Angers Lie's
 

Hey you over there with the long hair
Will you lean over here and tell me your fears
Answer my question, was I wrong?

All I wanted was for you to see
You were the only thing that meant anything to me
I tried... I couldn’t see past your fucking eyes

You whispered softly in my ears
Replacing love with your desperate fears
I swore to you I wouldn’t leave
I made a promise that I would always keep

Never once did I question you
I always believed the words you said
Just like I believed you took no one else to bed

As if I couldn’t walk any more
I ran across the wooden floors I screamed at you
I pushed you away I made you feel like trash that day

As if I could ever do such a thing
It was a dream just like every meaningful thing you ever said

This one however, is wonderful, dear :)

The only line I don't like is...I made a promise that I would always keep

it just seems awkward, I don't know why...

This song is awful. 'Hey there you with the long hair' really sets the tone for the overall weakness of this song. The rhyming scheme goes off balance within the middle of the song, and then totally fades away towards the end. I'm sorry, but I think it's back to the drawing board for you..

Its not awful. She gets the point across clearly, while still making it rhyme and the fact that the rhyming scheme changes isn't a problem if its a mid-section, with a different vocal melody and rhythm.

Two things you should change are:
1. A lot of the individual phrases. Currently you get the point across, but its all a bit ugly, clumsy and unpoetic. This counts for a lot of the lines, so I'd suggest just look at each of them individually and see if you can alter them, one at a time even, to give them more style.
2. You use the word 'I' way, way too much. Written down, it visually stands out, like pimples on the face of the lyric. When its sung, as it isn't used as a hookline and doesn't seem to be used in a particularly rhythmic way, it sounds very repetitive. Not in a good way. The song is about you and somebody else, but that doesn't mean that you have to keep saying 'I' the whole way through though.

I really hate this song. I don't know why, I just do. Maybe it's not my cup of tea, but honestly I really dislike this.

thank you all... and i will look it over later on and see what i can change.. its alwasy good to hear some honest opinions.. bad or good.. thanks again

yeah that hair line is so cliche. lots of people have long hair. and maybe lose the swearing as well. it seems to early in the song. maybe stick it later in the song, give it more powerful delivery.

red i liked
italized is what i think it should be like
regular needs to be reworded some how
green i dont get
purple, you made a desperate jump from one buiding to the other, and didnt make it, but i still like(and get) what you are saying

theres something else that needs to be done badly, but i dont know how to explain it

edit: maybe make the stanzas link more to each other

WOW! thank Crazy Luv, i think your comments have been the most helpful so far.. and i really liked the parts you've changed but the one part you didn't highligfht the part that you should think should be chnaged i honestly don't know how to change it.. i really don't know what to change it to..

Never once did I question you
