Wake up, Break down [Lyrics]

Intro:
You're a wreck, [a mess]
Yet you still try your best.
Lost your job, [so broke]
People think you're a joke.
Girlfriend gone, [heart break]
Suddenly you awake.

Verse 1:
Now that this dream is done,
I'm thinking of starting over.
Even if I can't make it today,
You won't get the best of me.

Verse 2:
You walk in and out of dreams,
Like some kind of twisted game.
Crashing down in a spiral dive,
I've lost control of my own life.

Pre Chorus:
When time fades away,
I'll look for you again.

Chorus:
Standing on the edge of all good things,
Staring down at what my life could be.
Without you I bring myself down more,
There are some things I just can't see.

Verse 3:
All you did was put me down,
And never tried to help me up.
Sacrificed everything I ever had,
To see you smiling at my grave.

Outro:
I awoke to see this day unchanged
[with my life fading away]
Locked behind doors without exits
[I awake again to reality]

    I myself can honestly say, being in a band myself, that this song has a lot of potential.
    Not a lot of long winded lines. Short, simple, sweet, and it flows.
    The form is a bit odd to me. But hey. What can you do?

    5/5, mate.

    Very good basis for a classic rock song. Its hard to pull off writing songs with good lyrics that dont overkill the actual song. But you did it, congrats =)

    I really like this, the only problem I had with it was:
    Lost your job, [so broke]
    People think you're a joke.
    That just didn't work for me, but that could just be me. Other than that, I really like this. Good job. 5/5
