Hello fellow songwriters!

I have written lyrics to 3 songs that tell a story about a failed relationship.

Would be great to geat some feedback from you.

Thank your very much!


I can't take this anymore ...


Verse

Is it this air that leaves me cold?
As Days grow shorter, I feel alone
Trapped inside my head, I keep to myself
In a blank conversation on a weeknight
Its so hard to make out, what are the right words
when your head keeps spinning around

Refrain

Can you see it?
This terminal stage we're in
Hate the way it feels
when I'm with you every night

Verse II

Don't want
you as a lover
Don't want
you waking next to me
and I won't let you tear me down again
I didnt't break the bond, don't put it on me
Life just happens now
and I won't ever let you in again

Refrain II

Can you see it?
This terminal stage we're in
Hate the way it feels
when I'm with you every night
Can you feel it?
I feel heavy and there is nothing I can do
I'm wishful in the way, I wish it all would end

Background Refrain

I imply maybe we have used up all our time
Oh, I've been so lone and you came along
You made your point, didn't have to raise your voice
Found the bodies, you tried to hide under your rug

Bridge:
Keep in touch, you will never find another love
Keep in touch, you will never find another love

Refrain II

Can you see it?
Its a terminal stage we're in
Hate the way it feels
when I'm with you every night
Can you feel it?
I feel heavy and there is nothing I can do
I'm wishful in the way, I wish it all would end tonight

Background Refrain

I imply maybe we have used up all our time
Oh, I've been so alone and you came along
You made your point, didn't have to raise your voice
Found the bodies, you tried to hide under your rug


... so one last touch and we'll be gone ...


I swear I love you but you know me so well
I am the one, I am always on the run
We we're perfect when we started and
I've been wondering where we might have gone wrong

So how long can we keep this tired act together
It's been a short ride and then the waiting room forever
Tell me, how to make the next move
and I will try hard to follow your words

So one last touch and we'll be gone
let's pretend there was so much more
Shake out the shards in your memory
let's pretend it meant so much more
You are everything but you don't mean a thing to me
You will never be what I want you to be
You are everything but you don't mean a thing to me
You don't ever need to be - what I want you to be


... but your ghost remains


Verse I

Come, rest in the shade of this hollow tree
Sink to your knees and start to pray
Feel the floor collapsing once again
Let time rewind, watch me turn away

Interlude

Words I never said, receat in my head

Chorus

And ...
Your ghost, your ghost
I can feel it crawling under
My skin, my skin
Are the walls that cave in
Your ghost, your ghost
It takes advantage of my love
and leaves me used and worn thin

Verse II

Come to rest in the shade of this hollow tree
Sink to my knees and start to dig with my hands
I won't bury myself, I'll search for gold
If this means to heal, I'll pay the cost

Interlude

These Words you said, appear in my head

Bridge

So, am I still looking back?
Am I still looking back? Oh, god

Chorus

And ...
Your ghost, your ghost
I can feel it crawling under
My skin, my skin
Are the walls that cave in
Your ghost, your ghost
it Takes advantage of my love
and leaves me used and worn thin
