The sky was as clear as an hourglass
with some clouds, like time, that would pass
When you kissed my lips and held my hand
didn’t matter if no one could understand
how in the world the wind brought us here
where love is true in the fields of fear
No I didn’t care what any of them were saying
I wasn’t going anywhere, I was staying
I was staying
I was staying
I was staying
Oh I was staying
Didn’t matter what any of them had to say
I wasn’t gonna leave you anyway
You know that I’m hurt, but I accept
you wanted more when I had nothing left
I gave you everything I held close inside
afraid that it would break and die
I guess forever never cleared the haze
as your heart was blinded by the sun’s rays
Some wonders we just can’t control or let go
and there are some things we just need to know
but
I was staying
I was staying
I was staying
Oh I was staying
Had many good times, so I’m not complaining,
even though it hurt so bad that it was raining
I felt the raindrops falling down my face
to the very place I’d feel your grace
When you said so softly that we should break up
I tried hiding the hurt, but it wasn’t enough
Ohhhh it hurt and man I cried
and man you know you’d never see me cry
until you looked at me dead in the eyes
I already knew…exactly why
I watched the sunset but never said goodbye
‘cause you know the next day there’s a sunrise,
so
I’m still staying
I’m staying
I’m staying
Oh I’m staying
It’s alright you didn’t know at the time
that six months later it’d become a lie
Maybe when he hurts you, you’ll finally believe
that your only one...was always me
I know he doesn’t love you and it won’t be long
before you come back and admit you were wrong
You may be wrong, but we all need time
to figure out what is wrong and right
so
I am staying
I am staying
I am staying
Oh I am always staying
And I guess no one is really wrong
we all just need to find…where we belong
And I guess no one is really wrong
we all just need to find…where we belong

I didn't imagine violins with this. I'm interested to know what the tune is like and what kind of style you imagine this being.
When I first started reading I imagined it in a sort of emo-style, but as it went along the words seemed more country-style.
Been a while, I know. Nice to see some rhymes from you. -
-
Yeah, it has been a loooooong time.
Thank you.

:D
Very well done, amazing! Everything falls into place, I can nearly hear it. Fantastic job!
-
You're good. Almost too good.
This really helped me, though, with my rhyme scheme and theme and stuff like that for my lyrics. I'm stuck on the chorus right now, but I think I've got it now.
Thankies very mucho!
And listening to my favorite Hanson cassette tape really helps, too.

No problem!
But a quick question, if just one person doesn't get their entry in by Tuesday, will everyone else be able to get their pre-scores? -
-
Nope. It's all or nothing.
-
-
Darn.
Trust me, I'm working my butt off!

Well, you have proved my point again... adolescents write the best love stuff. Emo in a good way.
