Out of Time...or something

Not really an official one. I've been having major writers block, which is making me all upset as I don't like anything I write. I know someone who holds me back all the time, and I guess one of the reasons I'm friends with them is because I want to help them. That wasn't just random, it relates to the song (which is in C minor don't you know):

Out of Time (pending) - Copyright (c) RobberBaron Enterprises 2011

[Verse]

There's nothing I can do,
Nothing I can say,
Cos I know who you are,
I know you'll never change

You bring your fears to me,
With sorrow in your heart,
You listen for a while,
But then we fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
You had to run away,
And always stand alone,
Like a wolf with no home

[Chorus]

It's not about what you do,
It's not about what you say,
It's all about your dreams,
But you let them fly away

You couldn't hear the truth,
You couldn't see the light,
You waited way too long,
And now we're out of time

[Verse]

You carry your heart as stone,
A dead weight just holding you down,
Cos while you're all alone,
Your tears don't make a sound

No words will bring you back,
No song will cure your mind,
Only you can choose,
To leave it all behind

[Pre-Chorus]

You had to run away,
And always stand alone,
Like a wolf with no home

[Chorus]

It's not about what you do,
It's not about what you say,
It's all about your dreams,
But you let them fly away

You couldn't hear the truth,
You couldn't see the light,
You waited way too long,
And now we're out of time

[Bridge]

If you can't see by now,
Then I guess you never will,
Move on, move on

I held my hand to you,
I tried to solve your problems,
But you pushed me away,
Yeah you had to run away

[Chorus]

It's not about what you do,
It's not about what you say,
It's all about your dreams,
But you let them fly away

You couldn't hear the truth,
You couldn't see the light,
You waited way too long,
And now we're out of time

I really, really, really like this. If this is what you accomplish with writer's block, you're gonna scare me without it!! :P
Love this bit "And always stand alone/ Like a wolf with no home"
This is great

Thank you! I had loads of other stuff like this that I wasn't going to upload, but now I think I will

I have music for this one now

I know all too well (lately) about writer's block, and for the life of me I can't finish anything I start but you did, and that's an accomplishment all by itself.

It's not about what you do,
It's not about what you say,
It's all about your dreams,
But you let them fly away

In my mind that's it, the glue that sucks it all up together right? And did you or someone else say elsewhere, you usually have problems writing a chorus? Whether it was you or someone else, I have exactly that problem and I usually write (or finish) my chorus last. It always seems wrong, or backwards but that's usually the way it works for me. But the point is that I'm curious, did you get the chorus first, or something else?

I like it. Nice lyrics and nice flow.

That's weird...I replied to this earlier...

Anyway, I usually write songs in linear fashion, which can be difficult: I seem to have a problem of always sticking to the same old thing: A B A B rhyme scheme for two verses, then pre-chorus, then chorus, then two more versus, then pre chorus and chorus, then bridge, then chorus again, and that's what I always do. But yeah, when I write I go in that order, which usually means I can't think of more verses to go after the chorus - I'm never sure: write in the same style as the first two, or use the space to convey a changing of emotion. I remember when I posted this earlier I used the word herald somewhere here too...
