Karma

A song I wrote describing my feelings on a situation that's been going on. I'm not really a songwriter, so sorry if it sucks!

Keeping it together never felt so hard

Been forcing a smile and building walls

Backed into a corner, feel so trapped

Sometimes it seems I'll bever be in tact

Lies abound, they're tying me down

Lost myself but I'll come around

 

You're real clever

Took away the truth

Made me feel small

Like the only way out was to lose

But the time will come

When you finally see

No one's gonna get away

With stealing the best of me

 

You have your fun bringing others down

There's not much else for you in this small town

Rip us apart so you feel whole

Just feeds the fire of your tainted soul

There's a time for everything and it's your time to go

Oh you know

 

(Chorus)

 

The game is over

All your pieces gone

Remember how it felt

Everytime you hear this song

You must be real mad you failed when you worked so hard

Heh, well....

Give the devil my regards

 

(Chorus x2)

 

The time has come and gone

I'm keeping the best of me

 

Author's Note

Basically about this 24-yr old guy that came into me and my friends lives & started messing everything up. A liar, hypocrite, creep. I've never really written a song, so bear with me!

This is one amazing set of lyrics you have here.
I love the second stanza the best. Thi sis wonderful flows well too.

[An owl on the moon]

This was done so well, moving us through the story with a deep lyric feel. There are the painful memories, yet your words are so hopeful and show a heart of victory. Excellent song!

This is actually a really good song :) Songs don't have to be perfectly written, because the music usually adds enough that people look passed anything they might think is wrong with the lyrics. What type of music did you think this would be set to? I would love to hear this on the radio any day!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Oh I like this a lot... very feisty and witty response to an obvious loser...
I really love this part

You must be real mad you failed when you worked so hard
Heh, well....
Give the devil my regards

I could really see Carrie Underwood or Miranda Lambert singing this.
