Things I Should Be Doing

Hey. This is another one of my songs, written after i went through a conversation record on my pc. The whole process of getting-over and moving-on is exhausting, and sometimes I wanted to give up and go back and exist within the chaos of the failed relationship, to hear the lies because they were all that seemed true. This ones about that self-depreciating feeling. Please tell me what you think, if i can make it better somehow, etc.




(v1)

When I read these pages from another time
I wonder if I’m still here
Have I changed a lot, do I still feel
Do I still even care?
Because all I recall from yesterday
Is what I see in tomorrow
I’m stuck somewhere so timeless
I need a minute to borrow

(pre-chorus)

I have things I should be doing
But I cannot break this chain
Now I take two steps forward
And I take one back again

(chorus)

I want you to come and turn off the light
Come in and shut the door
Now you’re here, now you’re gone
Please lie to me once more

(v2)

Now I’m forcing words out of my mouth
It seems I cannot talk
But I still say a lot of things
I don’t mean them at all
I wake up to just sleep again
Sometimes I have nightmares
And if I cry, I can’t do that
It earns me puzzled stares

(pre-chorus)

I have things I should be doing
But I’d rather see the rain
Now I take two steps forward
And I take one back again

(chorus)

I want you to come and turn off the light
Come in and shut the door
Now you’re here, now you’re gone
Please lie to me once more

(bridge)

Please lie to me
Tell me you’ll take me
As I am today
Please lie to me
Tell me outside
It isn’t cold and gray
Please lie to me and make me forget
What you did
What you did to me

(pre chorus)

I have things I should be doing
But I’m stiff with all this pain
Now I take two steps forward
And I take one back again

(pause)

All you claim is always wrong
But everything else I’ve heard before
We’ll end it won’t be too long
Just lie to me once more

(chorus)

I want you to come and turn off the light
Come in and shut the door
Now you’re here, now you’re gone
Please lie to me once more

No posts?

Aw, I'll post
I really love this - it oozes sadness, loneliness and desperation. (It is supposed to, right? ) I like the 'please lie to me' sentiment; it's different and it works

THANKS Katie 13 appreciate it
