    Here is my alternative chorus lyrics: Umbrella Follow my lead it’s now or never I’m with you for worse or better No I’ll never leave your side Look in my eyes you’ll see no lies Take my hand you won’t regret it All your tears, love will erase it Fear no terror in the night Whatever it takes we’ll stand and fight 😆

    Hey Jeff! Yes it would. Of course this should only be looked at as a writing exercise to loosen up your songwriting muse. Not a method for writing and publishing an original work. I’d strongly advise against that :)

    this is called "Stars Above" Your destiny cannot be programmed; God won't give you a helping hand, life is never dictated by a letter on a page, you learn more as you age on. The stars above are never in your favour no matter what you do. Work it out or get the harder end of the shoe. People may leave, People may come Sometimes those hardships will make you come undone... (Chorus): Just go and take it; No need to go and fake it; Every goal is a goal worth breaking; Luck will not be your virtue; It will go and forsake you, Your life is a life worth loving. Don't rely on the stars above. Not everyone will become a heir of fame and gold, That's a common lie that's been once too many told, Go choreograph your dance through the fire and thunder, Sex n' love is fun to plunder, but time is not a concept to take for granted. Advantages to attain goals come and go; Try not to berieve yourself of those chances. Fly away rocket ship, Find a way among the stars, Bye and wave to what your former self mistook. It's for your benefit alright. (Chorus) Stars Above!... (Final Chorus) Stars Above.

    After the memory exercise I dropped what I was doing and wrote this about my lowest point this year / in my life. Trigger Warning: depression/suicide. (Don't worry I'm much better now.) :) The westbound train is coming but I don't want to go home People around on their phones and I'm sitting on the ground alone Even the subway smell can't snap me out of my head If I don't do this now I'll be left with more dread I really don’t wanna go on I hope you know I love you Mom You haven't gotten a goodbye Really don't mean to make you cry You haven't gotten a goodbye Really don't mean to make you cry Trying to replay my whole life before the train arrives Just in case it doesn't happen in the moments before I die Who's this fucking girl sobbing on the subway floor This isn't what I had planned for myself before I really don’t wanna go on I hope you know I love you Mom You haven't gotten a goodbye Really don't mean to make you cry Really don’t mean to make you cry You'll never get a goodbye Really don't mean to make you cry I truly did try

    I wrote a song called I don't want you anymore and I really want to get into songwriting so feel free to give comments I can take it ;). Easily. That's how you broke my heart yesterday.. Oh yeah And now I know That you don't deserve me anyway I'm better off without you And I mean what I say So just get going Baby (Boy or Girl) and keep drifting away Chorus: I'm glad that I don't have you now I'm so good I'm so free I can be anyone I wanna be (Boy or Girl) You kept me in captivity So let's go let me out Cause I don't want you anymore Verse 2: Yesterday You came up to me And u said That u don't wanna be By my side but that's fine Cause I don't want u anymore Chorus: I'm glad that I don't have you now I'm so good I'm so free I can be anyone I wanna be (Boy or Girl) U kept me in captivity So let's go let me out Cause I don't anymore Bridge: Maybe I was wrong Just overreacting I tend to bitch sometimes But still we lost our magic Just find someone new That u can call ur friend You really broke the trust And broke my heart instead Chorus: I'm glad that I don't have u now I'm so good I'm so free I can be anyone I wanna be (Boy or girl) u kept in captivity So let's go let me out Cause I don't want you anymore Thank you 4 reading :)

    I'm on my third day of doing this, and every time I see "Basket Case" I smile, because when I was in middle school (the 90's), I wrote an entire lyric sheet - verses, choruses, and everything - to the melodies of that song. I think it was called "Stoned Bums," and it was supposed to be the theme song of a band I wanted to make called The Stoned Bums. There were going to be three of us, like Beastie Boys, and we were all going to bleach our hair blonde. I wish I still had those lyrics - probably good for a laugh!

    First Attempt : When Did You Loose Track Of Time.. Saying We’d Be Friends “Forever”.. Did You Loose Hope? Or just Grow away..? I remember when we met.. First time seeing each other.. I knew ( I Did I did I did..) That We’d Be Friends.. But I Guess I was Not in the right mind to think we’d Be Friends.. You broke my heart a couple times.. Gave You To Many Chances To Apologize.. I know we all make Mistakes But You Made Them To Many Times.. You Always ( High Note ) Leave me out! Shoo Me Away Like I’m A Fly... But I’m not! I’m Human Just like You (Yououou) I Guess I should say thank You for Makin’ Me Realize That Baby Your not like the rest! You just wanna Break my heart! You made me feel like A bag.. Blowing Away In The Wind.. Where did the old you Gooo? The You Now Isn’t Who You Are.. And You Know Who You are! Your just a stranger! A stranger to me at heart! You don’t deserve My Love! So just get in your car and Go! (Go go go!) You Made Me Cry... Made Me Feel Like Nothing.. Do You Actually Care..? You were like a sibling to me.. Where did everything about you Go.. Did That new Friend Of yours Take It..? But You Were Mine.. I Miss You.. With You I was A beautiful mess.. Made me feel So Special! But now.. You Just Threw Me And Our memories Away.. I hope your happy with her.. I remember all the times we sat on the beach. Stayed up on the phone listening too all your drama! Remember when you said I was your numba 1? Well I guess not anymore.. You Have her.. And I’ll Be Here If you come back.. One day.. You will (You Will...) ( Soft voice) Come Back... The End :P Was It Good Sorry If Not xP Called “ Come Back..”

Thought it was done, but I Guess it's never really over three days and not like that my mind never takes me back i knew it finished, but i dont guess its always nearly over oh we were such a dream but it really was the best ever? i knew it finished but i dont guess its always nearly over.

    12:20 4) Stream of consciousness. Story or string of words doesn’t have to rhyme or connect. Don’t overthink it. Don’t know what to say I rarely do and I don’t mind People exhaust me most the time Am I doing this practice right? There is a robe that’s on my light I put it on when it is night I like to hide inside my room And try to learn bout writing tunes It’s like my latest thing to do To fill my time so I can’t cry about the life that passed me by I take the chemicals I like They keep me warm and feeling right I know it’s not really a life…

    Original lyrics: Think I'll start a fire (I will burn it down) The house with all the liars (The ones who sold us out) Drowning all these memories drenched in gasoline All our enemies soaked in glycerine We light the match and we run like hell Run like hell Run like hell So we build that funeral pyre And start a fire My lyrics: You should've been wiser (Nowhere to run now) Your cries, now a reminder (Of the fire that you put out) And the memories will never go away So you better get on your knees and pray That your ashes bring the peace we crave No tears will be left on your graves And we'll no longer be your slaves All this time wasted on your lies Are your demise

    Ms. Emma. I have a question again but this time it's about what I've did at the "Ghost Writer" last month it's because. when I've done 1 of that lyric writing exercises last July.... I've used 1 of my favorite country songs "These Days" by my idol country band "Rascal Flatts" and the thing is when I was on those lines.... I've really changed the lyrics of that song into the reasons why I dedicate that song to my friend (and also my 1st Love) who've dumped or rejected me So. is it really alright to do that thing?.... 'cause for me it's really embarrassing?
