All of these are early drafts, one from forever ago(first) and the others from like an hour ago. Both are still rough draft, still in poem form. I edit them down to songs, adding and omitting things that fit and music.


It's gonna be kinda slow, and then totally amp up...
Not Your Girl
Woke up early this mornin,
phone ringin head bangin,
Your name flashed on the screen as images filled my mind.
the cause of the tears I cried last night.
Oh, I loved you,
but I guess that just wasn't enough.

Answer the phone,
determined not to care anymore,
Oh I've heard it all before.
"I'm so sorry"
"Girl it didn't meant a thing"
"it was just a kiss."

Same lines,
different times,
not falling for it again.
THought I was differnent,
not just one of many,
guess I was wrong.

Don't hear the lies falling from your lips lilke sweet poison.
No not anymore
Tears wash away all of my pain.
Done falling for you.
Made your choice,
I'm makin mine.

Don't bother comin back again, I won't let you in.
Slam the dor in your face,
I'm done with the pain
I'm done with the lies,
And oh baby I'm done with your cheatin ass!

So kiss her again,
Hold her tight,
bet you wish it was me tonight,

But I'm done,
MOvin on,
Got a new man,
MIght as well dream on.

I'm not your girl anymore.




Already Gone
Going insane,
Leaning over the edge,
Can't believe all the things I've left unsaid.


My emotions aren't my own,
But I'll keep holding on,
Till I reach my goal.

Your reaching out,
In the distance I see,
but there's all these barriers,
Blocking your arms reach.

I have to tak down these walls,
If I want my life to be my own.
So many years they're protected me,
But now I miss the feeling of thust,
The use of my heart.
Desperate for a smile that doesn't feel plastered on.
Willing to take the risks,
Just for your kiss.

At last I feel them come crashing down,
Falling at my feet,
Attempt to reach you,
Smiling in triumph,
Finally able to be with you,
But it's too late,
Your already gone.





My smile doesn't quite reach eyes,
My tears I try my best to hide.

But it's useless,
It's pointless,
Any fool can see I'm hopelessly in love with you.

You used to adore me,
Now you ignore me.

I used to feel wanted,
Now I'm just in the way again.

So I suppose I'll just keep going,

If you want her take her.
I won't stand in your way,
Won't be Second best,
Won't lose this race.

Learn to love again, get you out from under my skin.
Tell myself I don't need you,
Maybe someday it''l be the truth.
