"Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way"

I've been through the grinder
I've been through hard knocks
And I know even if I get higher
The insanity just never stops

You wouldn't
You couldn't
Be me for one day
I've ruined it
It's no good it
Just wont go away

So here's to the pain
Here's to the falling rain
The coldest wind blows for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way
So here's to the shame
Here's to the same old same
A most ravenous fate waits for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way

I've been through hell and back
I've stayed in the Heartbreak Hotel
And I say it's a well known fact
That this engine was built to fail

You wouldn't
You couldn't
Be me for one day
I've ruined it
It's no good it
Just wont go away

So here's to the pain
Here's to the falling rain
The coldest wind blows for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way
So here's to the shame
Here's to the same old same
A most ravenous fate waits for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way

You couldn't be me
NO, not for one day
I've f###ed up everything
And still stand in the way

So here's to the pain
Here's to the falling rain
The coldest wind blows for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way
So here's to the shame
Here's to the same old same
A most ravenous fate waits for me
And I wouldn't have it any other way

May I say something that's,for me,the truth?This is great,except the very first stanza.I almost thought this was going to disappoint,but it really picked up after that.Just my opinion,but it's how I feel and I know you want the truth!This is good writing,just not crazy about the opening.

Do you have music for it

Make first phrase a bridge toward the back. Doesnt seem to fit.

Excellent expression of houghts. Excellent expression on learning to live with, being ok with, the pain in your life, caused by bullying? Abuse? Low self esteem?

Hi there!

Owww, here's a lot of Pain with a capital P involved. You keep it as a secret where it really comes from,
but that's perfectly OK here, as too much explaining might ruin the feelings here.
I was bullied at school and the pain I have felt even untill today: it still enrages me that there was no help,
I have that stored inside me.
Becoming a singer has helped me a lot to "Sing The Frustration Away". But it could be whatever, what causes this
suffering.
Be good to yourself and learn to live with it without bitterness Blacky!
Thanks!

I agree Doug, thanks. I'll work on it.

Thanks Amaryn. Your comments are always in depth. Unfortunately I don't have an adequate reply. lol

Attention all. This song has been edited. I hope that it's better now. If not. I will scrap it. Lol

Don't scrap it! I really like it. The depth behind it really shines through and you did a great job conveying emotion without getting too descriptive. Another great work!

Thank you Kerri. Note to all. This song may seem about bullies and if that's the meaning you take from it that's okay with me. I like to leave my lyrics open to interpretation.
