Goodbye (Sorry Means Nothing)

August 2004

It’s hard for me to say
What’s becoming of this day
Never knowing what to do
I always end up running back to you

[Chorus:]
Hey, I was dreaming of you
Late last night (oh)
I was in love with you
But now that feeling’s gone
Never knowing what to say
It’s like you ditched me every day
My heart is beating uncontrollably
I’m going to cry
It’s time to say goodbye
To all of my feelings that have been unleashed
Lock them in a cage, get out of this stupid stage
All of this happened because you said goodbye

Maybe I could at least say sorry
But the pain you put me through isn’t over
I’m always crying over this but it happened months ago
It’s hard to forget all your twisted lies

I wish I could lock them up in a cage
Why am I stuck in this stupid stage
Water dripping from my eyes so much like a faucet
My dreams are missing in action

[Chorus:]
Hey, I was dreaming of you
Late last night (oh)
I was in love with you
But now that feeling’s gone
Never knowing what to say
It’s like you ditched me every day
My heart is beating uncontrollably
I’m going to cry
It’s time to say goodbye
To all of my feelings that have been unleashed
Lock them in a cage, get out of this stupid stage
All of this happened because you said goodbye

Maybe you could have said sorry
And maybe I would have forgave you
But that’s all for now
Never say sorry
It means nothing
Goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Sorry means nothing
Goodbye

My heart is beating really fast
My hands are getting sweaty
Will this moment ever last
Holding on is getting hard
Why is life like this

[Chorus:]
Hey, I was dreaming of you
Late last night (oh)
I was in love with you
But now that feeling’s gone
Never knowing what to say
It’s like you ditched me every day
My heart is beating uncontrollably
I’m going to cry
It’s time to say goodbye
To all of my feelings that have been unleashed
Lock them in a cage, get out of this stupid stage
All of this happened because you said goodbye

Note: I found some older writing, mostly songs, on my computer. I will be posting these the remainder of this month – feel free to laugh at my teenage angst!

Band Tee

December 20th, 2018

I was young when I first met you
You caught my eye and I thought “you’re cute”
You looked at me and you felt it too
I took a leap with no parachute

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

You pick me up in your silver car
Take me away, I don’t care how far
Serenade me with your guitar
I’ll write you songs for my repertoire

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

In your arms you’re my sanctuary
You keep me safe like it’s necessary
And keep me warm when it’s January
I’m so thankful it’s you I married

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

Note: This song is meant to be pop-country. I don’t usually write ‘happy’ things, and I scarcely write songs. However, I enjoyed how this turned out.

She’s Lost (Dan’s Song)

She’s sitting there alone and waiting
This world’s just something so degrading

And she’s lost
Confused
Misplaced
Been used
And she cannot find her place
So she’s losing it
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she loses you

And every time she hears your name
She holds it in thinking she’s the one to blame

So she’s angry
Forgetting
Holding in
And regretting
And she cannot find her face
In the mirror anymore
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she misses you

She knows this will always have her heart
But she is ready to restart

She was lost
Confused
Misplaced
Was used
And she could not find her place
She was losing it
All she had was gone
She was fading
Today was the day she lost you

So she’s lonely
Forgetting
Holding in
And accepting
But she cannot find her place
In this world anymore
All she had is gone
But she’s growing
Today is the day she’s moving on

My old neighbor (Dan) and I occasionally worked on music together. One day he was struggling to come up with lyrics for a song he was working on, sent me this clip, and this was what I sent him back.
