    Here's my entry!! Woohoo!! FIRST ONE!!!

    Watch Me Walk Away

    Another moment
    Another time
    Another day
    Slips by
    No time to waste
    Gotta run away

    Maybe you'll regret
    Look back behind
    But I wouldn't bet
    Anything of mine
    I've moved on
    Moved so far today

    You'll try to look
    But you won't find any trace
    Cause I forgot
    Everything bout your face
    I was so blind
    Thinking you would stay
    But the joke's on you
    So watch me walk away


    Not a tear
    Slips past my guard
    Cause you boy,
    You made me hard
    I'm better off alone
    I believe in the end

    My heart never broke
    I'm standing tall
    I bet you thought
    You made me fall
    But I learned quick
    How to defend

    You'll try to look
    But you won't find any trace
    Cause I forgot
    Everything bout your face
    I was so blind
    Thinking you would stay
    But the joke's on you
    So watch me walk away


    Bridge
    It's over it's done
    The battle is won
    Just like I always
    Knew I would
    I've gone away
    Said my goodbye
    Never again
    Will I cry
    Over a boy like you

    You'll try to look
    But you won't find any trace
    Cause I forgot
    Everything bout your face
    I was so blind
    Thinking you would stay
    But the joke's on you
    So watch me walk away
    It's your turn now, to watch me walk away

    Here's my entry!
    Broken

    VERSE ONE
    Making time in my mind for you
    It really was a full time job
    You cluttered up all of my thoughts
    I couldn’t breathe with your arms around me
    You constricted my mobility
    Held me in place with a single word
    But I’m breaking out
    I’m setting fire to the memories

    CHORUS
    And here I am letting you go
    I’m tired of feeling so helpless
    Here you are so confused
    By what I’m saying
    But just know-o-o-o
    That those chains are broken

    VERSE TWO
    Your face permanently etched into my mind
    Your words somehow seem to find
    The worst possible time to remind me of what we had
    But sometimes in life people learn to let go
    And sometimes in life people realize what’s wrong
    And baby we’re not right

    BRIDGE
    Say hello to goodbye
    Say goodbye to me
    My heart is my own
    And finally I’m free

    CHORUS
    And here I am letting you go
    I’m tired of feeling so helpless
    Here you are so confused
    By what I’m saying
    But just know-o-o-o
    That those chains are broken

    Round One entry (free) :)

    Writer's note: this is about my teachers and my school and everybody all wanting me to know exactly where i'm going in life and to get perfect grades, and to live up to all their expectations that i know i could never possibly fulfil, and i just want to break free of all the pressure. :P

    verse one
    Sitting alone, all alone, staring out my window
    Wondering where my life is someday gonna go
    Hoping someone's going to tell me how to know
    Cos its so hard to say
    Maybe one day, imma be a politician
    or an actress, or perhaps a pro musician
    I don't know what to do and i dont know what to say

    chorus
    Maybe I don't wanna choose now
    Maybe i just want to let things stay the same
    Maybe I don't wanna say now,
    Maybe i just wanna let things go my way
    I know you don't agree with me
    But theres one thing i've gotta say to you:
    I'm not you, and your not me

    verse two
    Everybody's trying to tell me how to live
    Trying to sort my life, as if its like a sieve
    'if i don't go quickly everything will give'
    well, thats not how i roll!
    What if i don't want to decide here and now?
    Maybe i don't want to decide why and how
    I'm just a kid, I'll let things slide
    Things'll sort out in a while

    chorus
    Maybe I don't wanna choose now
    Maybe i just want to let things stay the same
    Maybe I don't wanna say now,
    Maybe i just wanna let things go my way
    I know you don't agree with me
    But theres one thing i've gotta say to you:
    I'm not you, and your not me

    bridge
    And what if i'm not an a-star girl
    what if im not smarter than the world?
    maybe i don't WANT to be
    Maybe i'm just me....

    (finish with chorus repeat, softer and quieter with guitar strums once each).

    Here's my entry! :D

    Lovesick Debris

    Secret Message: I'm Scared Of The Ocean

    Verse 1:
    I've gotten so used to the shape of your body,
    Now it's like the room is empty when your not there.
    No one seems to matter or quite understand it.
    Like your the only person who can make me care.


    Pre-Chorus 1:
    You ramble on, I laugh cause I can.
    You look in my eyes, then back out again.
    My arm linked with yours,
    You hand near my heart,
    So close, and now,
    We're miles apart.


    Chorus:
    How can this be?
    I don't wanna.
    I might wanna.
    Please don't lean on me,
    You don't wanna.
    You might wanna.
    We're better apart,
    Better together,
    You might wanna.
    I might wanna.
    How could this be?
    We're floating away,
    Are we friends, or
    Lovesick debris?


    Verse 2:
    I stare at your picture hanging in my heart.
    The frame was broken, pieces all over the floor.
    Watching us leave, two different doors everyday.
    I'm not keeping my word this time, all that I swore.


    Pre-Chorus 2:
    You saunter upstairs, I climb the hill.
    Something is wrong, the wind forever still.
    My arms embrace me.
    My fears reach my heart,
    So close, cause now,
    We're miles apart.


    Chorus:
    How can this be?
    I don't wanna.
    I might wanna.
    Please don't lean on me,
    You don't wanna.
    You might wanna.
    We're better apart,
    Better together,
    You might wanna.
    I might wanna.
    How could this be?
    We're floating away,
    Are we friends, or
    Lovesick debris?


    Bridge:
    We float along in the sea.
    Miles between our entities.
    We might meet again
    On a lonely island
    Cast away
    By yesterday.


    Chorus:
    How can this be?
    I don't wanna.
    I might wanna.
    Please don't lean on me,
    You don't wanna.
    You might wanna.
    We're better apart,
    Better together,
    You might wanna.
    I might wanna.
    How could this be?
    We're floating away,
    Are we friends, or
    Lovesick debris?


    Outro:
    We float along in the sea.
    Miles between our entities.
    We might meet again
    On a lonely island
    Cast away
    By yesterday.

    We float along in the sea.
    Miles between our entities.
    We might meet again
    On a lonely island
    But never again.
    Never again
    Will we be so close
    As we were then.

    We float along in the sea.
    We are guided by wind.
    We will meet other debris.
    We float endlessly.
    Just lovesick debris.
    We float along endlessly.

    Here's my entry! It's called "Never Gonna Give Up". I hope you like it! :)

    Never Gonna Give Up

    Verse 1

    I remember the first day we met
    And I remembered that I’d never forget
    The way you smiled at me
    I never knew that you knew my love
    You didn’t know that I’d push and shove
    To get to you
    I remembered that I’d never forget
    I’d fight for your love
    I’d fight for your love
    Chorus
    Baby, I’m never gonna give up for your love
    I’m never gonna stop fighting
    I’ll just push and shove
    I know in my heart
    How much you mean to me
    No matter how much it’ll tear me apart
    How can I get to you through all these people?
    I know that I won’t give up
    I’m never gonna give up for love
    I’ll just push and shove
    I’m never gonna give you up
    Verse 2
    I’ll make sure no one else loves you
    Like I do
    I’ll just keep fighting because I can’t forget you
    I can’t get you at of my mind
    I can leave here, but it’s too hard to find you
    You don’t know how much you mean to me
    And I can’t lose you yet
    I can’t lose you yet {Repeat Chorus}
    Bridge
    What’s it gonna take to get you?
    What’s it gonna take to find you?
    No matter how much I risk
    I just have to have you
    It’d be too heartbreaking to lose you
    It’d be too heartbreaking to lose you

    Long Live 11.21.11

    Caught in a trap

    Verse 1
    You look at me
    I look at you
    You turn your gaze
    I try to find you
    But you're lost
    In an endless maze

    Say you don't care
    You're all right
    Everything's fine
    But come on!
    Even I can tell
    When she's crossed the line

    Chorus:
    She's just playing around
    Just kidding she said
    But she always haunts you
    Sometimes you wish you were dead
    And you pretend you're happy
    When she creates a gap
    Between you and me forever
    Yeah, you're caught in a trap

    Verse 2
    Secretly you hate her
    But you act like it's love
    Even when she puts you into tears
    It's been going on like this
    Since you first met her
    You've been crying every day for years

    Tell me you're great
    Tell me you're doing well
    But I can see through
    You're being tortured
    Every single second
    She's slowly killing you

    Repeat Chorus

    Bridge

    You run up to your room
    You've finally had it
    You're not going back

    You don't really love her
    You never will
    You're not going back

    You're done with pretending
    It's time to come clean
    You're not going back

    You tell her the truth
    Come running to me
    'Cause you're not going back

    Chorus (Version 2)

    She was just playing around
    Just kidding she said
    But she always haunted you
    Sometimes you wished you were dead
    And you pretended you were happy
    When she created a gap
    Between you and me but it's gone
    With me you're not caught in a trap

    With me you're not caught in a trap

    ^I made this one!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you so much for saying that! I was trying to get that free/drifting feel to it to amplify the idea of drifting away from the guy this song is about! :D Thank you so much! :D

    Here is my entry I hope you like it(:

    This Is Love

    Verse 1
    It takes time for love to start,
    It take courage to find who you are,
    It takes love to start again,
    And it takes effort to be more than friends.

    Chorus
    So take me,
    Off my feet please,
    Show everyone,
    That I'm the one for you,
    Please make me,
    More than I used to be,
    Hold me tight
    Through the night,
    Kiss me oh so light,
    Even if life gets too rough,
    Baby this is love.


    Verse 2
    It takes support to know I'm by your side,
    Oh, it takes thought to know that this is right,
    It takes sun to know the storm is over,
    And it takes tears to cry on your shoulder.

    Repeat chorus

    Bridge
    It takes heart, it takes soul,
    For me to get through it all,
    It takes sorrow, it takes strength,
    To know that we'll be ok,
    It's takes me, and it takes you,
    To keep the sky blue.

    Repeat chorus

    Kind of nervous. I'm only 11 so don't make fun of me! Okay, it's called "On My Way."


    What is going on?
    We used to be so close.
    But now we're far away &
    I don't know what to say
    What happened here?
    We used to sit side by side
    Laughing; talking.
    Finishing eachother's sentences
    Well, I guess it's over now.
    It's finally come to an end, now.
    You put me up, you push me down,
    Please choose your way.
    I am not you're little puppet now,
    I am on my way!

    Please understand
    We can never be the same
    With all the stuff
    You put me through
    I don't know
    If I can forgive you.
    Well, I guess it's over now.
    It's finally come to an end, now.
    You put me up, you push me down,
    Please choose your way,
    I am not your little puppet now,
    I am on..... my.... waaaayyy...


    THE END.

    Hey here is my song it's called "Because of You"

    (verse 1)
    You, you’re the reason why
    She doesn’t love me
    You, because of you
    We have been so lonely
    You, you have hurt
    Her so much she cries to me
    She, she wants you and
    It makes moving on hard for me

    (Chorus)
    You did wrong but she’s
    Still wrapped around you
    You messed up everything
    She doesn't even have a clue
    But I’ve been left on the outside
    To do nothing but look through
    Everything is twisted and
    It’s all because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of

    (verse 2)
    You, I can’t seem to
    Let go of what should be us
    Because of you, she’s so blind
    She can’t see the other side of
    You, cuz all she sees is
    A true man whose love is true
    But you, you’re the reason why
    She’s tortured every day in school

    (Repeat Chorus)

    (Bridge)
    Because of you
    I’m nothing more than a friend
    Because of you
    I feel this pain that’ll never end
    Because of you
    She will never know the truth
    Because of you
    It’s all because of you

    (2nd chorus)
    You did wrong but she’s
    Still in love with you
    I’ve been forced for 9 months
    Wondering what I’ll do
    It’s a shame she doesn’t know about
    All the other girls that you’ve screwed
    This isn’t how it’s supposed to be
    And it’s all because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of you
    Ooh oooh ooh
    Because of

    (Outro)
    You, you’ve ruined us
    And you don’t think you’re wrong
    You, you think you had the last laugh
    But I did when I wrote this song

    :)

    My entry for Round #1! This is a song about running away from love, and then regretting it.
    "Lonely Nights"
    (verse 1)
    These long hours
    These cold, lonely nights
    Are when I lie down
    And put you in my mind
    So I just stay there
    And think about what I could've done to make it right

    Flashback to when
    You first looked me in the eyes
    Caught me off guard
    So I looked away, maybe I
    Was afraid of
    Getting more lost into this surprise

    (pre-chorus)
    Too scared to fall in love
    What was I thinking of?

    (chorus)
    And though I really, really wanted to
    I never took a chance on you
    I never took a chance on everything that we could've been

    And so I left you all alone, stranded
    But you turned the tables, now you're the bandit
    Of all of those hearts, chasing after you for more
    And I'm the one who shut the door

    (verse 2)
    These memories
    Like a song on repeat
    I keep on replaying it
    Even when it haunts me
    So sad that after all this time
    You're gone, and now I finally start to see

    Maybe it's for the best
    Maybe it was the right choice to run away
    And I don't wanna be filled with regret
    Yet I'll always have the pain
    Knowing that the opportunity came knocking
    But when I locked the door, I threw away the key to keep me safe

    (pre-chorus)
    I wasn't prepared for the worst
    And that's why I had to say goodbye first

    (chorus)
    And though I really, really wanted to
    I never took a chance on you
    I never took a chance on everything that we could've been

    And so I left you all alone, stranded
    But you turned the tables, now you're the bandit
    Of all of those hearts, chasing after you for more
    And I'm the one who shut the door

    (bridge)
    Whoa, whoa, whoa

    It's on nights like these
    When you're all I can think about
    I can't run away from it
    But I can't figure it out

    And the worst part about
    Walking away
    Is filling both people
    With sorrow and pain

    (verse 4)
    Lately I've been
    Trying to do things right
    But all my wrongs
    Are never far in sight
    So I hope this makes you stronger
    'Cause if you held on any longer
    We could fall

    (chorus)
    And though I really, really wanted to
    I never took a chance on you
    I never took a chance on everything that we could've been

    And so I left you all alone, stranded
    But you turned the tables, now you're the bandit
    Of all of those hearts, chasing after you for more
    And I'm the one who shut the door

    Here's my entry! This song is about the girl who doesn't have any friends, she's all alone, every day, and no one else notices or cares. And it's saying Why is everyone like that? Why won't they sit with her, talk to her? Why?

    Why

    Verse 1
    She sits alone every lunchtime
    She feels out of place
    She sits alone with the silence
    No one's looking at her face

    No one understand's her
    When she says that she can't hide
    No one even notices
    When she cries

    Chorus
    There's a girl out there with the lost stare
    She can't help but attract all the glares
    There's a girl out there who ain't got a prayer
    Cause no one really cares
    If she's broken,
    she's hurting,
    she's fragile,
    she's lost inside,
    And I wonder why

    Verse 2
    Everyone's against her
    They say "she's doing it for the attention"
    Just cause what she's going through
    Is something she'd rather not mention

    Chorus
    There's a girl out there with the lost stare
    She can't help but attract all the glares
    There's a girl out there who ain't got a prayer
    Cause no one really cares
    If she's broken,
    she's hurting,
    she's fragile,
    she's lost inside,
    And I wonder why
    And i wonder why

    Bridge
    Well they hurt her, they tease her,
    They break her, they leave her,
    They change her into
    A completely different person
    They don't realise
    What they don't realise is that
    Some day they might be
    The girl out there with the lost stare, yeah
    The girl with the lost stare, yeah

    Chorus
    There's a girl out there with the lost stare
    She can't help but attract all the glares
    There's a girl out there who ain't got a prayer
    Cause no one really cares
    If she's broken,
    she's hurting,
    she's fragile,
    she's lost inside,
    And I wonder why
    And I wonder why

    And I wonder why
    ~

    Hope you like it!

    This is one of my older songs I wrote about a month ago :) I wrote this about a guy at school, he's actually the guy I like and he hasn't had a very good life and he always cuts himself and smokes even though he's only 13 :/ if you're wondering why I still like him, is because I can see deeper then the outside and there's a curtain sence of innocence I can see in him. I feel really sorry for him, so I wrote this song about him.
    I hope you like it xx

    WRONG SIDE OF TOWN

    VERSE
    You grew up with no one to love you
    Feelings hidden away
    Hanging out on the wrong side of the train track
    Your daddy ran away
    But you never knew better
    So you didn't know where to go
    Your friends have always cared
    But you always lay low

    VERSE 2
    You woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning
    Your attitude flew out the window
    With no warning at all
    Having problems at home with your family
    The only way you cope is if you hurt yourself to cause a distraction

    CHORUS
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you were born
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you sit alone
    On the wrong side of town
    You don't care if you die
    On the wrong side of town
    Please don't lie
    You wanna be with us, forever more
    Don't leave a note at my door
    I'll ignore
    On the wrong side of town

    VERSE 3
    One day you got too distracted and got carried away
    You showed up at school with scar marks all down your arm
    You said you were okay
    Trying to cover them up only made it more obvious
    I'm oblivious to you but I really care about you

    VERSE 4
    I'm genually petrified for the side of you that doesn't wanna die
    But the side that does is slowly breaking down
    You know you're an innocent just open up your eyes
    And soon you'll find
    Life is full of happiness

    CHORUS
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you were born
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you sit alone
    On the wrong side of town
    You don't care if you die
    On the wrong side of town
    Please don't lie
    You wanna be with us, forever more
    Don't leave a note at my door
    I'll ignore
    On the wrong side of town

    BRIDGE
    Scarred but still alive
    Don't know how much longer you’re gonna survive
    I pray that you stay with us forever more
    If you keep acting this way, won't care if you walk up to my door
    But I will try to help you any I can
    I just hope you understand

    CHORUS
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you were born
    On the wrong side of town
    Is where you sit alone?
    On the wrong side of town
    You don't care if you die
    On the wrong side of town
    Please don't lie
    You wanna be with us, forever more
    Don't leave a note at my door
    I'll ignore
    On the wrong side of town

    OUTRO
    Don't want you to leave us now
    Don't want you to lie down
    And die
    We just want you to stay with us forever
    I hope you're with us, together.

    My song for the first round:

    The Wind

    He wrongs his fingers through her hair
    and she looks beautiful.
    She turns her head to the skye
    but she doesn`t see anything.

    She doesn't know where he has been
    But she knows that he'll come back.
    She doesn't know where he's going to
    but she knows he's always there.

    The wind, the wind, the wind
    is invisible but you can see him.
    The wind, the wind, the wind
    everybody knows what he is
    but doesn't really know him really.

    He pasts the high and the lowlands
    and he sees the land and sea.
    he sees crying people and laughter
    sees people die and born.

    He moves the clouds in every second
    he moves the trees and his leaves
    he moves the straw and makes it fly
    he takes some things and gives them back.

    The wind, the wind, the wind
    is invisible but you can see him.
    The wind, the wind, the wind
    everybody knows what he is
    but doesn't really know him really.

    I can't this world anymore
    Everybody wants me to be what I'm not.
    I've lied, I've broken hearts
    and I can not even controle my own head anymore.

    Please give me a chance, to come with you

    This is my song called CHANCE it is about my dream of becoming a successful singer/songwriter

    Pre-Chorus:

    Well, everything else just dissapears
    when I'm at a place like this.
    I can see the crowd forming
    And it's becoming clearer to me
    That this is exactly who I'm supposed to be.

    Chorus:
    And what I'd give to make you smile,
    but I never said that it wouldn't take some time.
    But if you gave me the chance
    I'd run with it.
    Woahohoh ohoh oh woah
    woah ohoh ohoh oh oh awhoah (sorry about that it is hard to get that in writing)

    Verse 1
    And obviously not everyone
    Is gonna like where you come from.
    But someday I'll prove to you
    That this isn't some crazy, idea
    That's taken root because trust me,
    This is something that I'm supposed to do.

    Chorus:
    And what I'd give to make you smile
    But I never said that it wouldn't take sometime.
    But if you gave me the chance
    I'd run with it.
    Woahohoh oh oh ohoh woah
    Woahohoh oh oh oh oh awhoah oh oh

    Verse 2
    Nobody, ever promised that things would be easy
    And nobody ever promised that things would be perfect.
    But to get even close to where you want to be.
    You have to,
    Take a chance.
    And burst out of that box that you've been hiding in.
