The song was co-written with Bethany. She wrote the second verse and this
song is based on someone.
Something Real
I'm laughing in your face because I can forget the words,
Don't need a time or place, it hurt but baby from mistakes, I learnt,
When you pushed me around like an easy ride,
I realised it's better to run and hide,
I don't need your challenging compliments,
Thought some clever guy like you would've knew what I meant,
So I'll keep searching for Prince Charming,
I hope you forget me while with him I'm dancing,
I hope you know I won't put up with that,
And you saying that shows you lack,
What I'm looking for,
Something real,
Everything I've learnt from fairytales,
Isn't true,
'Cause I won't be getting my happily ever after,
With you,
I bet you thought you would,
Leave me dizzy,
Well have fun missing me,
And maybe I'll think about you in days to come,
Of what we could've become,
If you didn't have those chat up lines,
I think you'll find I'm getting on just fine,

I loved this song! I could imagine it with an upbeat tempo but starts of slow then kicks in at the chorus? I don't know that's just how I see it ahahah but yeah I really loved the bit where it was:

I though that bit was the strongest definitely! However I was abit unsure whether the song was ment to be short, or maybe another verse and the chorus repeated could fill it out abit? Sorry I don't want to offend you because I think the song is really great!
Keep up the amazing work
Best wishes miss seventeen

I was thinking the first verse has a chord change with an electric guitar :]
I just wanted to get my feelings out so I hurried it, haha!
Cheers for the comments :]

not delved much into the lyrics section like but theres some decent lyrics kicking about
good work with this one
do you play these songs on your guitar then or are they just lyrics to a potential song what you have in your head?

Thanks - I'm just a beginner, just getting the hang of it :]
It's weird, but I write songs without an instrument. I'm not sure if
anyone else does this...
Thanks for the comments :)

Yes i do..but i also use guitar.....my best stuff comes from my imagination...but sometimes the instrument helps me to get around a tight corner,,when i`m losing the flow or i need a bridge.
-
That's great!
Maybe if I advance a bit more on guitar I'll try it :]

"because I can forget the words" Makes a nice change from never forgetting them!
Surviving a relationship and coming out the other end intact and strong is good news.
Is it fininshed? Seems a lot left to say.
Enjoyed very much. Terry.

haha yeah, get that acoustic guitar tuned up and get a song up in the review section 8)

Haha. It is tuned up but I don't have lessons anymore... also I find it
difficult to make the lyrics go with the right chord
