    My entry! :)
    Explantation: Yesterday my teacher Dutch told us about this fourteen-year-old boy he was a teacher of six years ago. The tricky thing: the boy had leukaemia, a form of cancer. He went to the hospital a lot and did many things for the pour boy. Sadly he died. You could see it had really impacted him. And so did the story impact me. I always use deep feeling to write, it's my outlet. so I wrote this song "knock you down" about how it would feel like to be a teacher or a friend of someone with cancer. Verse 1 and verse 2 and the chorus are about wanting the person to fight, because you don't wanna lose them. The bridge speaks for itself and the last chorus is about knowing that it's better like that.

    Knock You Down

    Verse 1:
    Don’t take a second to turn around
    You have no time to look now
    Keep your head held up high
    As you watch how cancer makes you cry
    The times has come to stay strong
    You can’t permit to do anything wrong
    This horrible war is getting bloody
    You’re battling against your own body

    Chorus 1:
    Don’t let your knees shake
    Don’t let your thoughts break
    Chin up, shoulders back
    Don’t ever think you can’t
    Don’t let it knock you down
    Though you don’t know how


    Verse 2:
    There you stood hearing what illness you had
    Hearing that you can’t go back
    And then you lost your hair
    Don’t let it break you down, you’re almost there
    But you can’t wish anymore
    Not since you had cancer knocking on your door
    Of course I know you don’t wanna fight
    But you’ll have to ‘cause I wanna see you smile

    Repeat Chorus 1

    Bridge:
    You close your eyes
    Say you can’t fight
    Leave me alone I wanna cry
    There’s the goodbye
    You say it’s time
    And I, I watched you die
    Die, oh, no no

    Chorus 2:
    Now your knees don’t shake
    Now your thoughts can’t break
    Eyes closed, laying back
    Tears of your crying dad
    Non one can knock you down
    You’re safes now


    Bridge:
    Safer now
    Safer now
    Chin up, shoulders back
    Safer now
    Ooh,
    No one can knock you down
    You’re safer now

    RE: Songwriting Swities Contest

    I'll enter with my song. Beautiful Naturally. I've posted it on TC before so you might have seen it already. :)

    I don't really know how to explain this, haha, the song is pretty self-explanatory to be honest. But basically, my whole life I've been completely natural, I never wear makeup, I have curly hair, never dyed it, etc. and for some reason I get judged because of it. And I somehow came up with this song!

    Beautiful Naturally

    Verse 1:
    Why should I straighten my hair,
    Don�t wanna look like all the other girls,
    Why should I cover up my face,
    In so much make-up, it�s such a disgrace,
    Don�t you know we�re supposed to have flaws,
    Were supposed to be individual,
    So why are you tryna get to me,
    It�s my life, oh can�t you see�


    Chorus:
    Don�t you know God made me like this,
    So why should I hide behind a mask,
    Can�t you see I just wanna be me,
    I just wanna be beautiful naturally.


    Verse 2:
    I like the colour of my skin,
    Don�t wanna cover up in fake tan,
    I like the colour of my hair,
    So why should I go totally out there,
    You say you�re just trying to help,
    Baby, I can look after myself,
    So why are you tryna get to me,
    It�s my life, oh can�t you see�


    Chorus:
    Don�t you know God made me like this,
    So why should I hide behind a mask,
    Can�t you see I just wanna be me,
    I just wanna be beautiful naturally.


    Verse 3:
    This is the way I am,
    Don�t wanna be anything else,
    Without my glasses where would I be,
    Contact lenses just aren�t for me,
    I know that�s the way that you are,
    I ain�t got a problem, you�re still a star,
    So why are you tryna get to me,
    It�s my life, oh can�t you see�


    Chorus:
    Don�t you know God made me like this,
    So why should I hide behind a mask,
    Can�t you see I just wanna be me,
    I just wanna be beautiful naturally.


    Outro:
    Don�t you know God made me like this,
    So why should I hide behind a mask?



    I hope you liked it! :)

    My Entry! "Save Me"

    Chorus
    I need you to save me, somebody save me
    Save me from this tragedy
    I'm holding onto nothing, someone save me
    He's far away yet so near to my heart
    Somebody save me, save me from this lie
    My soul has ended, save my life
    Somebody save me, save me

    Verse
    The ghost of him is behind my back
    Yet when I turn around he is not in my sight
    I think I'm going crazy, please please save me
    Save me before I die

    Pre-Chorus
    It's like my whole life is a lie
    Is this reality, maybe I'm dreaming
    I can't hold on anymore
    Where is my hero, is he the only one
    Who can bring me out of my second life

    Chorus
    I need you to save me, somebody save me
    Save me from this tragedy
    I'm holding onto nothing, someone save me
    He's far away yet so near to my heart
    Somebody save me, save me from this lie
    My soul has ended, save my life

    Verse
    He may not be right here, but I can feel him
    I still remember all that was said
    I can hear his haunting voices
    Why must they keep running through my head?

    Chorus
    I need you to save me, somebody save me
    Save me from this tragedy
    I'm holding onto nothing, someone save me
    He's far away yet so near to my heart
    Somebody save me, save me from this lie
    My soul has ended, save my life

    Chorus
    I need you to save me, somebody save me
    Save me from this tragedy
    I'm holding onto nothing, someone save me
    He's far away yet so near to my heart
    Somebody save me, save me from this lie
    My soul has ended, save my life

    RE: Songwriting Swities Contest

    Hey!

    This is a song I just wrote called The Joke Is On You

    Its basically about this boy at school who is always trying to bring me down to make himself look good. The song is saying how he used to upset me with his comments but now I don't care and I just ignore him and he doesn't bring me down now, so the joke is on him.

    [Verse 1]
    The tiring days and the long nights
    Are catching up with me
    I just need a hand to hold tight
    and maybe a cup of tea

    Look at you with all those other girls
    Around you
    But you don't see my pain you
    Don't have a clue
    That your words used to hurt me like a bruise

    But now the joke is on you

    [Chorus]
    You thought you put me down
    The joke's on you
    Think you deserve a crown?
    You've got nothing better to do
    I guess the joke is on you

    [Verse 2]
    The sly remarks and the evil laugh
    Won't be getting to me
    I'll just go back through the photographs
    Of when I was free

    Look at you loosing more friends by the
    second
    It looks like you're running out of
    weapons
    To use against me

    [Chorus]

    [Bridge]
    I'm not bothered by what you say
    And you can't make me go the same way
    As you
    It's not what I want to do
    I'll get through
    But I'm not so sure about you

    [Chorus]

    ha ha

    [Chorus]

    The Joke is on you
    Its on you
    Joke is on you

    Hi! Here's my song/entry, I just finished writing it! It's called 'I Wish I Had'

    I Wish I Had

    Verse 1

    All alone, in a corner crying
    What should I do?
    I guess that I should go
    Find someone who's better than you
    There are these days
    That I wish I never met you
    You keep scratching me
    And leaving scars on my heart

    Chorus
    There are some days
    I wish I had someone who wouldn't hurt me
    Someone who didn't push me down
    All I did was love you
    And all you did was hurt
    I wish I had no more pain anymore
    I wish that you would go away

    Verse 2
    I wish that I was strong enough to get you away
    Why would you ever wanna hurt me?
    I never did anything to hurt you
    Really, all I did was love you
    And now you left me cold, in the dust
    And now you're green with envy
    It's showing in your smile {Repeat Chorus}

    Bridge
    I can't let you hurt me anymore
    I can't let you leave me here anymore
    I wish I had your love and not your hurt
    My heart can't take it anymore
    I just can't take it anymore
    I wish I couldn't take this anymore
    I wish I couldn't take this anymore {Repeat Chorus}

    Outro
    All alone in a corner crying
    What should I do?
    I wish I had someone better than you

    Hey!

    This is a song I just wrote called The Joke Is On You

    Its basically about this boy at school who is always trying to bring me down to make himself look good. The song is saying how he used to upset me with his comments but now I don't care and I just ignore him and he doesn't bring me down now, so the joke is on him.

    [Verse 1]
    The tiring days and the long nights
    Are catching up with me
    I just need a hand to hold tight
    and maybe a cup of tea

    Look at you with all those other girls
    Around you
    But you don't see my pain you
    Don't have a clue
    That your words used to hurt me like a bruise

    But now the joke is on you

    [Chorus]
    You thought you put me down
    The joke's on you
    Think you deserve a crown?

    I'll enter! This is my entry called How To Live.

    It is basically about when someone leaves you for someone else and you're telling yourself that there is someone out there who is your soulmate! I hope you like it!

    How To Live

    Verse 1
    If you really did love me
    You'd be right beside me
    But you're not, I guess you forgot
    About everything you told me
    How you kissed me so slowly
    But that's alright, I'll survive the night


    Chorus
    I won't make the same mistakes
    Like I did when I was lonely
    I have my whole life to wait
    For someone who can show me
    Just what love is
    And how to live


    Verse 2
    So maybe you're overwhelmed with regret
    You could be sitting there crying you're so upset
    But you've had a hollowed heart, right from the start
    So take her, I don't care, I won't care, I'll never
    But one day you'll watch me fall like a feather


    Chorus
    I won't make the same mistakes
    Like I did when I was lonely
    I have my whole life to wait
    For someone who can show me
    Just what love is
    And how to live


    Bridge
    Maybe you'll find love
    And maybe you'll find sorrow
    There might be enough
    To last till tomorrow
    You have to know now
    It's not your free will to hurt me
    Someday you'll be shown how
    There's someone there waiting


    Chorus
    But I won't make the same mistakes
    Like I did when I was lonely
    I have my whole life to wait
    For someone who can show me
    Just what love is
    And how to live

    The battle is in my hands
    But you're killing off each soldier
    I don't know if I can stand
    To watch you hold her closer
    But you still won't learn
    And you can't show her
    Just what love is
    And how to live
    And how to live

    Goodbye forever

    I miss your brown eyes, but I won't admit it to you. I miss how you called me baby but I keep denying it. Now we're not talking, awkwardly passing by eachother, I'm surprised you moved on so quickly. I can't help but wonder though if you miss me. I know I can be jealous, but I'm sorry.

    (chorus)
    No more late night phone calls. No more kisses, no more surprises. No more making up after fights. This is goodbye forever. (end)

    All the pictures are erased, your number is deleted, although I still see your face I'm moving on the best I can. I'm fine without you. Oppisite sides of the room, trying not to make eye contact, I know we'll have to say something soon, but now I can't.

    (repeat chorus)

    Girls are now all over you, I'm not wishing it was me, I'm moving on, I know we have to face eachother soon. I'm being strong. I know how I can be and I'm sorry. I know we're not getting back together so goodbye forever.

    Song Title: Why Are You So Mean

    Song Explanation: I really liked this guy in my grade who was part of the "popular" group (I'm soooo not) and I thought I could convince him to like me back, but instead he just kept making fun of me (even to my face) with his friends, as I sat there dreaming about him. Finally my friends talked me out of it and I realized after 3 years of me not-so-subtly dropping hints that he was sooooo not worth it. So, I wrote a song about it and now I like another guy. (He's part of the "popular" group too!) What is it with me and "popular" boys??? Well they make for great songs!!!! ;)

    Lyrics:

    Verse 1:
    learned when I was young that I was different
    that no one could really understand me,
    so I locked up my heart and threw away the key,
    but that was before I met you
    and before I knew....

    Refrain:
    That I'd hate your digs your jokes and sarcastic remarks
    that I'd hate your laugh, your stare or your infamous smirk
    you like to lie
    no matter how hard it makes me cry
    why can't you see
    how painful this is for me
    why do you stare
    why do you care
    why does it matter
    if my life shatters
    what do you gain
    by causing me pain,
    why are you so mean
    to me

    Verse 2:
    at first I had a crush on you
    I really thought we'd see it through,
    I really thought I might marry you,
    I might have been crazy
    or was I just to lazy
    to find a better guy

    Bridge~:
    I saw you almost everyday
    I thought someday you'd see me that way,
    now I don't know if you'll ever notice me
    and if you do I don't know if I'll even care

    Verse 3:
    one day it started to hurt
    your digs, jokes, and sarcastic remarks
    yours stares, laughs and infamous smirk,
    I started to get the feeling your one big jerk
    and that's when I realized...

    REPEAT REFRAIN

    Verse 4:
    I tried to ignore,
    pretend you were a bore,
    I realized I didn't like you anymore
    and I'm really sure!
    Now me and my friends talk about you
    and laugh about you
    and we know....

    Refrain:
    Were sick of your digs, your jokes, and sarcastic remarks
    we don't like your laugh, your stare or your infamous smirk,
    you like to lie
    even though it used to make me cry
    why couldn't you see
    how painful that was for me
    why did you stare
    why did you even care
    why did it matter
    if my life shattered
    what did you gain
    by causing me pain,
    why were you so mean
    to me

    Goodbye forever

    I miss your brown eyes, but I won't admit it to you. I miss how you called me baby but I keep denying it. Now we're not talking, awkwardly passing by eachother, I'm surprised you moved on so quickly. I can't help but wonder though if you miss me. I know I can be jealous, but I'm sorry.

    (chorus)
    No more late night phone calls. No more kisses, no more surprises. No more making up after fights. This is goodbye forever. (end)

    All the pictures are erased, your number is deleted, although I still see your face I'm moving on the best I can. I'm fine without you. Oppisite sides of the room, trying not to make eye contact, I know we'll have to say something soon, but now I can't.

    (repeat chorus)

    Girls are now all over you, I'm not wishing it was me, I'm moving on, I know we have to face eachother soon. I'm being strong. I know how I can be and I'm sorry. I know we're not getting back together so goodbye forever.


    Thanks for entering! You did a great job!
