Spintunes 13 Challenge #2 - Dear Me: Write a song of advice, sung by your present self to your 15-year-old self, in the form of a letter.
This is actually the first version of this song which is a bit more song-y but when I thought about it and ran this version by my brother he said "letters don't have choruses" and I had to do a rewrite, but was really proud of the original so it gets to stay as well :)
lyrics
Hey,
Before I say what there is to say,
It's gonna be OK
He
Wasn't all that we made him to be,
But now he's what you need
Please take this letter as a sign
You wish you were better, but just give it time
She
Will make your mind all foggy and blurred
But you'll get over her
They saw your whole heart torn open in fear
And they're still here
Please take this letter as a sign
You wish you were better, but just give it time
To breathe...
Stop and smell the roses
And sip a little wine
Hold yourself the closest
And always speak your mind
Never go out searching, cuz trouble always finds a way
You're getting better, day by day...
You
Have all you need, it's wrapped up inside
But it's OK to cry
We
Have seen the edge, we've been to the brink
We're stronger than they think
Please take this letter as a sign
You wish you were better, but just give it time
To breathe, and seethe...
Stop and smell the roses
And sip a little wine
Hold yourself the closest
And always speak your mind
Never go out searching, cuz trouble always finds a way
You're getting better, day by day...
I
I'm doing fine, but I don't know why
I'm still afraid to cry
