test
By Jonathan Siu
Isn’t it factastic how good ideas get perfected just as you’re trying to fall asleep.
75 beats per minute. Four per bar. I want this one to have a rock feel but also it’s a song that speaks of grief, pain and guilt. Don’t know the key yet.
Verse 1
If I could hide it all away
Behind the happiness, the laughter,
the bright and sunny day.
But it’s been a year,
How did we get here?
How did we end up this way?
Chorus 1
But I’m still bleeding
And you’re not sorry
For anything.
I’m still bleeding.
And I’m sorry I knew you.
For all you put me through.
Verse 2
If I could quietly slip away.
Pack it in, throw in the towel,
Who knew the things you’re say?
If you’d just let me leave,
Give me a reprieve.
Relent and let me fray.
Chorus 2
But I’m still bleeding
And you’re just watching
As I’m dying.
I’m still bleeding.
And I’m sorry that I met you
For all the things I knew.
Bridge.
The things I did,
The things I hid.
Couldn’t you just see?’
Wouldn’t ask that.
Of anyone.
But you asked it of me.
Middle 8
But I’m still bleeding
And you’re not sorry
I’m dying!
I’m still bleeding.
And not sorry that I left you.
For all you put me through.
And I’m still bleeding
And you’re just watching
As I’m burning!
I’m still bleeding.
And I’m sorry that I miss you.
Coz you never loved me too.
Repeat still bleeding.
