It's Over Isn't It (Cover)

how many songs must i write
til i no longer sing for you
how many lies must i say
til i can say the truth

that you’re not in my blood
that i’m somebody new
that you’re not in my blood
oh no, not you

i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
i’ll do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again, soon

i wrote my pen dry
every feeling for you
i let time go by
i was reeling from you

now you’re not in my blood
as much as you were
in my bigger picture
you’re now a blur

and i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again

and i won’t stop
believing love is true, is kind, is existent 
i know it’s just an exercise of patience, oh i know
i know that someone waits for me

=================================

note: i've been talking a lot about all the music i've been writing but the truth is, almost all of the tracks i've made so far just don't satisfy me yet. i wrote and demo'd this within a few hours both as an exercise and as a way of emptying my head so i can work on my other songs. that would be all


in my blood (love is true)

You shape your words like a jar of clay
Do you even mean all the words you say
But it's not over till I'm on my own
Looking for peace in a danger zone

"Top of the morning", greeted all my lows
Waiting for days, thats how imy day goes
Im just a reflection of a big mistake
Falling asleep is keeping me awake

Could you take another picture
Don't you see that i have just had enough
Of hearing several other mentions of us
Living curse of being sober

Now you're just another face on the wall
Pretty girl that thought she knew what she'd want
With cold heart that set to default
And it's sad to say it's over.

You shape your words like a jar of clay
I never believed in any word you'd say
But it comes back and brings me to my knees
I step up a sigh of sweet relief

Every season is a fading light
Bury myself something I just might
Do i believe in anything at all
Sick sick sick of these unanswered calls

Now, I'm glad to say it's over. 

Just Another Face On The Wall

sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

Lyrics:
This time last year
Was just like any other
Your voice felt so near
Miles away I could hear you whisper
And we'd tomorrow head on, hand in hand
See it through against all odds
Just like we planned

Things stay the same for the most part
Slowly learning to live our lives apart
I'll get by for the most part
But why can't I bring myself to start?

Tenderly as a gentle breeze
You drift away from me and this galaxy
You're just slipping away and away and away
I just couldn't get you to stay

Things stay the same for the most part
Slowly learning to live our lives apart
I'll get by for the most part
But why can't I bring myself to start?
