A song about everthing being 16, having a teenage daughter , being married for 16 yrs, while the wife tells you to just chill roll a doobie and kick back

16 Something

I just redid the mix and fixed the drums, and some of the more glaring vocal problems, and got that cool guitar lead to shine a little. It sounds a lot better now.
Please pardon my vocals, this is actually for a female artist. Not autobiographical, just a story. My apologies to Irma Thomas.

You were my angel, and i was under your spell
And you promised life would be a fairytale
But i was no more than your possession
And you put me through hell
Though you called it heaven

And everytime i tried to leave, you’d just wave your hand
And I’d come crawling back on my knees
I would pray you’d treat me better
When you’d smile at me so sad and so sweet

But something’s changed inside, I can see now who you are
and that sweet smile aint gonna get you very far!

Now who’s the one? Who’s down on their knees?
No need to beg, there’s nothing left that you can take from me
You don’t have any power here no more
Well you’ve lost your wings, and I know just what you’re here for
You are no angel, you are a devil, to the core
And you ain’t welcome here no more

Don’t come back inside, don’t put your bags down on the floor
You ain’t welcome here no more

You ain't welcome here no more

Life's a simulation

Arm-in-ARM, America moves on!

LYRIC
It took me half my life 
To finally gain insight
I only saw myself as others did
And I mostly stayed hid

I spent half my life
Upset and uptight
I learned it’s stupid to walk on eggshells
Every egg eventually breaks
And if that takes you half your life
That’s what it takes

Can't say exactly when
I knew what I didn’t then
A dawning realization
An opening of the mind
It only took me half my life for me to find

Time isn’t playing
It’s counting the days
If you don’t know what I’m saying
(Well) you won’t be young always
You sure won’t!

As the years accrue
In the remaining few
I won’t let regret confine me
I’ll amble slowly toward the light
Let the past all fade to black
I can’t go back
I love this last half of my life
So that’s all right


Half My Life

Ruby

Don't Believe What Your Eyes See

Quand tu t’en vas
Paroles et musique Cab

Comme un crapaud pris dans la vase un chien 
Effrayé par l’orage
J’compte les cafards sur le carrelage
Quand tu t’en vas
Quand tu t’en vas
Quand tu t’en vas  

Je ne rêve plus j’fais qu’des cauchemars, j’ai toujours peur
Que tu reviennes pas
J’ose pas demander où tu vas
Quand tu t’en vas
Quand tu t’en vas

J’voudrais des fois qu’tu rentres pas
J’voudrais des fois qu t’existes pas

Je ne   pense plus qu’au gars d’hier soir qui te regardait
Comme j’aimais pas
A qui t’as souri
Une fois
Quand tu t’en vas
J’m’aime pas 
J’m’aime pas

Même quand t’es là, j’ne comprends pas ce que tu fous là
A vivre
Avec un type comme moi

J’voudrais plus entendre parler d’toi  
J’m’ aime pas t’m’aime pas

Je te maudis aussi parfois, même quand t’es là, j’m’aime pas, j’m’aime pas

Mais toutes les fois où tu me regardes de ces yeux là, 
Avec
Ce sourire là
 
Là, j’oublie tout
J’n’vois plus qu’toi
Même si j’m’aime pas, j’m’en fous, j’t’aime toi ; 

Là, j’oublie tout
J’n’vois plus qu’toi
Même si j’m’aime pas, j’m’en fous, j’t’aime toi ;

quand tu t'en vas (version définitive)
