Sample of Week 2 - Rock Lyrics Submissions

I'll walk away
if you ask me
i'll turn and laugh
if you think i will
there's just no way
that you'll get me
just go away
soon you'll see

(CHORUS)
when pigs fly i will love you
when the stars fall from the sky
i'd only hurt and break you
i'd only make you cry
so don't come any closer
don't you mess with me
why don't you stop trying 
why won't you let me be?

i'll just ignore you
and soon you'll see
whatever you have in mind
won't be with me
so leave me out of this
fantasy
leave right now
and let me be

(Chorus)

when pigs fly
when pigs fly
when pigs fly
when pigs fly i will love you
when the stars fall from the sky 
when people wear hats as shoes
when make-up's out of style
when trees are gone 
and water floods
and clouds are green
and land is mud
and even then 
i still might say
that i won't take you
anyway
 
(Chorus)
 

I Fall asleep
tears on the pillow
hard to weep
silently .... 

Lost in a fantasy
Right where I wanna be
Your body next to me
holding me tenderly

I wake again
alarm clock is ringing
face the pain
silently...

Back to reality
not where I wanna be
driving me crazy
wanting to break free

Work's no surprise
stare out the window
I close my eyes
silently...

Lost in a fantasy
Right where I wanna be
Your body next to me
holding me tenderly

Break from the dream
responsibilities waiting
Wish I could scream
loudly....

Back to reality
not where I wanna be
driving me crazy
wanting to break free

Making up lies
To be together
look in your eyes
silently...

Fantasy or reality?
I'm where I wanna be
your body next to me
holding me tenderly

...not right
...just tonight
...hold me tight

lost in a fantasy...
Don't want reality

...don't cry
...have to try
...say goodbye

loss of a fantasy...
Back to reality
 

I loved you once 
I loved you twice
turns out you were cold as ice

seemed so real the way you made me feel
I ended up with a bad bad deal

(chorus)
I've got a classic case of I love you
now your gone what can I do
you stole my heart and you made me a fool
now what in the world am I suposed to do

One day your gonna see what I mean
your gonna get somebody real real mean

Their gonna take you
their gonna shake you
just watch out cause their gonna break you
you gonna see what I'm going through

(Repeat chorus twice)
 

Maybe she'll be tanning
or just taking a break
maybe should spin on by
how long could it take

She could be off and running
in the park or at the track
I could cruise on by there 
or check on the way back
                
Or I could get lucky
catch her strolling by
nothing really pressing
guess I'll take a drive

Maybe I'll see her
bump into her out there
I could go out driving
don't heed to be nowhere

Might as well keep driving
one way to spend a day
Maybe I can find you
or drive this day away
 

YOU SAY, YOU'RE KEEPIN' YOUR HEART
YOU SAY, SHE TORE IT APART
I SAY, GIVE ME YOUR HAND
I SAY, YOU'LL BE MY MAN

YOU SAY, YOUR HEARTS MADE OF STONE
YOU SAY, YOU'LL GO IT ALONE
I SAY, CAN'T LET YOU WIN
I SAY, TRY LOVE AGAIN

CHORUS
CRUEL GIRL, HURT YOU SO BAD
HARD WORLD, COLD AND IT'S SAD
SHOW ME, WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
GRAB HOLD, SHOW ME YOUR LOVE

YOU SAY, LOVE IS A GAME
YOU SAY, SALTED WITH PAIN
I SAY, HIT THE BALL HARD
I SAY, RUSH FOR THAT YARD

YOU SAY, WEARING A SMILE
YOU SAY, YOU LIKE MY STYLE
I SAY, GIVE ME YOUR HAND
I SAY, YOU ARE MY MAN

CRUEL GIRL, HURT YOU SO BAD
HARD WORLD, COLD AND IT'S SAD
SHOW ME, WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
GRAB HOLD, SHOW ME YOUR LOVE
 

If you painted a picture
of your life
all you'd be able to see
are your careless strokes
of what should have
been done
total perfection 
never being achieved
because it isn't there
knocking at the door
to your soul
and you'll never hear
it whisper in your ear 
what it is
to be perfect
nothing wrong
nothing undone
nothing broken
leaving it up
to your mind
to paint
a different picture
and in this one
your careless strokes
are nothing
but
total perfection.
 

Did you ever hear me say I was better than you
Just because I pretend to know more
Maybe these couple of years I have on you
Have let me take a few more steps out the door

Did I ever look you in the eye and say I'm the greatest
And point my chin away as if you weren't worth it
The lowest point I've reached was far enough for you to miss me
Don't think that I've seen it all before this

And if you want to know my problems
Don't keep assuming you found them out
There's a point when your detective work 
Gets out of hand 
Cuz I don't even know what I'm about

  It's not like I know all there is to know
  I haven't seen everything there is to see
  It's not that I have to like everyone
  I just wish everyone would like me

Now I may smile when all the girls walk past me
And I may say that they think I'm hot
But I'm only hoping that they looked in the first place
Don't start thinking I'm someone that I'm not

And if you want to know what's brewing
What's stirring in this head of mine
Don't try to see right through me 
Cuz you're telescope
Is only making you blind

  It's not like I know all there is to know
  I haven't seen everything there is to see
  It's not that I have to like everyone
  I just wish everyone would like me
 

If a tear rolls on my face
Don't ask me how it got there
How?  I have got no idea
But don't shed any,  not one
I'd prefer to be alone

Sometimes the bottle is my friend
Drink until the day and night are dead and gone
And the seasons always pass me by
And I never have time to cry

Take it all away
Please take my heart of stone
Open up a page in the book
But don't come alone

The nights pass me by
The days have long since gone away
Looking at the world through bloodshot eyes
It's not a very good day today
I can't feel anymore

All my feelings have been washed away
Left me behind,  with nothing to say
All the things I did
Words I wanted to say
But things just kept getting in the way

Please take it all away
I would like to live a new day
I don't want to be around this town anymore
Let me walk out the door
Into the great beyond and across the divide
Just to let you know I didn't cry
 

Your siren's song
It pulls me in
It's clear to me that You're as good as sin,
You're good as sin,
You pull me in cause You're good as sin.

Chorus:
Your golden hair
Your turquoise eyes
and you BLOOD RED TEETH!           
You blow my mind,   
You make me blind  
You lurk beneath  

And you try to trap me.
In your web of despair,
Like a lovesick fly
To a spider's lair.

Your the best and the worst thing
that's ever happened to me.
Cause I can't shake your face,
and you won't let me be.
but you won't let me touch,
and you won't set me free.
 

Don't have to tell me
When it's over
Because I knew it from the start.
Every day that we spend lying
You keep on breaking my heart.

You can smile at days gone by
You can say that love made sense
But baby, nothing really matters
When you're speaking in 
Past Tense

You stand before me
Softly smiling
As we talk of days long past
Maybe we were only dreaming
To think that we'd make it last

You can smile at days gone by
You can say that love made sense
But baby, nothing really matters
When you're speaking in
Past Tense

Thinking of the old days
How to bring them back?
Is there no one who can teach me
To simply look back 
And laugh?

Yeah, there were times you
Said you loved me
There were memories we've shared
But when you say we have no future
You're saying no one really cared

You can smile at days gone by
You can say our love made sense
But baby, nothing really matters
When you're speaking in
Past tense
