How did I grow so fond of you so soon?
How can your arms feel so soft around me?
How is it that my heart opened up so fast?
How come I feel so good just leaning on you?
Chorus: Answer me this
Don’t walk away
Just stay where
You are and
Answer me this.
How did those blue eyes manage to soothe my soul?
How can I feel so satisfied yet still want more of you?
How is it that those lips seem made to kiss mine?
How come I don’t feel so alone anymore?
(Chorus)
How did I read you so wrong?
How can I feel so broken yet still feel you were worth it?
How is it you get to walk away from this unexplained?
How come my heart bleeds so much from such a small cut?
Author notes
It started out as a poem, but ended up as a song. I let a friend sing it with his girl but I was not that impressed with the way the song turned out and they changed some words which I was not happy with at all. Especially coz they didn't warn me. If your interested in hearing the song by all means let me know, but it's not that great. I will let you decide for yourself how it sounds in your heart. It was something really silly the person that inspired me to write this never really meant that much to me but I decided to write this because of his lies...
I think it speaks for all women who are cut so deep, kind of like the cheryl crow song...Actually I believe this is kind of a prelude to her song "The First Cut Is The Deepest". So in away Cheryl Crow was my inspiration along with the guy.
This is also an old one from May 2005

Cool!
Actually Cheryl Crow covered Rod Stewart on that song. It is an interesting song, because it can work from the male or female point of view. Nice take on it my friend. Write on! ~Gar

Thanks!!! I knew it wasn't her own song but coudln't figure out whose it was!! And the encouragement is just what I need

I would like to hear this. Cheryl Crow rocks! I used to write a lot of songs before I started writing poetry. I like the way it sounds in my head anyway. Cool.

heh heh I actually think Cheryl Crow is annoying LOL But that doesn't mean she isnt inspirational. She just does this retarded thing in videos which makes me want to barf, she is all obsessed with moving her lips all sexy and shit it is dumb...BUT this song isn't supposed to sound like her...I don't think so anyways. But who knows maybe I should sell it to her? Just kidding!! I would never even hope to sell this song. I just think it really fits what happens in alot of first relationships..so sweet and in love and perfect when bam all of a sudden someones left in the dark with noone to explain WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED? Yeah But Glad you like it. I am actually looking for someone to try to do it right or to give it their best shot...If ya want to listen to the crappy version just send me a message with your email and I will email it... I think I can do that...I think...

Thats really kool. I'd be interested in hearing it, that is the only problem would be that I hardly ever get on because of recent events but yeah. Anyway
I like the Cheryl Crow inspiration and I can see how that inspired you. I like the constant questioning. But for some reason I probably would need to hear it sometime to get the full jist of it because I'm feeling something is missing. But overall its a great write and good luck in the contest.

P.S. "How did I read you so wrong?
How can I feel so broken yet still feel you were worth it?
How is it you get to walk away from this unexplained?
How come my heart bleeds so much from such a small cut?"
I really liked the ending!! -

Well I could email it to you but I do NOT like the song that was recorded for me at all. In my mind i see the verses being soft and gentle like evenesence or however you spell that band, then the chorus being angry and almost yelling kind of like Linkin Park or....chad kruger? And the last Verse I always saw it more along the lines of both woman and man singing together but hauntingly quiet...almost with no music at all, but not whiney!! I really do hate the version I had a friend make, they did not give me what I asked for at ALL...They just took it and made it all..yucky lol. But if you do prefer to hear it then maybe I can email it to you if you would like. thanks for the comment and The last verse is my favorite as well!!

I think you did great with this song. It says so much that should be said.
-

thank you very much, I took it deeper than the relationship actually was but that is because i always feel things in more depth it seems than alot of people and besides i had been listening to sheryl crow right before i started writing it the first part was hard but the rest after that came BAM really really fast... ty very much
