She’s Lost (Dan’s Song)

May 6th, 2007

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.

Lie To Me (Say It’s Gonna Be Alright)

July 1st, 2006

I’ve got this feeling you don’t like me
As a friend, the insanity
The strength to move on is gone
I’m not gonna be alright

So…

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else

Heartbroken, in the pouring rain
Yeah it was you, who drove me insane
So please forget me as I cry over you
Lie to me, because there’s nothing else to do

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else

I’m going to break down because of you
There’s nothing else for me to do
Break my heart, several different ways
Shattering all those sunny days

Only you can set me free from misery
So lie to me, say that you love me

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else

How Much

July 21st, 2017

How much is a life worth
As it suffers in the hands of others
An accident they say
More like careless decisions
That change the course of our lives
Forever
And you’re slapped on the back of the hand
With the guilt of a son growing up without a father
But that’s not enough
Is this a joke
These years won’t cure
The hearts you broke
But what is enough
No amount of time will bring him back
And make us whole
And make things the way
They were before
