Forever Was So Close

Sitting in a room with plastic walls
As the cigarette burns to the filter
Falls to the ground
A trail of ashes leaves my mouth
The only feelin left inside
Is an emptiness that controls my mind
And ashes of memories you left behind
Taking walks in the street with the lights down
To a solemn glow
Making marks on the trees in the night
You didn’t have to go

Who am I now?
What have I got to show?
Here without you I listen to the same sad song
The only one I know
I scream three words loud
I love you more now I’m alone
You said you were my forever
But now forever’s moving slow
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
Forever was so close

I know we’re prone to make mistakes
But with each mistake seems my heart breaks
It was a mistake to lose you
Mistake to use you mistake to make you cry
Like a book of all the things we did
And suddenly the paper shreds
It was a mistake to say goodbye
Making sidewalk art before the rainstorms
We ran inside
I feel my love burn strong with the candles
When the flame ignites

Who am I now?
What have I got to show?
Here without you I listen to the same sad song
The only one I know
I scream three words loud
I love you more now I’m alone
You said you were my forever
But now forever’s moving slow
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
Forever was so close

chorus

this song is pretty new.
let me know what you think!

I thought it was really good. I dont know what kind of music you would put to it. I suppose it could be a ballad? I really liked it but it ran from different things quiet a lot. Eg. You tlk about rainstorms and sidewalk art, things this someone said, and sitting in a plastic room with a cigarette. Just watch the changes. There is a lot cramped up in this song, but still I still enjoyed it.

its already been put to music...its like an indie alternative acoustic song...
i wrote it for my band

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
