Beauty And The Beast Medley

don't actually know what to call the chords in the chorus

Verse: Am7 E7
Chorus: 
Am7 (002010) 
Cm7 (005040) 
Bm7 (004030)
Bbm7 (003020)

don't tell me when i have to eat
don't watch me night and day
i don't want your pity eyes
don't want to hear 'are you okay?'

i know i'm not the very best
at taking care of me
but the fact is that i'm still alive
so please just let me be

i need a break from interaction
to go somewhere far away
where my thoughts can wander
so that i can torture
myself into yesterday

both headache and heartache
complete my misery
the moment i manage to fall asleep
i consider that a victory

the pain will cease to be
and i'm starting back at one
history better not repeat
I don't want this episode rerun 

i need a break from interaction
to go somewhere far away
where my thoughts can wander
so that i can torture
myself into yesterday

i need to know that this decision
isn't something i'll regret
still in denial
immensely lost 
without the partner in my duet (E7 Am7)

Into Yesterday - Amanda Ong (Original)

28 September 2017

Verse: Em Cadd9 G
Chorus: Am7 D7 G D/F# Em7, Am7 D7 G G7

I saw it coming
Right from the start
It didn’t scare me back then
I’m not that smart

Maybe you didn’t know it yet
You kept on denying
It didn’t make much of a difference
It’s still terrifying

I’ll be here while you’re there
If you have any time to spare
I hope you don’t forget me
I don’t think you will
But if you happen to move on
And someday I’m out of your life
Thank you for the friendship; it was
Nice to meet you

I’m glad you’re happy
Genuinely
Don’t worry about me
It was meant to be

I’m still here if you need me
I haven’t disappeared
Well maybe I have; inside;
I am what I feared

I’ll be here while you’re there
If you have any time to spare
I hope you don’t forget me
I don’t think you will
But if you happen to move on
And someday I’m out of your life
Thank you for the friendship; it was
Nice to meet you

Afraid and alone
Away and thrown
Make me out of stone
Afraid and alone 
x2

I’ll be here while you’re there
If you have any time to spare
I hope you don’t forget me
I don’t think you will
But if you happen to move on
And one day I’m out of your life
Thank you for the friendship; it was
Nice to meet you

Nice To Meet You - Amanda Ong (Original)

26 January 2018

Slowly, please be patient with me
I’m gonna make mistakes, but for as long as it takes
I wanna learn from you, learn everything that you do
I’m so amazed by your ability, your knowledge and humility

One day I’ll make you proud
Glad that we ever crossed paths
I will be somebody
I won’t be nobody
And I’ll have you to thank
Cause when my mind drew a blank
You opened me a window
When I was but a zero
To me

Fervour, the more I discover
Life has been colourful, something I never knew
I haven’t been seeing dark, everything has a spark
How did it get this way? I want this everyday.

One day I’ll make you proud
Glad that we ever crossed paths
I will be somebody
I won’t be nobody
And i’ll have you to thank
Cause when my mind drew a blank
You opened me a window
When I was but a zero
To me

Is this a fantasy?
Or my broken reality?
Was it all in my head?
Am I hanging by a thread?

I wanna make you proud
Glad that we ever crossed paths
But I feel like nobody
I am a nobody
And I only have myself to blame
And no one else to name
So I’m closing up the window
Cause I’m nothing but a zero
To me

You Don't Exist - Amanda Ong

YouTube live demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBD-4e4aPUg

Probably the last track i'll ever upload cause i've run out of upload minutes.

I wrote this a day before my sad ass birthday this year because I was feeling ultra down. 

Still a draft, I hope I can release this sometime in 2019!


 think it's rather strange 
that the thoughts inside of me
don't equate to what i'm saying 
or what i want you to see

---

i wonder why my eyes are always begging me to cry 
and why my mind is telling me that i'm the bad guy 
with my words, i try but i always tend to oversimplify 
so i just deny

i'm feeling nothing and yet everything at the same time
i can't describe in words what's wrong with me and it feels like a crime
neither will you understand and there's nothing you can do
i'm on my own
leave me alone

---

don’t you think it’s rather strange
that "I’m good" is my go-to reply
i don’t need or want reactions 
lest my problems amplify

---

i wonder why my eyes are always begging me to cry 
and why my mind is telling me that i'm the bad guy 
with my words, i try but i always tend to oversimplify 
so i just deny

i'm feeling nothing and yet everything at the same time
i can't describe in words what's wrong with me and it feels like a crime
neither will you understand and there's nothing you can do
i'm on my own
leave me alone

—

i wonder why my eyes are always begging me to cry 
and why my mind is telling me that i'm the bad guy 
with my words, i try but i always tend to oversimplify 
so i just deny (fancy chord)

I try to fix things step by step  
Oh, but i messed up again 
It looks like nothing's being done 
Ooh, boy i messed up again 

You don't understand me  
And i don't understand why 
 You can barely see it when i try  
Why, don't we see eye to eye 

 Take a look at this once more  
Oh, tell me what's the matter now  
I can't tell who's the one at fault 
But it will be mine somehow 
  
You don't understand me  
And i don't understand why 
 You can barely see it when i try  
Why, don't we see eye to eye 

Iiiiiiiiii wish to meet halfway 
Ii'll see you another day 
Okay? 

You don't understand me  
And i don't understand why 
 You can barely see it when i try  
Why, don't we see eye to eye

Dream A Little Dream Of Me - The Mamas & The Papas [musicianmandy]

[Verse] 

The sun is up, bright and blinding to my tired eyes
The daylight’s no excuse for the cold winter
Beneath the layers I’m clothed in
Behind the masks, I’m feeling
Cold, and I’m shivering

The weather’s unforgiving but nothing’s really new
It’s been this way for most of my time here
The walls keep coming closer to me
They hug me so tightly
So I feel warmly suffocated

[Chorus] 

The triangles that form a square are just
Fragments of a thing trying to keep itself together
If we could just see it for what it is
Life could be so much better
So can I be real with you?
Before someone tells me that I have to be a square again
How 'bout you take a second look at the pieces within;
The shapes, the lines and the angles that make up a shattered quadrilateral

[Verse]

I can hardly remember what it feels like to be comfy 
In a weather that drowns my frowns and blows my mind (in a good way) 
The prickling, icy, fierce, unfeeling season’s never ending
Perpetually tormenting my being

[Chorus] 

The triangles that form a square are just
Fragments of a thing trying to keep itself together
If we could just see it for what it is
Life could be so much better
So can I be real with you?
Before someone tells me that I have to be a square again
How 'bout you take a second look at the pieces within;
The shapes, the lines and the angles that make up a shattered quadrilateral

[Verse] 

One day the sun will shine and it won’t be cold
And I will be free to swelter in the heat
I’ll be tossing layers and the glue welding my walls shut will finally melt
It will be warm outside and I’ll no longer be shivering in daylight

Square - Amanda Ong (Original)

I think this might just sound better with instruments

5 September 2020

A song about having forgiven someone for their mistakes but their past still comes back to haunt you time and again.


Lyrics

How many times do I have to go through
Square one
How many easter eggs will I find
It's not that kind of fun

I know now it's not on you
And I know it's in the past
But still, it gets me, like indigestion,
When I eat too fast

Well I'll just sit and wait, and eat and hate
Until this feeling's gone
There is no cure, no right solution
I just have to move on
When the time comes I'll be fine again
I just hope that this won't repeat again
But one can only hope (hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)

How many thoughts do I have to think
Before I stop thinking about it?
Is this moving forward? Backward? Sideways?
Maybe it's time to quit?

I still know it's not on you
And I know it's in the past
But still, it gets me, like when
My period's late from stress

Well I'll just sit and wait, and eat and hate
Until this feeling's gone
There is no cure, no right solution
I just have to move on
When the time comes I'll be fine again
I just hope that this won't repeat again
But one can only hope (hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)

Okay, I think I got it this time
But who's to say that it'll be the last time
Well, one can only hope (hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)
(hope, hope, hope)

[stacking]

(hope, hope, hope)
One can only hope
Sit and wait, and eat and hate, and
Oos
