    Thank you for the invite :)

    {THE REAL YOU}
    Your glory showers me like rain
    While I'm dancing in my best dress.
    With you my heart begins again
    And I'm in awe of your faithfulness

    Here with you I'm flying free
    I want you forever next to me.

    You make me shine as if I'm made of gold
    You make me feel like I'm your world.
    I'm so caught up in your smile
    Your blue eyes make me want to stay a while.


    With you I always feel at home
    Although people don't see the real you.
    I hope I'll never be alone
    Cause your heart is perfect and true.

    Here with you I'm flying free
    I want you forever next to me.

    You make me shine as if I'm made of gold
    You make me feel like I'm your world.
    I'm so caught up in your smile
    Your blue eyes make me want to stay a while.


    Dancing here with you
    Everything stands still.
    I'm captivated, consumed
    By your flawlessness.

    You make me soar far above the clouds.
    You make me always want you around.
    I'm so caught up in the way you laugh
    The way you talk, the way you're you.

    You make me sparkle like I'm the only star
    In the dark realm of the night sky.
    I only want you and you alone
    The real you is the one I adore.


    Stay Fearlessly Beautiful,

    TaylorRose xx

    Can you tell me if this song fits the theme? It is supposed to be about a new relationship, and starting over :)

    Coming Home

    Blue eyes and a scruffy smile
    He’s got a way that can drive me wild
    My tongue is tied and my cheeks are flushed
    The only man that can make me blush

    Every laugh every glance or stare
    I think I’d follow him anywhere
    A hug a kiss or just a fleeting look
    He can read me like a picture book

    And I feel like
    My world is slowly spinning
    But I realize
    My feet are still on solid ground
    And I wonder
    How I could be this happy
    This love is everlasting joy

    My eyes are wet and I’ve lost the race
    Feeling down living in disgrace
    A brush of skin and my mind goes numb
    My heart is soaring and I’m overcome

    Lying here I feel complete
    Mingled sweat and two heartbeats
    I’ve never been this comfortable
    I’ve never felt this wonderful

    And I feel like
    My world is slowly spinning
    But I realize
    My feet are still on solid ground
    And I wonder
    How I could be this happy
    This love is everlasting joy

    The sparks are flying my lips are smiling
    After all these years of failures and trying
    Of crying, of lying, implying, denying

    Miscommunications and misinterpretations
    Anger and confusion, hope and disillusion

    Your arms are here and we’re wrapped in each other
    Drowning in blue and a love undercover
    Cause baby, here we are

    And I feel like
    My world is slowly spinning
    But I realize
    My feet are still on solid ground
    And I wonder
    How I could be this happy
    This love is everlasting joy

    And I feel like
    My heart is going crazy
    But I realize
    Your eyes are holding steady
    And I know
    How I could be this happy
    This love is everlasting joy

    Everlasting joy
    And I know that I’m coming home

    Round 1: New Starts
    I'm Free


    Intro
    All I needed was an answer, not a million signs pointing down a road
    Where the only I thing I have is my heart and my soul

    Verse 1
    I turn on the radio, and put the country music on loud
    You’d tried to hurt me, but no, I’m not letting you bring me down
    Just driving on these back roads, to God only knows where
    I just wish that when I turn around, your memory won’t be there
    Because I’m gone, I’m moving on and no one can stop me

    Chorus 1
    I’m free from all of the ropes you wrapped around my arms
    I’m breaking away from the promises we made
    No longer will I be strapped down to a boy who kicked me to the ground
    I’m free from all of the things you did to hurt me

    Verse 2
    I take deep breath, filling my lungs with a brand new air
    Letting out all of the things that you said you cared
    I keep driving, where there’s always a brand new sight to see
    It stops my mind from thinking about you and me

    Chorus 2
    I’m free from all the lies you wrapped around my heart
    I’m breaking away from all the times you said I’d be okay
    No longer will I be strapped down to a boy who kicked me to the ground
    I’m free from all of the things you did to hurt me

    Bridge
    I’m riding away to the best of my days, where I’ll truly be loved
    Just a broken heart and a soul full of hope that I am proud of

    Pre-Chorus
    All I needed was an answer, not a million signs pointing down a road
    Where the only I thing I have is my heart and my soul

    Chorus 3
    I’m free from all of the ropes you wrapped around my arms
    I’m breaking away from the promises we made
    I’m free from all the lies you wrapped around my heart
    I’m breaking away from all the times you said I’d be okay
    No longer will I be strapped down to a boy who kicked me to the ground
    I’m free from all of the things you did to hurt me

    Outro
    I’m free with my heart and soul, riding down this open road

    I'd love to enter! Can you tell me if my song fits the theme? Its about how something bad happened to me, and I'm moving on from it and I'm just starting all over. I'm not sure if it really fits the theme but I hope it does cause I'd love to be in this contest!

    ~Moving On~

    VERSE 1:
    I guess you'll never see the pain
    You caused everyday
    You could write a book on
    How to ruin my day
    You don't even see all the different
    scars you left
    While you were standing there, taking all my best

    PRE-CHORUS:
    When It's bright you make it grey
    and the sunshine fades away
    I thought It was obvious
    But I guess you'll never see it
    How did I not notice
    Everything you did?

    CHORUS:
    Cause now its over
    But I've just gotta stay strong
    The best memory we had, from March 31st
    Is now just the past, wish I saw it first
    You left me like a penny in the rain
    You thought I was fine
    Baby just know yeah my smiles' faded,
    But I'm moving on

    VERSE 2:
    Wednesday came along, after you moved
    I listened carefully and saw right through
    All your lies and laughter
    It felt like my whole life shattered.

    CHORUS:
    Cause now im tryin' to end it all
    But I've just gotta stay strong
    I thought the memories were made right then
    But turned out I was wrong
    You left me like a penny in the rain
    You thought I was fine
    Baby just know yeah my smiles' faded,
    But I'm moving on

    BRIDGE:
    Looks like you won the game
    Cause you got your fame when you hurt me
    But babe don't come running back
    Because I'll be gone fast

    CHORUS:
    Cause now im tryin' to end it all
    But I've just gotta stay strong
    I thought the memories were made right then
    But turned out I was wrong
    I think its funny how you think i'm still sad
    But babe look what I have
    A new best friend to hold me along
    Yeah you hurt me but here I am
    I'm moving on

    OUTRO:
    So happy that your gone
    Im moving on
    Im moving on
    Oooh Im moving on

    Chin Up Beautiful
    by: winnie

    |verse one|

    shy in his soft brown eyes
    intertwined with all those lies
    heart the fire or the ember
    gave up before he remembered
    I was there to watch him fade
    go away with summer shade

    |chorus|
    Darling rumors are just the sin in the storm
    Stop those tears just before they start form
    Chin Up Beautiful, you know better than them
    your better than them

    |verse two|
    he disappears with a glint in innocence
    a shadow for the insolence
    the ones that kill him deep inside
    but I know he knows theres no where to hide
    he just need a way to fight
    I've seen him in flight

    | chorus |
    Darling rumors are just the sin in the storm
    Stop those tears just before they start form
    Chin Up Beautiful, you know better than them
    your better than them

    |beak through|
    Darling rumors are just the sin in the storm
    Stop those tears just before they start form
    I was there to watch you fade
    Go away with the summer shade
    but, Chin Up Beautiful
    your far better than them

    |end verse|
    your frozen and changing
    and fire or and ember
    your beautiful
    so Chin up Beautiful

    darling rumors are just sin in the rainstorm-

    alive 4 life

    WHY ME

    I was dark
    You were light
    You were calm
    I was fight
    You were the golden boy
    But I was a broken girl
    Until you came into my world

    PRECHORUS
    Oh oh oh
    You came into my world
    A world of a broken girl
    You fixed my heart, which couldn't be fixed
    Oh what did I do to deserve this?
    (so answer me this)
    CHORUS
    Why?
    Have you stayed by my side
    And fallen down
    With me
    Why?
    Have you held me
    And hurt when I was hurting
    Why?
    Was I the one who caught your eye
    When I was the only one who was shy
    Why? 
    Did you hold me together 
    Every time I was breaking?
    Tell me something baby,
    Just tell me honey,
    I've been wondering,
    Forever....why me?

    All those other girls
    Prettier then me
    I'm just ordinary
    Nothing special about me

    But you noticed this lonely heart
    You came over
    And put back the parts
    Even as I was still breaking
    Your touch, your voice,
    It left me shaking

    I was hesitant, scared and kinda nervous
    Frightened and apprehensive
    Thinking this can only lead
    To a repeat of HIM
    ....At first

    But you changed my mind
    You made me shine
    You found my inner light
    Which I'd thought had went out


    PRECHORUS
    CHORUS

    Oh I'm just ordinary
    Nothing special about me
    But you saw something different
    You came, you saw, you laughed, you loved
    And you...
    You changed everything.

    Sorry, I don't know if this quite fits the theme, but it was a new start for me, getting over a person I had spent many months of my life with, and they were very important to me.
    It was a big step.
    I've been trying to get over them for a while.
    And it all started with a little bit.

    {A little bit}

    I don’t want to leave, but I have to
    I don’t wanna say goodbye to you
    But I know
    It’s the best thing to do

    And it all changes tonight, tonight
    When I stop the fire, the fire
    Inside my heart that you lit
    It’ll be hard I know, I know
    It’ll be worth it though, so
    I’m getting over you now, a little bit


    I don’t want to block you out, but I have to
    I don’t want to let you go, after all this time
    But I know now
    You will never again be mine

    And it all changes tonight, tonight
    When I stop the fire, the fire
    Inside my heart that you lit
    It’ll be hard I know, I know
    It’ll be worth it though, so
    I’m over you now, just a little bit


    When I could feel my heart breaking
    I knew it was time to give up and let go
    There’s no point trying when I’ve already lost
    …you…

    It all changed last night, last night…
    When I stopped the fire…
    Inside my heart that you lit
    So many months ago
    The pain was worth letting you go
    I’m over you now, except for a little bit


    I felt my heart breaking
    So I gave up and let you go
    I figured I would find later in life
    Someone better than you
