I've been writing lyrics for a few years now, none of them are very good, but I figured I'd just post one of them here. If you don't like it, please, no "leik, OMGZRZZ taht leik suX0rzz!!!111!!!11111!!!!!!" Thanks. This is my latest attempt, it's designed to be an acoustic alternative rock song.
When Time Runs Out
It's been two minutes, seven seconds since I saw you
Sittin there
Lookin up at the sky
With ambition in your eye
Then you saw me and I had to stare
It's been one day, fifteen hours, twenty minutes, fifty seconds
Since we met
And then a problem arose
And as the story goes
There was something that we couldn't get
And I know I messed up
And I know I was wrong
And you think you were too
But apart we are now
And I just don't get how
But there's something I must do
It's been two days, nine hours, ten minutes, sixteen seconds
Since I saw you last
Now I know time is gone
I start singing this song
And I see you standing past
And I know I messed up
And I know I was wrong
And this is my last chance
I can't decide what to do
Should I just talk to you?
I don't have time right now for "I can't"s
It's been six weeks, for days, two hours, forty minutes
Since I watched you walk away
I let my one last chance go
And I think you should know
I hurt for you everyday
Oh how time flies by
The year's at its end
But it feels like just yester day we met
We thought we were good
And we thought that we could
But it was gone, left not set
Oh it was gone, left not set
Now I know I messed up
Now I know I was wrong
And now I've got nothing left to live
Oh the nights I have prayed
And the hope that has stayed
I wanted you for my love to give
For my love to give
