CHRISTMAS RAIN

Verse 1:
It´s this time of the year
Christmas is finally here
But snow won´t bring me hope tonight
It´s dark and grey
Teardrops fall down on the way
As I fight to regain the balance
I lost since your storm shook my world

Verse 2:
I sit under the tree
Wondering if you´re thinking of me
I better don´t get my hopes up too high
I bet you party tonight
With all those girls I don´t like
While I´m doing my best to ignore
The big dark cloud above my head

CHORUS:
You´re my Christmas Rain
The reason for my pain
You keep falling
But never for me
Yeah you´re the Christmas Rain
I try to hide from in vain
Is there really no slim chance
To warm up your heart
You´re this year´s Christmas Rain
The one that makes me insane
I keep getting closer to the ground with every drop
Still I´m not walking away
I fear I´ll just stand and stay
Until I´m soaked down to the bones

Verse 3:
Kind words you said to me then
Foolishly get my hopes up again
Your sun may break through the clouds after all
But then my vision gets clear
You exactly do what I fear
So I´d better not take down
My umbrella too soon

CHORUS

Bridge:
What are you trying to gain
With all your harsh cold rain
All it does is making me
As blue as your eyes

CHORUS

MOSQUITO BITE 

Verse 1:
Oh running into you twice
Staring my past in the eyes
Made my heart melt like wax in the summer sun
Just like goosebumps on the hottest day
Remembering power games and change of hearts
Did you think back too?

Verse 2:
Can´t even call me your Ex
Or really say we had sex
But all those times naked in bed do count too
Sure loved you harder than some boyfriends
Those 600 pages and a 100 songs
Way longer than us

CHORUS:
Were we a near miss
Or a suicide crash
You make me feel drunk
You make me feel high
Brave and stupid at the same time
You´ve always been my favorite muse
Twelve years later I´m still writing songs about you
Yeah our story´s just like a mosquito bite
As long as you don´t touch it
You can forget it exists
But once you start scratching
You can´t stop going there

Verse 3:
Guess there´ll never come a day
I´ll have nothing left to say
I know I can get pretty obsessed sometimes
But don´t you flatter yourself too much
I´m just still in love with the idea of us
Back then, never now

CHORUS

Bridge:
Posessed, obsessed, undressed with you
Nothing that I wouldn´t do
To hold your attention
And your hand
Oh I like possibilities
Might have happens
And could have beens
I guess I´ll always miss you
Just like I´ll always miss the past
We´ll never have

CHORUS

TIME CAPSULE 

Verse 1:
A walk down memory lane
Is not for the faint of heart
I was right when I wrote
Memories can tear you apart
All it takes is opening a book
And it feels like yesterday
Getting closer to the end
Is like watching a car crash 

Verse 2:
Sometimes I wanna go back
Live in a time loop between
Our last night back in Spain
And our very first kiss on my bed
They say you don´t forget your first times
So I hope I left my mark
Still flinch spotting big white cars
Falling for you was the highlight of my youth

CHORUS:
That book is like a time capsule
Time capsule
I let it all out
I poured it all in
Tried to be clever
And safe us through time
I hoped to be free
Once I wrote it all down
But every time I open it
I get sucked back in
All our glorious highs
All those horrible falls
They still live on
In our very own time capsule


Verse 3:
Oh you fell for the angel
But you knew I wasn´t one
I showed you more than once
I never cared about my halo
Shed my wings long before we met
You still looked for that princess
Hidden deep inside my shell
You even brought her out
And I hope there´s a parallel universe
In which we made it
 
CHORUS

Bridge:
You grew up
I tried to
You left town
I did too
But failed and came back
While you´re still so on track
Yeah I know
That school, that village, that street
Will always haunt me in my dreams

CHORUS

End:
Was I crazy
Who knows
Sometimes I think so
But maybe I was just so very sad
And so damn angry
I got so choked up
Couldn´t think straight
Oh nothing drives you mad like feeling helpless

26 What I've Become (Final) by Gabriela F.

AWAY LIKE YOU 

Verse 1:
They think you can´t love
Someone you never knew
But there were moments when I saw you
Cause you showed me a side of you
You never let anyone else see
I still remember it all so clear
How you always slept completely naked
Claimed wearing jackets is overrated
Hard to grasp we still live in the same town
It´s not the same world it was back then

CHORUS:
Losing you left
A hole in my heart
A hole in my soul
A hole in my past and future
No it never goes
Away like you did
Without looking back
Without any regret
No cut ever felt
As deep as my hurt
As hot as my shame
As fatal as my world breaking
Yeah I fell in love	
And you just out of my life

Verse 2:
They say don´t look back
Don´t lose yourself in the past
But part of my heart is still stuck there
Busy haunting a ghost town
A mirrage of what coud have been
I gambled high, bet against the odds
Your poker face outplayed it all
Let your cards and me fall in one sweep
Yeah I handed you my heart and soul
And all you gave me back were tissues

CHORUS

Bridge:
Hey it was me
Who lay next to you in your bed
That Sunday morning
Before your first day at the new job
And I was the first girl
You drove around in your brand new company car
Yes, it was my place
You parked it the first night
You promised not to forget me
But you did
You did

End:
Some wounds never heal
Some scars never fade
Sometimes it still hurts like hell
I thought I was done
Writing ´bout my past
But then I lost you


Away Like You (CO/WRITE by A. K.)

They think you can’t love
Someone you never knew
But you showed me so many pieces of you
Like when you slept completely naked
Said clothing was so overrated 
It´s hard to grasp we still live in the same town
Still breathe in the same air 
It´s not fair

Losing you left a hole in my heart
A hole in my soul
It never goes 
Away like you did
Now I won’t pretend 
That I’m ok
Away like you

They say don’t look back
Lose yourself in the past
But a part of me is falling through the cracks
I gambled high, bet against the odds
But your poker face outplayed my heart  
Let your cards and me fall in one sweep
I was in too deep

Yeah it was me
Laying in your bed
Sunday morning 
Before your first day
You promised not to forget me 
But you did 
You did

Losing you left a hole in my heart
A hole in my soul
It never goes 
Away like you did
Now I won’t pretend 
That I’m ok
Away like you

Some wounds never heal
Some scars never fade
Sometimes it hurts like hell 
Because I lost you

Away like you

29 Away Like You By A. K.

THE WORST PART

Verse 1:
I´m not sure if
I´d rather lose you or my sanity
What´s the difference
Between being alone
And being with you

Verse 2:
I never thought
Not speaking up your mind
Could hurt like this
Lying´s nothing next to faking
But ending it seems worse

CHORUS:
I wish I could show you
What you´d be missing
Deciding against me
Make you see what I´m worth
It´s truly the worst part
To give someone all
Only to be told
´You´re not what I want´

Verse 3:
You win every time
When I try to stay strong
Vow to leave early
All it takes is a kiss
And I am yours

Extended CHORUS:
I wish I could show you
What you´d be missing
Deciding against me
Make you see what I´m worth
It´s truly the worst part
To give someone all
Only to be told
`You´re not what I want´
But that´s the worst part
You already know
After so many test runs
You finalized I wasn´t good enough
I wasn´t good enough for you




Bridge:
I let myself fall
Into those orange sheets
While I pretend
Not to notice, you only hold me
Til the sun shows

I yelled at my mom
Please stop asking about him
There´s no need to remember his name
He won´t be your son-in-law

I wasn´t good enough for you

These are a few of my many self-written songs...

I DIDN´T record them myself, I only write and don´t sing.

Some very nice and talented artists were so kind to lend my lines their voices and bring them to life for me!

They also composed the music around the songs .

So, the main credit goes to THEM of course! :-)

I just write, but they sing...
