Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 5:32 PM By: Countrygirl95

OK so I really like songwriting and I figure its good to hear someone else's perspective and their songwriting style, so I am "hosting" a SONG WRITING CONTEST!!! YAY! So it will have four rounds with topics that I pick....

Round 1- Being in Love (CLOSED)
Deadline is July 15th, 2012

Round 2- Heartbreak (CLOSED)

and finally...
Round 4- Friendship (CLOSED)
Deadline is August 9th, 2012


thank you to everybody who entered in the contest! your songs were all amazing!
Now here are the rules:
1. All songs have to be written by the person sending them (obviosly I wouldn't know if it is or isn't, but its good to be honest!)
2. They have to be in by the deadline otherwise I can't accept them
3. Don't post the same song twice otherwise it will only count for one song
4. You can message me to send your songs.... :)
5. HAVE FUN! :P


Remember...sure its a contest but have fun doing it...otherwise its pointless.
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor ;)

    About my old best friend...

    I Don’t Know You Anymore

    Verse 1
    I used to know you like the back of my hand
    It’s sad to think you were once my best friend
    Saying good-bye was the hardest thing in my life
    But, I already knew, my decision was right
    Because who you used to be before
    Well, it’s just not who you were anymore

    Chorus
    Because you changed, not for the better
    Around you it rained, in sunny weather
    And I was sick of being beat down in our mental wars
    You became everything you said you wouldn’t
    Your games, tried to stop ‘em, but I couldn’t
    Trust me; I didn’t wanna slam that door
    But, I had to, I don’t know you anymore

    Verse 2
    Just about every day you took me for granted
    Behind my back you were pointing at me and laughin’
    You know how hard it is to hear about that?
    But I was the one who wanted the cold hard facts
    I went home and cried and fell to the kitchen floor
    That’s something you would have never done before

    Chorus
    Because you changed, not for the better
    Around you it rained, in sunny weather
    And I was sick of being beat down in our mental wars
    You became everything you said you wouldn’t
    Your games, tried to stop ‘em, but I couldn’t
    Trust me; I didn’t wanna slam that door
    But, I had to, I don’t know you anymore

    Bridge
    So don’t bother to call and apologize
    I’m learning to see straight through your lies
    You became everything you swore you never would
    I should have saved you when I could

    Chorus
    Because you changed, not for the better
    Around you it rained, in sunny weather
    And I was sick of being beat down in our mental wars
    You became everything you said you wouldn’t
    Your games, tried to stop ‘em, but I couldn’t
    Trust me; I didn’t wanna slam that door
    But, I had to, I don’t know you anymore

    Outro
    The pain burned me right down to the core
    But, it ain’t my fault that I don’t know you anymore

    Sometimes

    Verse
    You were there that night
    when the stars were gloomy,
    when I told you
    my life was a roller-coaster
    I may never see you again

    and your heart came to a stop
    you didn't know what to say
    you barely made out
    "Is this really true?"
    Tears rolled out my eyes
    as I to-ol-old youuu

    Pre-Chorus
    'cuz I've been your rock,
    for a million years
    and you've been my brace
    to stand a little taller,
    lift my chin a little higher,
    what would I do without you?

    Chorus
    And sometimes, life turns in a way
    you'd never expect
    sometimes, your best friend
    will never see you again
    and sometimes, life's not about men
    It's about us, together
    united forever
    'cuz somtimes, sometimes


    Verse
    We made the last moments last
    magical friendship,
    enchanting moments I'll never forget
    my life was a roller-coaster
    I may never see you again

    and your heart seemed to race so face
    I didn't know what to say
    I barely made out
    "I'll always love you"
    Tears rolled out your eyes
    'cuz you know this friendship was true

    Pre-Chorus
    'cuz I've been your rock,
    for a million years
    and you've been my brace
    to stand a little taller,
    lift my chin a little higher,
    what would I do without you?

    Chorus
    And sometimes, life turns in a way
    you'd never expect
    sometimes, your best friend
    will never see you again
    and sometimes, life's not about men
    It's about us, together
    united forever
    'cuz somtimes, sometimes

    Bridge,
    And when I walked the last step,
    you left me forever
    there wasn't one night
    I didn't cry in the bed folds
    It's been like a million years,
    can't wait to see you again...

    Slow Chorus
    And sometimes, life turns in a way
    you'd never expect
    sometimes, your best friend
    will never leave you again
    and sometimes, life's not about men
    It's about us, together
    united forever
    'cuz somtimes, sometimes
    Ohhh, I'll never leave you again...

    Forever

    verse:
    airplanes flying across the world
    one's fate is to take me away from you
    but baby i can see your beautiful eyes
    from all the way over hereee..

    i don't know if you if you even miss me
    but i'm a young and naive girl so thinking of you
    is all you can expect
    i don't know if i knew,
    or i ever told you late one night i love you

    pre-chorus
    hearts, bright red a beautiful, wonderful, so nice to me
    eyes, light blue and blinding,
    dare them to look into my dark hazel ones not as magical as yours...
    hair, flipping like that pretty boy on my magazine

    chorus:
    you spin me around on the dance floor
    your wind whips my hair all around
    and all though I'll probably
    never see you again
    we'll be together forever
    in my heart.

    verse:
    spinning, a globe that goes round and round
    your on the side, that seems to be sunny and pretty
    but baby it's raining over here
    i wish you were mineeee....

    i don't know if you if you even miss me
    but i'm a young and naive girl so thinking of you
    is all you can expect
    i don't know if i knew,
    or i ever told you late one night i love you

    pre-chorus
    hearts, bright red a beautiful, wonderful, so nice to me
    eyes, light blue and blinding,
    dare them to look into my dark hazel ones not as magical as yours...
    hair, flipping like that pretty boy on my magazine

    chorus:
    you spin me around on the dance floor
    your wind whips my hair all around
    and all though I'll probably
    never see you again
    we'll be together forever
    in my heart.

    Bridge:
    A race, your at the finish line:
    Fairytales, I get to kiss you at my happy ending
    and it will be magical
    you'll know it to
    and your a
    cloud, so soft and pure
    and you'll be with me forever...

    Chorus:
    you spin me around on the dance floor...
    your wind whips my hair all around
    and htough i'll probably
    never see you again
    we'll e together forever
    in my heart
    forever
    forever
    forever
    ya forever

    hey :) here's my entry!!!

    WHITE ROSE

    VERSE
    I need to sleep now
    Can't go back and apologize
    Thinking of what I could've done
    Closing the door so no one can hear my cries
    I bought you a rose
    But you didn't take it
    You threw it on the road
    Got fire and matches
    And burned it

    CHORUS
    I'd give you thirteen roses
    But you'd leave them in the rain
    Lying there to be blown away
    I can still feel the pain
    The storm begins to start
    And lightning strikes
    I'm alone in my house
    When the clock strikes 12
    And my phone calls and you're asking for me back
    But me and my white rose won't allow that

    VERSE
    Its dawn and I wake up
    My eyes are black from my make-up
    Still can't believe what he did to me
    Wish I could go outside
    I'm too afraid
    I'd rather hide for the rest of my life
    Then face you again
    Its dark I go back to bed
    The white rose is turning from white to dead

    CHORUS
    I'd give you thirteen roses
    But you'd leave them in the rain
    Lying there to be blown away
    I can still feel the pain
    The storm begins to start
    And lightning strikes
    I'm alone in my house
    When the clock strikes 12
    And my phone calls and you're asking for me back
    But me and my white rose won't allow that

    BRIDGE
    Roses are red
    And sometimes white
    Turned to dead
    But, I can't stand to fight
    I'm not going to say anything
    Till you talk to me first
    My dead rose and I are dying in reverse

    CHORUS
    I'd give you thirteen roses
    But you'd leave them in the rain
    Lying there to be blown away
    I can still feel the pain
    The storm begins to start
    And lightning strikes
    I'm alone in my house
    When the clock strikes 12
    And my phone calls and you're asking for me back
    But me and my white rose won't allow that

    OUTRO
    But me and my white rose
    Are better than you'll ever be
    We don't need you in our lives
    My white rose is back to life

    would you mind please messaging me when the results are up? thank you xx

    Your Smile

    (chorus)
    Catch me if I fall, maybe
    Sweep me off my feet
    Tell me that you just can't stop thinking about me
    Because right now I am hopelessly
    Trying not to lose mind
    Over your smile

    I really don't know how to say this,
    But If you'd give me just one chance,
    I promise I will be the one
    I know you are the one
    That's right, that's right, I said it
    I don't know how I did it
    Normally I just get crazy
    When I'm with you, I insanely
    Start to lose my mind...
    When I see you smile...

    (chorus)
    So catch me if I fall, maybe
    Sweep me off my feet
    Tell me that you just can't stop thinking about me
    Because right now I am hopelessly
    Trying not to lose mind
    Over your smile

    Oh, no, you caught me staring
    I hope I wasn't scaring
    You, oh, you, perfect you
    I never know what to do
    When I am with you I go crazy
    I turn stupid, everything gets all dazy
    Maybe if I make a move-
    Wait, no that's stupid, like I can even move
    When I'm watching you
    I freeze and I forget, everything, everything but you
    Because I start to lose my mind...
    When I see you smile...

    (chorus)
    Catch me if I fall, maybe
    Sweep me off my feet
    Tell me that you just can't stop thinking about me
    Because right now I am hopelessly
    Trying not to lose mind
    Over your smile

    So stop trying to call me back
    I can't come back, I can't come back
    Once you've come this far, you've lost the path
    I'm here with you, I've got your back
    Your smile, your smile, is all I see
    Once I fall asleep
    You're the highlight of my dreams
    You're the one I'd never leave

    (chorus)
    So catch me if I fall, maybe
    Sweep me off my feet
    Tell me that you just can't stop thinking about me
    Because right now I am hopelessly
    Trying not to lose mind
    Over your smile

    Round 1 - Being in Love

    Take My Breath Away

    Verse 1:
    I know you feel the same way
    I can see it in your eyes
    After all the phone call
    And all the smiles

    Verse 2:
    All the secret letters
    All the hours of laughter
    Don’t you think we should give it a try?
    This can only be right

    Pre-Chorus:
    The feel of your hands in mine
    How could we have been so blind?
    To not see what was just in front of us?

    Chorus:
    Because everything I wanted to hear
    You whispered in my ear
    You make me smile on my darkest days
    And you just simply take my breath away

    Verse 3:
    I called you up at 3am
    And you told me you loved me again and again
    And I knew everything was gonna be okay
    As long as you were in my heart to stay

    Pre-Chorus:
    The feel of your hands in mine
    How could we have been so blind?
    To not see what was just in front of us?

    Chorus:
    Because everything I wanted to hear
    You whispered in my ear
    You make me smile on my darkest days
    And you just simply take my breath away

    Bridge:
    Like the moon in the night sky
    Your blue eyes shined so bright
    You pulled me in and kissed my lips
    And I melted in your fingertips

    Chorus:
    Because everything I wanted to hear
    You whispered in my ear
    You make me smile on my darkest days
    And you just simply take my breath away

    Outro:
    You just simply take my breath away
    Oh, simply take my breath away
    You just take my breath away
