it's time for travelling. Busy. busy, busy!
It's a shame that I didn't write a new song. Well, actually I did but I don't have my songbook with me at the moment. :(
Anyways, I decided to add another post on my blog; just in case I don't post another before the new year.

I can't believe that it's been almost a year since I started this blog. Time sure does fly by. My new year's resolution: To post more songs on this blog and hopefully record some of them and create a demo CD. I might even post some music on this blog...

Well, that's all I have to say for now.
I wish I had my songbook with me. Oh well.
If I don't post again before 2011 I would like to wish y'all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

(Oh and Merry Christmas!!) :D

another day, another chorus...

Somewhere deep inside,
The mirror in front of me lies,
It doesn't show me who I am inside,
And it hurts.
Beyond my reflection is the truth,
How much I'm missing you.
And i just want to,
Stay stronger...

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.

--This song is dedicated to my grandpa. <3

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...

*Critique and comments are appreciated* :)

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?

Randoms

Found an old fairytale storybook of mine. I think I got it when I was about 7 years old...?
It kind of inspired me to write these two verses... let me know what you think.

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

Sometimes promises break,
We all move on.
Realize life isn't perfect.
We have to stay strong."

So... what do you think? I'm trying to finish it... if only I wasn't cursed with writers block today.

Personally, I think writers shouldn't get writers block... but then again, there are advantages to them... I just don't know what they are.

Do you?

Long time no post

Wow. It's been a while.
Woah... Paramore songs are actually very inspiring.
Here's another song. I still need a title.

You said you made the biggest mistake of your life.
You couldn't believe you fell for all those lies.
I'm listening to every word you say.
And wondering if there's a way to fix it.

You thought there would be happy endings to your dreams.
You listened to old songs to help you believe.
Now you wonder what has gone wrong,
And why you ever bother with love...

You swore you'd never fall again.
You tried to let your mind forget.
You thought you'd never get a single care.
As you searched everywhere...

*chorus*
Looking around for a miracle.
Wondering if you'll get your respect.
Hoping that someday he will,
Look beneath and accept.
Looking around for something magical.
Fighting for what you need.
Hoping there is something wonderful,
Every time you believe...

You keep fighting every single night.
Trying to keep quiet, but it doesn't work out right.
And I'm listening,
Wondering if there will be an end.

Regretting everything the next day.
Wanting to feel like you're running away.
And I think if love is really true,
Why does it feel like it's going to waste?


You swore you'd never fall again.
You tried to let your mind forget.
You thought you'd never get a single care.
As you searched everywhere...


*chorus*

Looking around for a miracle.
Wondering if you'll get your respect.
Hoping that someday he will,
Look beneath and accept.
Looking around for something magical.
Fighting for what you need.
Hoping there is something wonderful,
Every time you believe...

my not-so-secret obsession...

Well, now I have a new secret obsession... And guess what? I AM GOING TO TELL YOU!
I bet that makes you feel special... doesn't it?
Well, I hope it does. Anyways, my "secret" obsession is writing quotes. (it's not so secret now, isn't it?)

I just think of quotes as little bits and pieces of songs. Maybe a line or two. A small phrase. Quotes are pretty much small things people say that others may find interesting, funny, inspiring, moving... ect. Y'all get the idea.

Some of my quotes aren't even from my songs, but I think I can add them into them though...

Any-who, here are some of my quotes...

"A true friend has the key to your heart"

"Time isn't going to wait for you. Time isn't going to wait for anyone. You just have to live life to the fullest because every moment is passing by..."

"And if you keep saying that my dreams won't come true, I'll just have to keep playing my guitar until I find the right tune."

"The things you love the most are the hardest to let go..."

"Dreams are telling your mind what your heart is saying..."

Trust me, I have more, but this is all that I'll post today. :D

Someone I'm Not

I seem to wonder,
That I shouldn't change who I am.
To please you, be liked.
I realized I should have taken a stand.

I've come a long way now,
I think you would be surprised.
I bet you're wondering how,
But things happen over time.

*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...

You made me break down,
I thought I messed up everything.
I wanted to fit in,
Guess that didn't work out.

Did you think I'd stay the same.
Guess what? You're wrong.
Why yes, I have changed,
But the real me isn't gone.

*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...

I've been told I can't please everyone,
Even if I tried.
So I'm just gonna try to please the ones I love,
With me, myself, and I...

So love me, or hate me,
But I'm not gonna change.
For something way to small...

*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...


-- So that was one of my most recent songs. (I actually wrote it this morning)
Critique is accepted.

So, I wrote this poem...

I also write poetry too, not just lyrics. Besides, lyrics and songs are basically poetry, but just in a musical format. Anyways, this is one of my best pieces...

Shadow

It mirrors every move I make,
Follows every path.
In sunshine,
It never leaves my side,
Protecting me from the obstacles in the world.
When night falls,
It magically disappears.
It's shielding someone else,
Or resting for it's new adventure.
A dark,
Grey figure,
Full of life and emotions.
It's ready to speak,
But it can't.

I hope you like it! :)

Lemme show ya'll a little something...

Hey everyone!!!
Every songwriter and/or musician is unique in their own way. Then again, EVERYONE is different in their own way! Anyways, something that makes me unique is what I do in my songbook. Technically, my songbook is quite unique... Take a look at this -->


This is the back of my songbook. As you can see it's full of signatures. Haha. Well, this is what I do when I'm stuck on a song. I love to doodle! Besides, it's good practice for when I'm really famous. (Haha, just kidding!)

My favorite part of this is the signature in the middle... it's written in my favorite green gel-pen. It's really sparkly... hehe... It really pops out!

Okay, okay enough about that... I just got over excited... I wrote this new song. It's called 
"The Memories We've Shared."

It's hard to let go, yea,
But now it's time for change.
It hurts more and more, yea,
But I'll end up okay...

I've been trying to pretend like I don't care,
And that it doesn't hurt.
But when I think about the memories,
It doesn't seem to work.

It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go.
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
But my mind traced back to the memories,
The memories we shared...

I don't like change,
But I can't stop it now.
If I could go back,
How would things turn out?

While I've been trying  to face the truth,
That seems like a lie,
I was holding back all the tears,
Because I'm not gonna cry.

It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go.
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
But my mind traced back to the memories,
The memories we shared...

It easier to think about the happy things,
But it's harder when everything turns around.
I killing me inside,
I just have to let is pass by,
And think about what's in store...

It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go...
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
Everything will change,
Everything will go
But my mind will trace back to the memories,
The memories we shared...
 
Everything will change,
And everything will go,
Maybe it's for the better though...

My mind just keeps on coming up with crazy ideas...

I have a bunch of empty notebooks and I am trying to make use for them. I would write more songs, but here is the thing, I need to finish my current songbook. So, to make use for all the other notebooks I have, what should I do? Write a novel? Write more poetry? Doodle?
Now you're wondering, (or maybe not) why do I have so many empty notebooks in the first place? Well, I received them on my birthday, or some of them are just old, or I found some hidden in my room.

I decided on writing a novel. Why? Well, because every year for my new years resolution, I plan on writing a novel and editing and hoping that someday it will be published. And every year, I start writing and then I either forget about it or I just can't seem to think of a plot, ideas, ect...

GUESS WHAT?? I have now decided on trying (I said trying) to write a novel. I have come up with a plot, which I am working on expanding and turning in to... *drum roll please* A NOVEL!

 Eeek!! Wish me good luck and I'll write about the plot as soon as I am done expanding on it... and once I make sure I won't ditch the plan this time... :]

Inspiration really does work...

I was flipping through channels and I came across this video for the song  "Wouldn't Change a Thing" by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas and it inspired me to write this song. :)

It feels like we've drifted far apart,
We barley talk each day,
And it hurts to think of it...

It feels like I don't know you anymore,
And I have to let this go.
It makes my mind spin around.

It doesnt make sense anymore...

Did this all have to wash away?
Couldn't it go back to the same?
I never thought it would be this way.
Now where are all your jokes?
Are they hanging by the rope?
The rope that I cannot reach.
I'm drowning in all of the memories.

It hurts to think of the past,
This all went by so fast,
And it's making me go back.

Everything seems different now,
It's not like how it used to be. 
Every aspect of things have changed.


It doesnt make sense anymore...

Did this all have to wash away?
Couldn't it go back to the same?
I never thought it would be this way.
Now where are all your jokes?
Are they hanging by the rope?
The rope that I cannot reach.
I'm drowning in all of the memories.

The memories have lasted forever,
Inside my heart.
Even though we drifted away...
Inside I feel insane,
Inside I feel lost,
But it's time for changes...

Did this all have to wash away?
Couldn't it go back to the same?

Well, that's pretty much it. Critique is appreciated :)

I FOUND A NEW OBSESSION!!

Well, I never realized this until now but I can write songs with my iPod touch. (yes, I have one... just like almost everyone has one nowadays...) See, I use my notes app and when I don't have my notebook with me, (which is almost impossible... but I am saying, WORST-CASE-SCENARIO) I use it to type my song. It not like I don't use my notes app, it's just that I never used it for writing my lyrics. It's a new fad! Haha :)

I am deeply sorry if that paragraph bored you but I get extremely excited by the littlest things. Now, maybe I wont have to keep my notebook with me everywhere... but I still like writing songs the old fashioned way- PAPER AND PENCIL. (or pen, perhaps?)

Here is another little thing that I got overly excited about...
MY INFLATABLE ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! YAY!!!

My best friend saw this little package of plastic and opened it up and found that it was supposed to be a guitar... so I decided to blow it up and see what it looks like. It looks pretty awesome. (If I do say so myself... haha)

There are days where I sit and sit... and come up with nothing.

This is one of those days.

Although, I spent last night writing a song up until 1:30 AM.
I'm not yet finished and I didn't come up with a title. I got mostly the first two verses done. I got distracted because I was listening to some music on my iPod and I had these super awesome sparkly gel pens and I started to doodle with them!! :D I have this page (or two) devoted entirely of doodles. :)

Because... if I get stuck on a song, then I can start to doodle. It keeps me thinking. (Hey, did you know that it's good to doodle? Haha. I wrote an essay about it... quite interesting...)

So, here it is.

"I've been thinking all day,
What's in my life.
I want to move forward,
But I go back in time.

Back to the past,
I want to fix my mistakes.
I know it wont happen,
So I learn each day.

I keep thinking about whats going on.
I need to think about moving on."

This is what I got so far and I hope I can finish it because I have a feeling it might end up being one of my best songs. ;)

Poetry... Guitars... what else?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

Anyways, let's talk about... um... ah ha! POETRY!!!

Poetry is quite similar to lyrics. They have syllables and beats and you can say them in any tune. That's where I get my lyrics from. Some of my lyrics have evolved from poems.

Writing poems may seem very hard for some people, but for others, (such as MOI) it's not that hard. You just need to practice and work on them.

Oh My Gosh! I have not played my guitar in so long! I cannot believe it! It seems like ages... I missed it so much. It has been like a week and a half or something like that. So today, I decided to get my guitar out and play it... and luckily I came up with chords and melodies for some of my old songs. I have to tell you, it wasn't easy. It took me a while but I am glad I accomplished that task... I wasn't procrastinating this time. Haha...

I'll post new songs soon. I hope I haven't been boring you yet. ;)

Just another night... just another post...

Apparently I don't have my song book with my at this moment (unfortunately) and I cannot think of a song at the top of my head.

My mind is empty...

I just thought I would post something because it had been a while.

How is everyone doing? I am doing great.
I am currently writing a lot of new songs and working on the background music.
I am still practicing my piano... and guitar... and of course... warming up my singing voice.

I just hope that I haven't bored you to death. Haha

I'll post new songs soon. :)

Talk. Just Plain Old Talk.

I realize that this is a blog, and I am not just going to fill this up with songs that might bore you to death. My songs just seem endless don't they? Well... I am here to talk. Yes. Just plain old talk.

Don't you just wonder when you listen to a song on the radio (or anywhere else) and you hear a song that relates to you? It's like the artist wrote that song specifically just for you. Creepy eh? I am just saying this because I always wonder about this...

Also, I love songs that make you think that they were totally written for you and they were meant for you. It makes me feel special. :)

Now, you may be thinking... "Why is she talking about all this mambo jumbo?" Well... I just didn't want to bore you with a lot of songs... although this is a blog about writing songs. Well, a blog is a blog. You can talk about pretty much anything and it doesn't matter what kind of blog it is. Besides, this is a music blog and I am talking about music... aren't I? Haha

Well, that's it for today... catch ya later!

Like No One Else Will Do

Oh... wow... It's been a while... oh well, I have been busy with life that I didn't have the time to post another song. I am sorry for posting really late. Well, now I have the time to do so. Here is a song called "Like No One Else Will Do." This is about my best friends.

Like No One Else Will Do

When you're all alone,
A friend will never let you down.
When you feel scared,
They'll help you turn it around.

When you have a plan
And it doesn't work out the way you wanted.
A friend will help you out,
And help you reach for the stars...

A true friend is there to give you all you need.
They're there for you if you just...

Believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.

When you're far away,
A friend won't stop saying "I miss you."
When you want a hug,
There will be someone to give them to you.

A friend makes you strong.
And will cheer for you no matter what.
Whenever the chance comes,
They will be there waiting for you to shine.

A true friend is there to give you all you need.
They're there for you if you just...

Believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.

True friends will be there to catch you when you fall...
(when you fall, when you fall)
Of all the good things upon the earth...
They're the best of all...

So just believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.
