Nowadays (lyrics)
 

Hi everybody. I have been looking for a place to post lyrics for a long time. I have found several places, but none of them actually give me any criticism. It would be great to hear back on this. Thank you!

Knowing that I need hope
And having it are two different things
This is not working out
I need you to see things differently

We were perfect
Then we fell off the edge
Everything was beautiful
But the fights became a wedge

Nowadays, you are on my mind
I know we can’t see each other
Need to live in different colors
But right now you think we’re fine
I don’t have the heart to tell you
There is nothing else I can do
Let me draw outside the lines

I see you
Standing on the street
Who are you waiting for?
And why is it not me?

I can give you what you need
If you let me, if you show me

But you won’t so I give up
Can’t stand this when it’s tough
It was easy being with you
But now I know I’m just being used


Nowadays, you are on my mind
I know we can’t see each other
Live our lives in different colors
But right now we’re fine
I don’t have the heart to tell you
There’s nothing else I can do
Let me draw outside the lines

Tell me why you don’t want me
When before you said that was all you wanted
You went from real to being haunted
Nowadays, you are on my mind
I know we can’t see each other
Live our lives in different colors
But right now we’re fine
I don’t have the heart to tell you
There’s nothing else I can do
Let me draw outside the lines

Let me draw a picture not by your side
So I can see things in a different light

The lyrics are just of my style, this is what I mostly write about - frustration for love. But to be honest, I can't imagine these lyrics fit in any melody, due to so much entanglement in the scheme of writing you used here. This is something that only the individual who has written the lyrics, will be able to find a melody for it. :)
