Running Back To You

(lyrics)

How many times have I
walked out the door,
And promised myself
I'd not try anymore.
But then I break down
and cry like a fool .
And I always come running,
running back to you.

 

Chorus:

 

Yes, I always come running
back to you.
And you promise me,
love that is true.
You open the door to
heaven and then,
Like a fool, I believe
and give in.

 

How many times will it
take me to see.
That you're only making
a fool out of me.
You've lied and hurt me,
so often before.
But I always come running,
running back for more.

 

How many times, I guess
I'll never know.
Because I'll never have
the courage to go.
So I guess I'll always
just be your fool.
And always keep running,
running back to you.

Nothing personal. I just love writing lyrics for songs.

This song almost brings tears to my eyes because i can relate to everything its saying. You worded it wonderfully and i think its great.

This is great I do write songs and this one would be great for lyrics.

Do you play a musical instrument? I always wanted to ask you that question. The rhyming is always perfect, nothing forced and the format allows a smooth flow along with your lyrics. If you don't play an instrument, than I think you may need to take one up and learn...you already have the other part of it down pat.
Do you sing Norma? what I mean is, do you sing your lyrics as you write them?

This makes me want to cry and only because I feel exactly this way right now.

I love the beautiful lyrical quality to your piece. I think that you should find someone to write music for this. You'll be a famous song writer!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You really have a grasp of the lyric writing... powerful words set in a wonderful format... I could see someone like Miranda lambert singing this.

[Michael X]

your gift for lyrics is outstanding Norma, this pulls with all of the heart and conviction of a #1 Hit
and I love how you've adapted the lyrical quality in a way the allows the reader to feel the rhythm
in your words and plays soft as a summer dove flying into the sunset.. a real pleasure to read :)

[David Lewis Paget]

It's very noticeable Norma J., that in comparison to your poetry, whenever you get into a lyrical mode you tend to excel. It's almost as if you need that musical background going on in your head, and then the rhythm kicks in and your ability to rhyme and scan comes into its own.
One of the few flaws I can see is the use of 'many times' in V3, when the word 'often' would suit the metre better. Otherwise, good stuff!
