A song we had to write inspired by the short story 'Popular Mechanics' by Raymond Carver. I'm not a singer but I thought I would have a go at it.

LYRICS:
(Verse)
Well she needs a blank canvas, she needs some new art,
Coz the one she made him, now he’s torn apart,
Well she knew it would be over, it was destined from the start,
Daddy always told her that that man was gonna break her heart,
So she picks herself up, wipes a tear out her eye,
She was ready for this it was never a surprise,
Now she’s gotta keep moving on, moving on

(Chorus)
And I know, she wouldn’t leave me alone,
And I know he  would just say maybe,
If he could just remember her sweet words,
But all she says now is you’re hurting the baby

(Verse)
Now he’s packing up his suitcase, he’s gotta leave home,
He should taken the messages off of his phone,
But he never thought to, coz he’s stupid like that,
Now he feels like a piñata, she’s got the bat,
Still he picks himself up, wipes a tear out his eye,
With the way he’s always been, it was never a surprise,
And now he’s gotta keep moving on, moving on,

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
(triplets) You can go separate ways but I’m stuck in between,
This isn’t a life, I’m not living a dream 
I’m just stuck in nightmare, this picture’s obscene,
They can’t make it work because neither are keen,
So they push and pull, push and pull, 
But they’re never ever getting anywhere at all,
Coz I may be young and I may be small,
But I’m both their possession their trying to call  
But finally, they seem to come to an agreement,
They both have me, which they see an achievement,
It’s not like I’m here still moving and breathing,
But you can’t have everything, at least they’re now even,
They broke that love, split that trust,
Shattered the feelings of each other to dust,
Mangled the bond, mutilated the care,
Coz some things in life you just aren’t meant to share  

(Chorus)
