Title: A few original songs
Post by: darkcarnival13 on February 15, 2008, 06:27:39 pm
I only have piano arrangements for two of these (Illusions and Lies, Broken-Hearted Lullaby). I'm gonna try and make a few piano arrangements for the others too:

copyright 2007-2008 (depending on the song)
ILLUSIONS AND LIES

 didn't know, I didn't know

about those illusions and lies

standing right before my eyes

I didn't know, I didn't know

all you told me , so far-fetched

I never stretched, past that....

CHORUS

Now I know, Now I know

all I thought before was not so

now i know, now i know

so much more

about these illusions and lies

 

I didn't know, I didn't know

you were complicated

makin' me, makin' me frustrated

no idea (no)

I was the one who was blind

and you were the swindler with your complex mind

CHORUS

 
BRIDGE:
No, I don't believe you

need to know for myself, what's right

I may be wrong

but my my truth is much stronger

yeah, much stronger

than your....

 

CHORUS





JUST LISTEN
whispering): Just, just listen....

 

I used to think that you could hear me

just through telepathy

and i stayed strong, i stayed strong

only to hear that i was wrong

i've been searching in my heart

and i hope to find the missing part

 

CHORUS:

please, just listen

just listen to me now

just listen, just listen

just listen to what im trying to say

and maybe God, will tell you what will happen someday

with us.

just listen to those faint heartbeats

that will someday mean everything

 

i used to think that you could see me...

yeah, you could see through me

past that outer, sheilding layer

that leads to what's really there

and i've been searching in my mind

and i hope to find....

 

CHORUS

 
BRIDGE:
I used to whisper songs as i sleep

i used to to keep

everything

i used to wish i had wings

i used to wish i could sing

to you....

only for you.....

 

CHORUS

ahh oh, eh-eh, oh oh

oh, oh oh, eh-eh

ahhhhh.....

(whispers) Just listen....to me





BROKEN-HEARTED LULLABY
Getting out of the car I heard the news

smile on my face

but it's no happy embrace

I'm being smothered in

CHORUS:

so when i lie awake in bed that night

i sing that lullaby

i was taught

and remember my broken heart

 

I'm so sorry

 Ill pray for you

they have nothing better to say, nothing better they can do

i've hit an all-time low

CHORUS

 

so i sit there randomly strumming my guitar

and nothing so far

and i sit there hitting the keys on my piano

i can't let go.

I sit there banging on my drums

and i can't help but to bottle it all inside and to keep mum!

No matter what I'm still so broken hearted

 

CHORUS (x2)

 

Yeah yeah yeah (x2)

yeah...ooo



CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM is welcome. Hope they don't sound too cheesy. please tell me (nicely) if you think they do.

IT'S NOT OK (i have piano arrangements for this too)

How can you just walk away?
like nothing ever happened?
and i just wanna say
it's not ok, it's not ok

How can you just pretend?
im the farthest from being on your mind
when the truth is, im right around the bend
right around, oh right around....

REFRAIN:
Well, it's not ok (x10)


How can you just let me fade away?

PEICE OF HOPE


na.......na na. na na na na na, na na na na. na na na na, na na na, na na na.

This Valentine's Day
so dang rainy
got moved away
right next to you
and a few little words, a little stare, a little outburst was all it took
you got me hooked, baby, you got me hooked.....

na na na-na na na.....

PRE-CHORUS:
with that one little look
that's all it took
to give me.....

CHORUS:
that one peice, that one peice of hope
that one peice, oh that tiny little peice of hope
that one peice, that one peice
that one tiny little peice of hope
END OF CHORUS

na na na na, na na na, na na na (x2)

then, that time in the cafe
talking to my friend
confirmed that i was ok
couldn't stop the happiness
overcome with dizziness
eh eh eh eh.....

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
(oh) you got me so confused
(oh) didn't know what to do
(oh) sorry if it seemed i forgot all about you
(oh) cuz in all actuality, in all truth.......
i did (oh oh)

oh......na na na na na na.na na na na na na

a few words, a little stare, a tiny outburst was all it took
and ya got me hooked baby, you got me.......

CHORUS (x2)

na na na na na na na na na na na na.....oh

One little peice......

FAR FROM HOME (I have piano arrangements)

If fate will make us decide
i've decided to leave this life behind
decided to leave my closest friends
and i makes no sense, it makes no sense!
cuz i'll have to leave you behind.....

PRE-CHORUS:
And i just want you to know
right before i go
you'll never be alone....

CHORUS:
cuz i will never be far from home
i will never be far from home
in the dead of the night
when you think you're all alone
well, i'll never be far from home.
END OF CHORUS

well, im thinkin' of you tonight
got my picture of you right by my side
we've been friends forever
but i would've never
thought.....

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
well, everything has been a whirlwind
since i saw a train stop by
and you got off, looking all handsome
it took me by surprise

PRECHORUS

CHORUS (x2)



Far from home...........





OMG! this is my favorite to play on the piano, and this is my absolute favorite! IT'S NOT ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm writing this based off of the As Told By Ginger movie: Far From Home

As Told By Ginger is an animated series that used to be on Nickelodeon, but rarely comes on anymore.
But "Far From Home" is available on DVD on Amazon :)
 I thought it was a fair tribute to Ginger and (her most memorable boyfriend), Darren.

SECRETLY AFRAID

Father, i love you so
but some images haunt me, although
i care for you
but sometimes, the things you do....
they make me cry
i don't know why
but despite all this, i know you mean well....

CHORUS:
I secretly cried
I secretly lied
to those faint little heartbeats inside
of me
and secretly am in fear
my dear
cos im secretly afraid
END OF CHORUS

I listened for you heading up the stairs
those familar footsteps, they left me in despair
the way you sweared
it made me feel like you didn't care
it made me cry
and i don't know why
but despite all this, i know you mean well....

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I'm sorry (im sorry)
I'm sorry (im sorry)
i cryed in front of you
I'm sorry (im sorry)
I'm sorry (im sorry)
if you ever felt this way too
and.....

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
sorry, sorry sorry
sorry, sorry sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
for......mmmmhmmm...yea-ah

CHORUS


im secretly waiting
im secretly waiting
im secretly waiting
on those days
when i learn how to not be afraid.....

My dad. he's not bad or anything, don't worry.  you know, he just gets a little short-tempered somtimes. i pretty much took that,and tried to make it something bigger than it was.

THE REAL ME

my goodness, would you look at the time?
seems like so many years have just.....passed me by
usta be that little spazzy girl everyone usta pick on
but that seems like so long.....ago
but i guess i'm still like that around my closest friends
but i just wish this would all end

PRE-CHORUS:
cuz so much has happened this past few years
priorities shuffled around, even a few shed tears
so hold on tight, hold on tight my dear....

CHORUS:
im trusting, trusting in you
and i hope you're the kinda guy
who says and means what you do
because you're the first person i'm gonna tell
hell
no, you don't!
and i wish you'd see....
see the real me
END OF CHORUS

friendships changed
and faded away
but one thing's stayed the, stayed the same
this life trys to keep us apart
but i know that this only the start.....

CHORUS


BRIDGE:
now i wish you'd IM me
i wish you'd email me
i wish you'd call me
i wish you would pull me and aside to talk to me
only, only so you can see....
yeah

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS (x2)

see the real me....oooo, oh-oh

 BLIND


Well, let me lay it down straight
your awesome, but hey hey
there's someone else
got a crazy little secret obsession
and I'm sorta glad no one's catchin'
on but...

2 weeks from now he'll be leavin
Inside I'm silently greiving
cos I'm missing my (I'm missing my)
I'm missing my chance!

CHORUS
And I keep on wondering why
I had to be so blind
caught up in another romance
oh, i think i missed my chane
And I keep on wondering why....
END OF CHORUS

Well, i guess
I'm in a little bit of a mess
cos I'm wrecked
cos i got a little crazy feeling
you're the thing to my heart reeling
oh yeah....oh no

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
la la la la
everything's fading away
la la la la
just wanna make it ok
please hear what i have to say....

I admit that I'm blind...
couldn't see

very well-written!!!

and very lyrics-like too (hope you know what i mean :wink: )

i especially like the way you repeat phrases

``                                   i didn't know, i didn't know
                           now i know, now i know
``
                       just listen, just listen

    ``                          i used to... i used to

GUYS LIKE YOU


She's that girl
the world
revolves around her.
She's the twisted version of the girl-next-door
no, i don't wanna hear anymore.

And you're Mr. Popularity
you acutally used to see something in me
but that's all over now
you're the twisted version of the guy i've known forever
no, but i don't wanna be together...


CHORUS:
im tired of changing
im tired of rearranging
im tired of making
this stupid plans
they'll never work
cos you're turning into a jerk
i don't wanna be in love
no i've had enough
of guys like you.
END OF CHORUS


Well, two years ago
i never would've thought you'd go this low
and you don't care
you're the twisted version of the mysterious guy
you're so two-faced, i know you know, don't lie...

CHORUS


BRIDGE:
I'm almost laughing through my tears
thinking you'd be standing with me here
well you're the twisted version of the star quarterback
and to think i thought this would last...

CHORUS

cos you're changing,
yeah you're changing
you're changing
and i don't wanna be in love
no, i know i've had enough
of guys like.....you

BACKGROUND NOISE

Whatever happened to that guy
all dreamy-eyed, and you didn't care what people thought
now you're popular
and i can't believe this is what the future brought....

CHORUS:
I'm like the graffitti on the wall, gettin' written all over
I'm like a drunk guy, you tell me to call once im sober
I'm just the background noise in your life
im not important to you, anymore


i remember the times i made you smile
it made me feel like it was worthwhile....
now im trying to catch my breath
thinking what happened since back then?

CHORUS

Well, i guess i was wrong
you're not like the boy in my favorite song
well i guess i was wrong
you're not as strong.....
as i thought...

CHORUS


don't need this
no, no, no, no, no
(x3)

you're such a stupid little boy
i don't wanna be your background noise
