I generally hate to see lyrics printed out because they look so corny that way. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and post some here, because I am interested in the reckless communal exchange of ideas. And because I want to be a better, less inhibited lyricist. Also, I have cyberdiarrhea.
This is what I got for Christmas.
i am the king of all loneliness
happier sad, i confess it’s true
i'd rather be blue
you’re the one with the famous smile
eyes alight with the simple joy of a child
impossibly blue
seemed a bit too much to ask of you
the heart will always do what it wants to, but it’s alright
babe, it’s alright
i am the prince of naiveté
all romantic ideals and useless dreams
so it seems
you’re the one bearing tragedy
“life is brutal,” you said as much to me
and i agree
i can’t blame you for running out this way
now that you’re gone, i only wanted to say that it’s alright
babe, it’s alright
you and i will most probably never speak of this again
but i know your heart is big and open to feel sorry for these things
so don’t this time…
i’m the boy singing all sad songs
conversations with someone who has gone
and since moved on
you’re the girl with the brand new day
who never liked my songs much anyway
and that’s okay
so i will try to get this off my chest
go with God and know i want the best...for you
babe, it’s alright
a mi, me gusta. I wonder if it is about a real life situation or not? Haven't heard the music, of course, but I think it could be a hit single.
BTW, Kelly really likes the piano song on the cd... is it Vernazza Love Song?
