A Tune

I have been working on a new song. I wrote the basis of this shortly after my break up when I was at a really low point. These lyrics convey how I felt on those nights when I couldn’t sleep, when I wondered what I did wrong. This is still a work in progress, also it sounds better when it is sung, but these are the lyrics:

There’s a hole inside my heart,
it’s killing me, it’s tearing me apart.
There are bricks inside my chest
they weigh me down, won’t give me any rest.

I’m not saying my heart isn’t breaking
every time I look into your eyes
I’m not saying my soul isn’t shaken,
an aftermath of all of your lies.

I hate to say it, but you can’t kiss me anymore.
I hate the way that you taste when I’m not yours.
I just wish we could start over.

There are thoughts inside my head,
they keep me up, won’t give me any rest.
There are cracks within my bones,
it breaks me down to do this alone.

I’m not saying my heart isn’t breaking
every time I look into your eyes
I’m not saying my soul isn’t shaken,
an aftermath of all of your lies.

I hate to say it, but you can’t kiss me anymore.
I hate the way that you taste when I’m not yours.
I just wish we could start over.

Those are the first two verses and choruses. I will probably add some type of bridge in the near future. I’m super proud of myself for getting back into song writing because I had honestly dropped it for a while and I’m not sure why. It’s my favorite outlet for how I feel about things, and I think it is because it combines both of my passions. Thanks for reading!
