i wrote a love song during the coronavirus outbreak

I WROTE A LOVE SONG DURING THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

I awake to the sunlight reigning down upon my face

While the stars and midnight dark engulf your place

Oh I know, that distance hurts a little more each day

I wish that I could take away the pain

If I could, I would rather spend my time alone with you

But instead, I'm left with nothing here to do

Yeah, I guess, I'll write this song and hope this message will get through

'Cuz I can't go much longer without you

Human nature, please stop getting in my way

Please don't let the hurt sustain

I want to be there, and say I love you every day

But rest for now and dream while I'm away

When it gets hard, all I need is just a picture of your face

Because of you, I can go about my day

From my phone, your voice reverberates and resonates to say:

I wish that I could take away your pain

Human nature, please stop getting in my way

Please don't let the hurt sustain

I want to be there, and say I love you every day

But rest for now and dream while I'm away

Ooh, dream while I'm away

Oooh

Oh oh yeah

Imagine all of the things we'd do if you were here today

Watch the sunset together unafraid

But I guess, I'll write this song and hope this message will get through

But rest for now and dream while I'm away

can't keep us quiet

CAN'T KEEP US QUIET

Darling, you just need to open up your mind

See through different eyes

And understand that we’re simply one in same, you’re no better than me first of all

And recognize that we are in a different time

It’s a brand new life

Somehow, you think you still can control their perceptions by lying to them about us

You better wake up now because

I’m so sick of hiding in the background

So sick of being talked over

So sick of living in the dark and putting up with you for so long

We got something say

I promise you, things won’t be the same

You can’t keep us quiet much longer

Yeah, you can’t keep us quiet much longer

(Listen)

Hiding my true colors in this masquerade

Sticking to your game

So accustomed to the facade I put on to survive in this world and go on

I was used to living life under disguise

With no trace of pride

But now I’m starting to see the light in the sky and I won’t be silent no more

You better wake up now because

I’m so sick of hiding in the background

So sick of being talked over

So sick of living in the dark and putting up with you for so long

We got something say

I promise you, things won’t be the same

You can’t keep us quiet much longer

You can't keep us quiet much longer

(You can't, you can't, you can't

Woah, woah, woah

Yeah, yeah)

I'm so used to living life under disguise

I don’t want to live my under disguise

We’re so tired hiding who are in inside (Yeah, yeah)

We don’t want to cover who we are, no

What you don’t know,

What you don’t see,

Is that we are more than what you think

What you don't know

What you don't see

Is that we can get things going

Don’t you try

Testing me

Cuz I’m more than what you think, and oh

We’ll prove you wrong, it’s true because

I’m so sick of hiding in the background

So sick of being talked over

So sick of living in the dark and putting up with you for so long (So long)

We got something say (Hey)

I promise you, things won’t be the same (Things won't be the same)

You can’t keep us quiet much longer

(Can't keep us quiet no more)

Yeah, you can't keep us quiet much longer

You can't, you can't, you can't (Can't keep us quiet no more)

Woah, woah, woah (Can't keep us quiet no more)

Yeah, yeah (Can't keep us quiet no more)

reminiscing

REMINISCING

Hey, I’ve thinking about everything, letting it play inside my mind

Why are you on my mind?

I spent too many times wondering if you’re gonna call me back tonight

Praying you’d call tonight

It’s unfair that i care for you more than you ever will for me

It’s a shot in the dark, and nobody answers me

It’s crazy how i’m hoping for some peace

When you broke every single part of me

These days I feel nothing I’ve been reminiscing too much

Wanting you to hold me, I’ve been reminiscing too much

I’ve been afraid of letting the memories go downstream

But lately I’ve been convincing myself that

I’m better without you here

Change happened way too fast; suddenly, you become someone I didn’t know

How could I lose control?

I cry, looking at night sky, remembering how we would talk all night

Where are you tonight?

I admit that I’m selfish and jealous of everything she has

I ain’t perfect, I’m human, and I can’t put that aside

It’s crazy how I’m hoping for some peace

When in truth I don’t deserve your everything

These days I feel nothing I’ve been reminiscing too much

Wanting you to hold me, I’ve been reminiscing too much

I’ve been afraid of letting the memories go downstream

But lately I’ve been convincing myself that

I’m better without you here

(But am I really better?)

Did I learn from my mistakes?

Fixing all the issues that were getting in our way, love

Guess i haven’t really changed, love

(I should be getting better)

You already walked away

There’s no point in trying hard convincing you to stay, love

But I don’t wanna start up all these changes

These days I feel nothing I’ve been reminiscing too much

Wanting you to hold me, I’ve been reminiscing too much (reminiscing too much)

I’ve been afraid of letting the memories go downstream

But lately I’ve been convincing myself that

I’m better without you here

I’m just trying to get some rest

call

CALL

Wishing I could call you again 'cause I hate that it’s over

A little bit of you was all I asked for, oh

I’m guessing you don’t understand what it means to be loyal

'Cause I’d still take your side through it all

I thought that you were someone else

But guess what, you’re just like all the rest

(Mistreating me, boy)

Turns out my faith was way too high

Believing that you’d forget your pride

Am I just your toy?

I keep looking back at the path that we’ve made, it’s a maze of emotions, I know

And I understand that you left and you’re trying to save yourself only

I wish I could call you again 'cause I hate that it’s over

A little bit of you was all I asked for, oh

I’m guessing you don’t understand what it means to be loyal

'Cause I’d still take your side through it all

You got me wishing I could call, yeah

(Wishing I could call, you got me wishing I could)

You got me wishing I could call, oh

(Waiting for your call, you got me waiting for your)

Call

I prayed to God that I could be

Finally at a state of peace

Because you ruined me, boy

Don’t understand how I survived

Breathing in all your empty cries

You’ve taken my joy

I spend every moment and hour remembering how we used to be

And sometimes, boy, I hate to admit that I still want that back even though it’s not right for me

Wishing I could call you again 'cause I hate that it’s over

A little bit of you was all I asked for, oh

I’m guessing you don’t understand what it means to be loyal

'Cause I’d still take your side through it all

You got me wishing I could call, yeah

(Wishing I could call, you got me wishing I could)

You got me wishing I could call, oh

(Waiting for your call, you got me waiting for your)

Call

(Wishing I could call, you got me wishing I could)

(Waiting for your call, you got me waiting for your)

I'm waiting for your call

(Wishing I could call, you got me wishing I could)

(Waiting for your call, you got me waiting for your)

Please, just call

someone else

SOMEONE ELSE

I think I get it, you wanna make me look pathetic and

It's getting harder to ignore the little things that you do

That you do

Don't understand it, running back and forth from heaven, it's

So complicated, 'cause my heart's going to war with my head

With my head

But I gave you the key

I let you see the broken parts of me

I thought you would see

You could be the one to put me in peace

In one piece

But would you have loved me if I were someone else? (Oh)

Would you have loved me if I were someone else?

Of course, I regret it, I regret opening up to you

I was too eager to finally have you for my own

My own

Oh, don't you see just how much I'm in need of your love?

Thought we were closer but I guess I'm still a stranger to you

Oh, to you

But I gave you the key

I let you see the broken parts of me

I thought you would see

You could be the one to put me in peace, ooh

In one piece

But would you have loved me if I were someone else? (Oh)

Would you have loved me if I were someone else?

(Would you have loved me if I were someone else?)

Oh, how I wish I were somebody else (x4)

for the days when it seems like nothing is getting better

The sun will rise again

I promise, though it might not seem easy

You will smile again

Just trust me

I know what you're going through

I know what you feel

I know what's on your mind

So just let me in, I wanna be there for you

I'm telling you

You're making my world better

And I would be so lost without you

And I refuse

To let you think less of yourself

I'm here for you

You

You can cry again

I know it feels like nothing ever gets better

But see the sky again

In the distance

Yes, I know what you're going through

I know what you feel

I know what's on your mind

I've been there before, so let me be there for you

I'm telling you

You're making my world better

And I would be so lost without you

And I refuse

To let you think less of yourself

Oh, 'cause I'm here for you

You

(Is it over now? Is it over now?)

(I don't wanna go where I don't know, where I don't)

(Is it over now? Is it over now?)

(I don't wanna go where I don't know, where I don't)

FRESH WOUNDS

Another day, another night

Struggling to get you off my mind

Seven days, but still no time

All the cars are passing by

Everyone has something on their minds

A million thoughts, but still you're mine

If I guessed where you are tonight,

Maybe you're somewhere out there

With someone in your arms

Oh, I want so bad to be wrong

It's hard to imagine you now

Without wanting to get out of this storm, oh

So I'm taking my time

I'll be alright

The wound is fresh in my heart, darling

Why do I try when you won't even wait for me?

It's hard to get by

I don't feel right

A void is left in my heart, darling

I ended right back at the start

Don't wanna stand in all the lights

Gotta let the tears dry from my eyes

Another hour, another cry

Looking back into my mind

I'm hunting for the moment that you lied

When you said "I'll stay in your life"

I'm not ready to walk away

I know I can't stay forever

You want me out your life, right?

Now the silence fills the space

Between us, there's nothing left here

There's nothing left but scars upon my sleeve, oh

So I'm taking my time

I'll be alright

The wound is fresh in my heart, darling

Why do I try when you won't even wait for me? (Won't even wait for me)

It's hard to get by

I don't feel right

A void is left in my heart, darling

I ended right back at the start

So I'm taking my time

I'll be alright

The wound is fresh in my heart, darling

Why do I try (I try) when you won't even wait for me? (Won't even wait for me, no)

It's hard to get by

I don't feel right

A void is left in my heart (A void is left inside), darling

I ended right back at the start

FEARS

I can't replace what I've got going on

This canvas permanently sticks around

I wish I were stronger, I wish I were you

I wish I were honest to tell you the truth

I wish I were fearless, I wish I didn't care

About what you think

I can't deny that I'm a wreck, you know

I can't be like the other girls you know

I wish I were perfect, I wish I were you

I wish I weren't conscious of my every move

I wish I were slim, I wish I didn't care

About what they say

Where am I to go when the light is fading out of my way?

Where am I to go when I'm broken down and drowning in pain?

These fears consume me

All the time

How do I get by?

(Why do we resent ourselves?)

(Why can I not love myself?)

Still we go, and we go

I'm reaching out for open arms

In this storm, in this storm of mine

Someday I pray you'll come back to us

(Why do we resent ourselves?)

(Why can I not love myself?)

(Why do we resent ourselves?)

(Why can I not love myself?)

I wish I weren't anxious, I wish I were you

I wish I belonged here, I wish I were true

I wish I weren't stressed, I wish I didn't care

Wish I didn't care

I'LL STOP

Sometimes, I think that we'll lose our way

And in time, I know that we're bound to change

But I know

With this rain in the sky and the pain coming back to life, I think twice

And I know

That if I gave you the chance you would never make it right

So I'll stop waiting outside your door

I'll stop expecting that you'll regret it

And I'll stop all my feelings before

I get too hurt

The light is fading much more each day (Oh)

But I pray some sanity will remain

'Cause the fire in the night's gonna keep burning up these skies, am I right?

In my eyes, we're gonna run back and forth in this storm and that's for sure

So I'll stop waiting outside your door

I'll stop expecting that you'll regret it

And I'll stop all my feelings before

I get too hurt

How can I be sure that you won't deceive me into falling even more?

Tell me, is there more? Just so I can walk away with feelings all assured, oh

So I'll stop waiting outside your door

I'll stop expecting that you'll regret it

And I'll stop all my feelings before

I get too hurt

COLORS

Blue, suddenly your love's turning blue

Now the lights started flickering, slowly dimming losing its hue

Gray, the color's reflected on my face

I've been staring at the walls, letting darkness sink in

Tell me, darling, what should I do?

Darling, you've turned so cold

And I wish that I would've known

Who you'd turn out to be

Didn't know you could be this cruel

And I acted just like a fool

What's wrong with me?

You seemed inviting and kind when I first met you but

Now I see your true intentions and now

Looking back, I was too in love to pay attention to this, oh

The colors of our love were slowly fading out

How? How did we drift so far apart?

The skies keep darkening as the clock continues ticking on and on

Boy, I wasted all my time trying to fix the broken pieces

Should've known you didn't care for me (I know now you didn't care for me)

Oh, we could've made things better, but you chose to burn it all instead

Darling, you've turned so cold

And I wish that I would've known

Who you'd turn out to be

Didn't know you could be this cruel

And I acted just like a fool

What's wrong with me?

You seemed inviting and kind when I first met you but

Now I see your true intentions and now

Looking back, I was too in love to pay attention to this, oh

The colors of our love were slowly fading out

I should've known it all along

But my feelings for you were too strong (Hey, oh)

I guess I was too blind to see

That your love was just not right for me

Darling, you've turned so cold

And I wish that I would've known

Who you'd turn out to be

Didn't know you could be this cruel

And I acted just like a fool

What's wrong with me?

You seemed inviting and kind when I first met you but

Now I see your true intentions and now

Looking back, I was too in love to pay attention to this, oh

The colors of our love were slowly fading out

RANDOM ACAPELLA SONG

I have ambitions and dreams of my own

I have a life that I want to control

But I guess you don't see the potential in me

I have opinions and feelings, you know

I have a voice that I want to be heard

And I just can't bottle it in no more, oh

I am not an illusion, I won't disappear

I'm telling you, do not forget me, my dear

Just hold on and wait, it'll soon be my time to shine, oh

I'll keep on going despite what you say

I'll work hard until I see night turn to day

And I'll do things my way and show you that I'm meant to stay

Your words don't mean a thing to me

They're not my biggest enemy

I'll go on and do what makes me feel free, oh

You try to make me feel so small

But I'll keep moving right along

So keep talking, I won't hear a thing

I have the power to do what I want

I have the strength to keep moving along but you're

Still underestimating everything that I do

I have the choice to accept or deny

I have a say in what's wrong or what's right

But you still choose to make me feel so powerless

You can tell me that I have no chance in this world

But one day I'll get all the tables to turn

For now I'll let the chips fall where they may

I'll continue to sing and you'll never stop me

'Cause I know exactly who I'm supposed to be

And I won't let you change me and make me a part of your game

Your words don't mean a thing to me

They're not my biggest enemy

I'll go on and do what makes me feel free, oh

You try to make me feel so small

But I'll keep moving right along

So keep talking, I won't hear a thing

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No (x2)

Your words don't mean a thing to me, no

They're not my biggest enemy, yeah

Your words don't mean a thing to me

They're not my biggest enemy

I'll go on and do what makes me feel free, oh

You try to make me feel so small

But I'll keep moving right along

So keep talking, I won't hear a thing

(No, I won't hear a single thing they say)

(Say what you want about me, baby)
