Changing   (These three lines are screamed)
These thoughts just keep on playing
In my mind

Creating ( These lines are also screamed)
A false sense of sustaining
Buying time

(Small guitar riff, overall it's like a 20 second pause)

What you are,  (These four lines are sung)
Is a sad reflection of what I am
And what I am
Is a waste of time

What you said (These four lines are screamed)
Never can heal my life
And my reaction
Was to say goodbye

(Slide on guitar and hard on the drums)

Last chance (Sung all the way down until you get to "Time has...")
Just like I said
You'll never change
Romance has become the wall
That we hide behind
Time has destroyed what we have (Scream)  -- (Short Pause)
And you won't change... (Sing)

I can't explain this       (These next four lines are screamed)
This has been lost to me
I can't erase this
You have been lost to me....

(Slow down tempo)

We were so close.... (Sing)
When you picked up and walked away (Sing)

We were so close...      (Sing)
When you threw this all away (Sing)

(Pick up tempo)

It's this false sense of who we should be (scream)
That forms this wall between you and me (scream)
If you would take time just to see (sing)
In me and you theres nothing left to believe (sing)

We were so close....... (repeat line twice)--(Sing)

Hey, so this is it. I've written a few more but I figured I'd just get some opinions on this one. I've been working on it for about 8 months and right now I'm still figuring out the music. I think I'm done with the lyrics but I would appreciate your comments and anything that would help develop this song. It's a hardcore (screamo) song so if you don't like it I'm sorry. I just want comments on words not the type of music it is. The name's Autumn and I'll post more as I write more so comment if you can help...

The way the lyrics sound and flow looks good to me.  I can imagine a tune with it (or at least the emphases).

I'm not sure what to say about the meaning.  It looks to be based on someone's thoughts/emotions about a person of a recent former relationship.  Maybe it's even a breaking-up song.  I don't know; maybe it's symbolic for something else.  It doesn't seem very positive, though, unless you count the nostalgia at the end—but then, I don't know how positive this genre is supposed to be.

> In me and you *theres nothing left to believe
*there's

Thanks for letting me check it out!  I hope you get more replies.

Yea thanks for the reply. It's talking about this girl who's making mistakes in her life and throwing away what could be a great relationship. The genre is Christian screamo so I don't want to sound too negative, but yea it's a sad song that says "what could have been..." Thanks for the critique.
