    Can I reserve:: 15] Slipped Away [Avril Lavigne]

    I wanna make it meaningful...the title seems like something I could do, I have a muse now.

    [PygmyPuff]

  • PygmyPuff

    ok ignore that, I wrote it now.
    This one is about Ryan Hart, he was alive after the accident but was "unplugged"

    [Slipped Away]

    Verse One:
    Sunglasses hide tear stained cheeks,
    Impressions in our hearts last for weeks.
    Memories recreated, rediscovered.
    Never to be slipped away.
    Refrain:
    So soon your life was stole away,
    So quickly gone without a trace.
    Out of sight, out of life,
    A shadow overtaking a rapid pace

    Chorus:
    So short your time here on earth was spent,
    So quickly you slipped away.
    Out of reach, out of grasp.
    But in our hearts to stay.

    Verse Two:
    Mascara runs, eyes close quickly.
    Guys pretend they just dont care.
    Stressful shouts, Over reactions.
    Crying leaves your pale cheeks bare.

    Verse Three:
    Anger strikes, anxiety lingers
    Pain within, so deep it hurts.
    Staring eyes, hurtful lies
    As we watched him slip away

    Refrain:
    So soon your life was stole away,
    So quickly gone without a trace.
    Out of sight, out of life,
    A shadow overtaking a rapid pace.

    Chorus:
    So short your time here on earth was spent,
    So quickly you slipped away.
    Out of reach, out of grasp.
    But in our hearts to stay.

    Refrain x2:
    So soon your life was stole away,
    So quickly gone without a trace.
    Out of sight, out of life,
    A shadow overtaking a rapid pace.

  • Natalie
    18 years ago

    Lol.. I'm sorry Jessy. But I really want song formats. You should give it a go though, It's not that hard. You just have to have one part that's said a few times. Just have a look at some of my lyrics and see how they're layed out.. And try and lay it out like that. xx Hope you can do one =]

    #12 Pictures in The Mirror

    Verse 1:
    So long ago, it seemed so far away
    Since I held your face/your smiling lips
    I was so young, was so naive
    I believed every word/ that you slipped

    Chorus:
    Where are the fairytales I dreamed
    Where are the princes I seek
    Inside those pictures in the mirror
    I am all yet nothing but bleak

    Verse 2:
    I see lines drawn upon my face now
    Beauty fades, my time exceeds
    Wasted all these precious years
    Just to do your dirty deeds

    Verse 3:
    Your picture flash by, me and you
    Laughing and smiling like little kids
    We seemed so perfect, unlimited love
    Yet in this love tragedy still hid

    Chorus:
    Where are the fairytales I dreamed
    Where are the princes I seek
    Inside those pictures in the mirror
    I am all yet nothing but bleak

    Bridge:
    I was nothing but a fool/nothing at all
    I judged nought of heart, but what I saw

    Chorus:
    Where are the fairytales I dreamed
    Where are the princes I seek
    Inside those pictures in the mirror
    I am all yet nothing but bleak

    For Bobby.

    Undiscovered

    Verse One
    In my young beatin' heart tonight,
    I hear your whisper, 'an I hold it tight,
    'An I can sense forgiveness in your soul,
    Somethin' I've been searching forever for,
    Thought I found me an undiscovered miracle,
    But to let you find your way, I need to let you go.

    Verse Two
    'An I know this might make me cry,
    Thousan' fireflies couldn' cheer me,
    'An I hear you wantin' to know why,
    All I can tell you as you take my hand,
    Is that somewhere you'll find that girl,
    'An to tell you the truth, she ain't me,

    Chorus
    In mornin' light, she'd hold your hand,
    During evenin', she'd enchant you close,
    'An you'd be smilin' as she makes a face,
    'Cause to you, she's your angel in snow,
    But on Christmas, she'd even tell stories,
    'An you'd snuggle when the fire dies out,
    'An I know my heart would be breakin',
    As much as I love you, she just ain't me.

    Verse Three
    In my young mind thinkin' tonight,
    I hear your voice sayin', "I love you.",
    'An to me, you've never bent the truth,
    Somethin' I've been wantin' to know,
    As I push the hair from your eyes,
    How could an angel like you enter my life,

    Verse Four
    'An I know there'd be bridges to cross,
    In my heart, they're miles too long,
    I sense you standin' at the very start,
    Thousan' butterflies fluterin' within me,
    Couldn' forget how your voice was the net,
    But someday, you might understand,

    Chorus
    In mornin' light, she'd hold your hand,
    During evenin', she'd enchant you close,
    'An you'd be smilin' as she makes a face,
    'Cause to you, she's your angel in snow,
    But on Christmas, she'd even tell stories,
    'An you'd snuggle when the fire dies out,
    'An I know my heart would be breakin',
    As much as I love you, she just ain't me.

    Verse Five
    'An I know there'd be bridges to cross,
    In my heart, they're miles too long,
    But I hear you sayin, "I love you.",
    In my thoughts you'd forever be,
    Undiscovered to anyone but me,
    'An I hope you know I love you too,

    Chorus
    In mornin' light, she'd hold your hand,
    During evenin', she'd enchant you close,
    'An you'd be smilin' as she makes a face,
    'Cause to you, she's your angel in snow,
    But on Christmas, she'd even tell stories,
    'An you'd snuggle when the fire dies out,
    'An I know my heart would be breakin',
    As much as I love you, she just ain't me.

    Verse Six
    'An I know there'd be thoughts of you,
    But understand if you ever come back,
    Than I'd know there would be reason,
    To believe, she might just be me.

    ~Wasted Years~

    (Verse 1)
    A relationship bound by the court,
    two parents yearning to abort.
    One child's postpartum deport,
    a life, from the start, out of sorts.

    (Verse 2)
    The help of two elders, they sought,
    a custody battle, never fought.
    Drug addict parents, got caught,
    important lessons, never taught.

    (Verse 3)
    A baby that was left behind,
    consequences of a legal bind.
    A lifestyle of a different kind,
    viewpoints from a distorted mind.

    (Verse 4)
    A family separated by years in time,
    a life with a different rhythm and rhyme.
    Two people, making up for another's crime,
    always living off of their last dime.

    (Verse 5)
    A difficult situation from the start,
    a unique picture, of an unpopular art.
    A family, nearly torn apart,
    two grandparents, certainly, off the charts.

    (Verse 6)
    An unwanted boy, now full grown,
    held together by seams, left un-sewn.
    Approaching life with a whole different tone,
    hoping, some day, to live life on his own.

    ~Sean Dohr~

    ~I wanted to pass by the chorus's, because they usually hold very little meaning and are usually something set into a song to attract an audience. Unless used correctly, a chorus takes away from the meaning of a song. I decided this old poem of mine would make a very interesting song.~

  • Sean Allen
    18 years ago

    He probably just forgot to change it

  • *colorsofmylife*

  • Sean Allen

    meh well, it's none of my business, not like it's my poem or anything. If it isn't supposed to be there then the poem should be DQ'ed

    ..Sorry Sean Dohr. I did put in the rules for it to be newly written. I'm not making any exceptions cause I don't want other people then complaining they didn't get to use an old poem or song or whatever. And P.S. You should have changed the title, Then I might not have realised. =)

    You Set Me Free

    We twisted our fingers
    Closed our eyes and breathed
    Smiled, laughed, and cried
    You were the world to me

    Your sense of humor
    Drove me insane
    You were the first
    To take away my pain

    I went crazy in the head
    When I heard you had left
    How could you leave me
    I'd felt I was dead

    You were everything to me
    I'd give up everything and anything for you
    I'd sacrifice my life
    I love you...

  • Natalie
    18 years ago

    Um, I think thats a poem?

  • Sean Dohr
    18 years ago

    Wow, I need to improve my reading skills...haha. Sorry, I thought the rules read that you had to fit lyrics to one of the titles. I didn't know it had to be newly written...sorry again.

  • Natalie
    18 years ago

    That's alright.

    If you any of you's are finding it hard to write these. Tell me, And I'll post one in here, So you can see how it's set out and things. But, The one I'd post here I don't have posted on this site. So yeah.
