I Won't Be The One

A song I wrote for everyone who has ever been taken for granted in a relationship and had the strength to leave.

I won't be the one who cries in the night,

as your thoughts wonder...

you hold that pillow tight.

 

I won't be the one who's full of fear,

got so much to say...

but now no one there to hear.

 

I don't feel sorry baby you had your chance,

I was always alone now it's my time to dance.

There was no one there to wipe my tears,

hold me tight and kiss away my fears.

 

This time it's done, and I won't be the one.

 

I won't be the one who's lonely anymore,

sitting here in the dark...

wondering when you'll walk through that door.

 

I won't be the one who's broken from the fall,

your heart is shattering now...

calling my name down the hall.

 

But I don't feel sorry baby you had your chance,

I ws always alone now it's my time to dance.

You were never there to wipe my tears,

hold me tight and kiss away my fears.

 

This time it's done, and I won't be the one.

 

And now that it's done, I won't be the sorry one.

[Adrian K. Smith]

It captures so well, perhaps too well, that insane sadness one can feel at feeling lonely when not alone.

On a side note, I have to say that I love your Author's Notes. There are very few mistakes in form that I have come across here at WC that I could not muddle through and not lose sight of what the piece was saying. I have seen some reviews where people have focused on that, and I have wanted to smack them about the face with a large trout.

This is a very sad, sentimental song. I like it a lot.

You couldn't ask for a better song or message that conveys such feeling as this: "I don't feel sorry baby you had your chance, I was always alone now it's my time to dance." A wonderful come-back song for anyone who is broken hearted! Written with style and finesse. Good luck in the contest!

[Dagger Jones]

[The Musings of Mary H.]

Girl, you got me right in the heart! Wonderful composition!

"But I don't feel sorry baby you had your chance,

I was always alone now it's my time to dance."

I love, "now it's my time to dance"!

[E. M. Murren]

I can practically hear the tune. This would make a really great song. Fine lyrics.
