Hello fellow musicians! I have been working on some new songs that I plan to put in a mixtape, and hopefully they are all ready to be released on the world mental health day. This is the first of them I am finished with, and also the last I started writing. A few minor fixes on the mixing of the vocals, and maybe add some soft melodies to fill the chords, and I have already re-written some lines after I recorded, once I got to hear how it sounded.
All of my most painful songs recently have all had one thing in common, they all come out as raps. I don`t know, I just find it easier to tell the story with rap. This one is about one of my closest friends who lost some of her closest family recently, and we`re in two different countries, also separated by a gigantic ocean and Africa in the middle. It`s about me wanting to be there for her in a time like this, and just be there by her side, and about the pain I feel in her voice every time we talk.
I appreciate any feedback, if there`s something I can do make the song better or some tips for the mixing of the vocals
LyricsI don’t want you to cry babe
Let me in on your pain
When you`re having bad days
I make them all go away
You used to smile
Made my world stop turning for a while
And now you make me cry
I know you`re sad and I know the reason why
Losing someone that you love so much
I know it hurts, let me be your crutch
I`ll be there to keep you safe with just one touch
I slay down your monsters I love you this much
I know things have been difficult
But you can be the miracle
If you can get past the sorrow that you feel
I know babe that in time you will heal
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I know it hurts when you cry
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I see the sadness in your eyes
I`ll take away all of your pain
If you want me to I`ll be there for you
I`ll hold you close, chase down all your ghosts
If you want me to I`ll be there for you
When you see yourself in the mirror
And you hate who you`d become
Your tears form a river
And you think that you are gonna drown
The make-up stain is raining from your face
I`ll come to the rescue i`ll be your saving grace
I`ll put my arms around you and hold you to my heart
I`ll break every barrier that are keeping us apart
All of the pain you have built up inside
Is it real or just a reflection of your life
Will it pass, will it disappear with time
Or will it last, will it break you down inside
Intoxicated, your thoughts don`t make sense they`re so damn
Complicated, you can`t think you just wanna forget everything
But nothing does matter any more
You can`t go back to the way it was before, they`re gone
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I know it hurts when you cry
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I see the sadness in your eyes
I`ll take away all of your pain
If you want me to I`ll be there for you
I`ll hold you close, chase down all your ghosts
If you want me to I`ll be there for you
The sadness in your tears they tell their own story
I know all your fears I know you don’t want me to worry
But I worry I just want you to be okay
I know you`re hurt I just don`t know what I can say
To make it better, to make your pain go away
To make your tears stop raining down your face
I wonder are you still sober afraid you`re gonna lose
Or are you drowning your pain in the sadness of the booze
Another shot of whiskey going down the drain
An hour passed the bottle`s empty and you make it rain
The pain you feel I know your heart`s been broken and shattered
You`re bleeding on the inside feels like you`ve been struck by a dagger
You drown your tears in the silence of the night
You know it`s necessary for your fam and friends that you stay and fight
You were gonna be in their life and guide them until the end
But now they`re gone and your mind just can`t comprehend
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I know it hurts when you cry
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I see the sadness in your eyes
