I said on twitter the other day that I was considering sharing some songlyrics in my blog.
Thing is - I'm very shy about my music.
I don't think I'm good enough at anything.
I play the guitar, but not very well.
I own a piano, but hardly ever use it.
I also sing, but only to myself.
I have mountains to climb! That's pretty obvious.
I can play for hours, sing and enjoy myself - but the second anyone enters the room, I choke! That sucks!! ;)
I hear it's called stagefright. Bite me!!
I've made a deal with my self; to at least share the written word.
All my songs come with a melody but untill I find someone willing to play with/for me (just for fun) I won't be singing them to you....
The best that could ever happen was if someone liked the lyrics well enough to want to use them. That would be awesome!!
Untill then - here ya go:
You'll still be mine
I'd be way down on the corner before
you find that I've gone away
I won't be hiding 'round your hometown,
I won't be trailin' down your trail.
I'll walk ten miles just to get around -
it's not a game that I wanna play.
I'll do anything to get away from you sugar,
cuz I won't let you beg me to stay.
I've been trying to get away for so long
but it's hard not to change my mind
when the sound of your voice is creepin' up my spine
saying that "you'll still be mine".
I will cry inside when I tell you
I just don't feel what you want me to feel.
I will cry inside when I tell myself
I have wounds that I need to heal.
Sometimes I fake and sometimes I break
when I tell you another lie.
I don't need to leave, I really don't have to go
but I must - or I will not get by.
Saying that you'll still be mine
is a worthless old line
often used by someone who knows
he's been out of line.....
I've been trying to get away for so long

Deeply felt lyrics. & they have a lilt that will work well with the right melody. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWish I knew what to offer for "stagefright" & I completely understand that obstacle. I know that it is an internal struggle to believe in oneself. If I ever "get it" you'll be the first one I call with the revelation. xo
I like it. :-) I understand stage fright. Ur songs r personal to u and they're a part of ur soul that's so vulnerable. U don't want it to not be liked and accepted. Try just recording it and letting others hear the recording. Then pull out the bravery card and perform. :-)
