Someday, I will have real recording equipment and access to my guitar/piano again, so every song doesn't sound like this. Rough recording of a brand new original (just finished last night!). Lyrics below:

You have the kind of smile that my daddy always warned me was trouble
And I have always been cool, calm and collected yet I crumble

But not this time, baby
I won't fall down to my knees

Who the hell do you think you are?
Marlon Brando back in his days by the Streetcar
You might seem the baddest boy this side of the Mississippi
But you can't fool me

Don't you try to tell me that you don't really need me anyway
Cause you've got plenty more girls just waiting for you to say

"C'mon over here"
It's all grand veneer 

Well who the hell do you think you are?
Marlon Brando back in his days by the Streetcar
You might seem the baddest boy this side of the Mississippi
But you can't fool me

I know you're used to girls falling at your feet 
But that ain't who I'm supposed to be
I keep expecting you to stop chasing me
I got a hold on you, don't know what else to do except to let you get close to me
But you better figure out

Who the hell you think you are
You ain't Marlon Brando back in his day by the Streetcar
Ain't no way you're the baddest boy this side of the Mississippi
No you can't fool me

Oh you can't fool me

You have the kind of smile that my daddy always warned me was trouble

Can't Fool Me

New song, lyrics:

Standing outside my house in this icy wind
I'm wishing for the comfort of my blanket-covered bed
But that look on your face means you've got something to say
And I don't think I want to hear it anyway

When you finally get the words off your chest
It's every bit as painful to hear as I could've guessed
One more kiss on my cheek and I know it's time
So why can't I say goodnight?

I'm not hoping that you'll change your mind
I know it's no use once you decide
I can't help holding on to all those better times
Oh why can't I say goodnight?

Another day surviving on coffee and cigarettes
Nothing really numbs the pain of all my regrets
I run to you when it hurts too bad to keep it to myself
Baby I can't love nobody else

So we fall into each other's arms for old time's sake
And I know come morning light, you'll call it a mistake
One last kiss on my cheek and I know it's time
But why can't I say goodnight?

I'm not hoping that you'll change your mind
I know it's no use once you decide
I can't help holding on to all those better times
Oh why can't I say goodnight?

Tonight, I ask the bartender to pour me something stronger than me
Maybe a shot or nine of whiskey will pull me from your gravity
But when he yells for last call, I'm still holding on to hope so tight
Oh god, how can I say goodnight?

Just say goodnight
I gotta let go of all those better times...

Why Can't I Say Goodnight?

Cover of Lauren Aquilina's "Talk To Me" -- Really need to get better recording equipment...

Talk To Me (Cover)

First verse in French, second in English; a la "How I Met Your Mother"

La Vie En Rose

Fresh of the presses, completed today! I'll do a recording with my guitar at some point, since I'm convinced that will sound better. Also disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. I'm not a murderer. Lyrics:

It feels like I've barely been asleep until it's 3:18 
And my phone won't stop ringing
My past is calling me and you know you know you know I'll answer
I always answer

I drove across the country to get away from you
Still every time I look behind, you're in my rearview
You can't keep calling me, haunting me
I don't know what I might do... if you don't

I might grab my daddy's shotgun and aim it right between your eyes
Might find my sharpest carving knife and stab it through your spine
Might not be the sanest option but it's what I gotta do
You made me crazy for loving you

It's days like these I start to think a hurricane'll be named for me
And I'll pull you under
After all you put me through, you know you know you know it's my turn
To steal your thunder

I drove across the country to get away from you
I better not see you anymore waiting in my rearview
You can't keep calling me, haunting
Since I know what I'll do... if you don't

I'm gonna grab my daddy's shotgun and aim it right between your eyes
Gonna find my sharpest carving knife and stab it through your spine
I know it's not the sanest option but it's what I gotta do
You made me crazy for loving you

And when I'm finally standing up in your court, I'll be pleading insanity
The only reason you're not around anymore is you came crawling back to me
One too many times
I just had to say goodbye

So I grabbed my daddy's shotgun aim it right between your eyes
Found my sharpest carving knife and stabbed it right on through your spine
No it certainly wasn't the sanest option, but it's what I had to do
To finally be rid of you
Oh you made me crazy for loving you

Crazy

Lyrics: 
Oh my darling, oh my dear
It's not the same without you here
I keep lighting forest fires just to feel some heat
Oh my darling, oh my love
Was I really so easy to be rid of?
Maybe my silent compliance made me obsolete

Tell me do you run marathons to run from me
I'm always burning bridges down while you build homes
Oh hold on for a moment please
I don't have your excellence but I have my own

Still I can’t help singing

Oh my darling, oh my dear
It’s not same without you here
I keep lighting forest fires just to feel some heat
Oh my darling, oh my love
Was I really so easy to be rid of?
Maybe my silent compliance made me obsolete

You know I tried to go along with everything you said
Now I’m just draining oceans while you’re planting trees
After months of black and white, I’m finally seeing red
And all my stores of devotions to you come up empty

But I’m still singing

Oh my darling, oh my dear
It’s not same without you here
I keep lighting forest fires just to feel some heat
Oh my darling, oh my love
Was I really so easy to be rid of?
Maybe my silent compliance made me obsolete

I’ve got a bottle in my hand labeled self-destruction
And a mind bent for trouble and reckless seduction
Who the hell are you to say I lost my worth years ago? 
I may not have your excellence but I found my own
Oh I found my own

Oh my darling, oh my dear
I'll be so much better without you here

Oh My Darling

It's been a while since I shared my cliché songs with the Internet... Here's to being more creative. I technically wrote this song almost 2 years ago, but never recorded it until now.
