sway (first draft)

fix you - coldplay

I knew you were broken and I thought I could
make you believe they just misunderstood
inside the walls you were trapped in between
you still thought that it would keep you unseen

I came to you so you could take my hand
I should’ve thought that things wouldn’t go as planned
I put in the effort but I got the blame
I tried to fix us but things weren’t the same

run away and don’t ever come back
you’ve hurt me enough 
I need to get back on track
times have changed and we’ve lost our spark
what once was a fire 
died out in the dark 

If you
don’t wanna hold my hand
I understand
just don’t pretend 
that you’re content
I see it in your eyes
I hear it in your cries
you don’t love me no more

could we have lasted or could we have not?
this was a question I kept in my thoughts
I never knew that you’d push me away 
I gave up so much I just thought you would stay

my mind was twisted and I fell for you
why did this happen so out of the blue
suddenly fighting almost every day 
I’ve had enough conflicts, I just want to say

run away and don’t ever come back
you’ve hurt me enough 
I need to get back on track
times have changed and we’ve lost our spark
what once was a fire 
died out in the dark 

if you
don’t wanna hold my hand
I understand
just don’t pretend 
that you’re content
I see it in your eyes
I hear it in your cries
you don’t love me no more
 
you don’t love me no more
you don’t love me no more

no more

she closed her eyes as he held her hand
with everything going just as they’d planned
laughing at jokes that no one would understand

when she opened her eyes the sun would be bright, and even at night, stars fell from the sky
their hearts beating so fast, they felt as if they could fly

but it seemed like nothing good ever lasts
everything they built came down so fast

when waves came crashing inside
tearing down walls that they built
but love never dies
and even through all of the guilt, the pain
there’s only option A
just let go, and everything will be okay

they pulled at each other with infinite string
never getting closer, but just on the brink
mutually knowing they just needed time to think
she thought back to every fight they endured, and saw that their future just wasn’t insured 
even in such will to commit, it just wasn’t secure

cause it seemed like nothing good ever lasts
everything they built came down so fast

when waves came crashing inside
tearing down walls that they built
but love never dies
and even through all of the guilt, the pain
there’s only option A
just let go, oh just let go

when waves came crashing inside
tearing down walls that they built
but love never dies
and even through all of the guilt, the pain
there’s only option A
just let go and everything will be okay

everything will be okay

me on uke and voice, tyler wagner on everything else!

your eyes are as green as the envy I feel for the girl you’re with, for we aren’t real
your smile is as bright as the california sun, but you shine at her, for I am not the one

but because you resemble an angel so pure, the one who loves you is insecure
paranoid about the little mistakes, and after your love and affection she’ll chase

but i can treat you right
I can hold you tight
make sure you’re alright
we won’t have to fight
i’ll love you always, but only if you feel the same way

I wait for you to text me at night
and we talk until the morning light
and then when I fall asleep in the day
I dream of you, memories replay

and how I wish it was you and I
theres something special you can’t deny
but as always theres someone else in your life, and yet you both can’t seem to see eye to eye 

but I can treat you right
I can hold you tight
make sure you’re alright
we won’t have to fight
i’ll love you always, but only if you feel the same way

i’ll love you always, but only if you feel the same way
