You're a golden boy in the world of one-liners
You say nothing, but you say it so pretty
Dolled up so dramatic, you know it has to sell
And I've got a story that I'm begging you to tell
So write me a miracle
Write me a song that tells of...
Hipbones crashing in the dark
Just leave out all the ugly parts
The tragic hangover hearts
That tell the sad truth of who we are
[Sing to me, say you'll save me]
I'm not the first girl to ever kneel before you
And I know I'm far from being the last
You have to steal my heart because you've lost your own
And I'll keep you here, so I don't have to be alone
So write me a miracle
Write me a song that tells of...
Hipbones crashing in the dark
Just leave out all the ugly parts
The tragic hangover hearts
That tell the sad truth of who we are
[Sing to me, say you'll save me]
I heard you could find the words for anything
You're all I've got now, so make this convincing
Write me a song that tells of...
Hipbones crashing in the dark
Just leave out all the ugly parts
The tragic hangover hearts
That tell the sad truth of who we are
[Sing to me, say you'll save me]
Author notes
This song was inspired by a male lyricist, and it is not necessarily from my point of view (there's definitely a tongue-in-cheek aspect to it). That's all I'll say. Heh.
Please tell me what you think

I wish I could somehow depict how much I'm blushing right now. Haha. Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it.

Ah, a nicely written piece indeed. Is this male lyricist someone famous or local? Hm. I love the chorus, it would be great to hear set on music. I'd really love to hear your songs someday.
"And I'll keep you here, just so I won't feel so alone"
--I don't know if I like two "so"'s so close but I dont' know how you could change it. But I like this line a lot. The idea behind it.
You're too good with lyrics, my friend.

P.S. I would really love to hear my songs someday, too. Haha. I have yet to record anything worth sharing yet, but I plan on getting the proper equipment to start doing so very soon. Trust me, when I have some decent recordings, I will make some kind of notice on here. If I ever actually get the damn things recorded.

Excuse me while I take a second to stop blushing. Hehe.
Seriously, thank you. It means a lot to get such encouraging comments from someone who really takes the time to read the song and give feedback. Especially someone who happens to be quite a writer herself.
It's funny-- I felt the same way about that line. I kept looking at it, trying to figure out how to change it. Nothing has come to mind yet, but perhaps it will come to me in time. Hmm... maybe "And I'll keep you here, so I don't have to be alone?" Yeah, I think I like that more. Hehe.
Oh, and about the subject of the song... he is famous. I have never met the man... and I'm not sure I'd want to. And that's all I'm saying! That's it! The world will never know. Bwhahahahahahahah!
