Shot Down

Another quick one written about anyone who has been going back and forth with a signifigant other and just can't seem to break the cycle.

Shot Down

I lay awake, just begging for a dream, yeah…
To escape myself and silence these screams

And in the wake I see
The damage I have caused
Opened my eyes but it’s too late…and I’ve been

Shot down just to turn around
‘Cause there was nothing left to say
Who will catch me now, that I’m falling down
Into the arms that have turned me away

Every day the same routine
Thought I found a way out
All the words, we didn’t mean
Wish I could take them back now…yeah

Cause in the wake I see
The damage I have caused
Opened my eyes but it’s too late…and I’ve been

Shot down just to turn around
‘Cause there was nothing left to say
Who will catch me now, that I’m falling down
Into the arms that have turned me away

In the end
Will I feel it again
One more time
For the sake of trying…

Am I in over my head,
Over my head again?

Shot down just to turn around
‘Cause there was nothing left to say
Who will catch me now, that I’m falling down
Into the arms that have turned me away

You got me running in circles…
Running in circles again…

Obscured One:
I love the refrain!This is a Classic refrain,and the verses are great.For me to Comment on a Song Lyric that doesn't have a constant rhyme is saying something.Something real good,great job!

It's funny, I labor like hell sometimes to get just the right rhyme, but this is a perfect example of how foolish it is to worry so much about that. I didn't even notice til you mentioned it Doug.

Great lyric!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I really like the chorus, very tight. I also think your opening line is great. Puts you right in line for the rest of the story.
