It’s Not Always Anyone’s Fault

About Lyrics,

Without You Here is basically about how two people, no matter how hard they try, just aren’t meant to be together. In hindsight she probably should have realised that he wasn’t the one from their first date, but hey sometimes people don’t make good first impressions.

When relationships end, it’s not always anyone fault, and I wanted to write lyrics depicting that. She might have been the one to end it, but he wouldn’t have been happy too. He had to have known, had to have felt that something wasn’t right.

Well, anyway that my opinion on a story I made up.

Without You Here

Lyrics, ,

The story of our first date
Is just like a fairy tale
He’s the guy you meet before
A date destined to fail
The conversation flowed
Just like a frozen lake
Before we got to dinner
I knew this was a mistake
I could feel time ticking by
As we ate in silence
I was glad not to hear more
Of his work in finance

Sometimes I think I’m better off by myself

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

I gave us a second chance
Fast forward to next year
With our white picket fence
Life was sitting in first gear
Every night was the same
I’m making lists in my head
Or just lying awake while
He plays with me in our bed
I didn’t know what was wrong
But this didn’t feel right
Shouldn’t I love you by now
Instead I just think you’re nice

Sometimes I think I’m better off by myself

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

I can’t do this anymore
I just can’t live this way
Life shouldn’t be a chore
I want to enjoy each day
Being with you was like
Nails on a chalk board
You aren’t what I want in life
I left your things by the door

Dinners for one
Don’t feel so bad
I’m fine on my own
No overnight bag
Without you here
I can feel that spark
And my beating heart
Enjoy my life at last
Without you here
And all that I could do
The truth I never knew
Is that I don’t miss you

Serial Cheaters

About Lyrics, ,

I Should Have Known is about those relationships where the guy is a serial cheater, but the girl keeps forgiving him because she loves him. He says he loves her and that he’s sorry, but then he does it again. This time it was the last straw.

It’s sad that there are girls out there who think they aren’t good enough to deserve a guy who loves them too much to cheat on them, but it happens. I, personally, am incapable of forgiving betrayal, so I couldn’t be ones these girls.

Yes, people make mistakes. Once is a mistake. Twice is a choice. I need girls to realise this.

I feel bad, because I’m a girl and I write in a girls perspective. I always feel like I’m attacking guys, but girls can be the cheaters too. So guys, I apologise. Not all of you are bad and not all girls are good.

Roxanne

I Should Have Known

Lyrics, ,

It’s late at night when you come home
Staring at a picture of us
Can’t help but think I should have known
You would do this to me again
I see her lipstick on your shirt
And is that Chanel I can smell
It almost doesn’t even hurt
So I ask what happened this time

And this is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

Of course this isn’t the first time
That you found some girl to climb
Like a kid in a candy store
You had me but you wanted more
You always seem to put me last
So now all that is left to ask
As my world begins to shatter
Does this between us not matter?

And this is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

This isn’t something I’ll forget
Unlike your footprints in the sand
Cause even if you feel regret
This can’t just be washed away
So go on now say you’re sorry
It’s what you do when you confess
This time you don’t have to worry
Cause I won’t be taking you back

This is what he said

The room is dark and hazy
And people are getting crazy
I feel the bass in my bones
And my gaze begins to roam
Then I see her standing there
Though who she is I don’t care
Cause I would show her the world
Even if she’s not my girl

A Girl Can Dream

About Lyrics, , ,

It would suffice to say I wasn’t the most popular girl in high school. I had friends, good friends that I’m still friends with now, but we weren’t the most desirable group of girls. At least according to the guys in our year. But towards the beginning of high school, before our status was really cemented, one of the popular guys showed interest in me.

We had to sit next to each other in several different classes and after a while he started to like me. When he told me he liked me, I didn’t believe him. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t. He asked me out and I said yes.

But it was weird because we didn’t hang out outside of class, nothing really changed. Except his friends were apparently trying to get him to break up with me because I wasn’t good enough, popular enough, for him.

After three days he gave in and had one of his friends break up with me for him.

‘This Isn’t High School’ is about that and how I wasn’t good enough for them then, but I’ve changed. I’m no longer that girl, I’ve grown into a more confident, more self-assured version of her. It’s about how if they could see me now, what would they think of me, would they still judge me the same way.

Yes, in the lyrics I’m a famous singer and that hasn’t happened, but a girl can dream. Part of the lyrics are real, the other I’m calling a premonition.

This Isn’t High School

Lyrics, , ,

We flirted for months
You said you liked me
We dated for days
It was over in three
But then that’s high school
Girls like me don’t date
We suffer in silence
Through all the hate

But I’m not in high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for them
I wonder what they’d say now
If they’d judge me again
But they won’t bring me down

He said he liked me
But they talked him round
So he ended it
Without making a sound
Cause like a coward
He didn’t do it himself
Someone else told me
I’d be by myself

But I’m not in high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for them
I wonder what they’d say now
If they’d judge me again
But they won’t bring me down

I look out into the crowd
From my place in the spotlight
When I see him standing there
Please don’t let this be right
I wasn’t enough back then
But now you can see
What you were all missing
You said you liked me

But this isn’t high school anymore
Cause now I’m up on stage
Singing to a packed floor
As I dreamt from a young age
I wasn’t cool enough for you
I wonder what you’d say now
But no matter what you do
You won’t bring me down

Love

Happily Ever After

About Lyrics, , ,

Paper Crown was written about how when you’re a kid life seems happy and good. But it’s not always. You get told you can be anything you want, do anything you want, but at the time when I was writing it, I didn’t feel so hopeful.

There are always things trying to put you down, obstacles you must face, and sometimes it overwhelms me. Sometimes I feel like I can’t overcome any of it. I just want to go back to when I was a kid and things were simpler.

But all children must grow up and discover that the world isn’t always good. They can be hurt, trampled on and kicked while they’re down, even killed.

But in the end you must have hope that one day your dreams will come true, that you will have that happily ever after you wished for as a kid. We need hope. Without it, what’s the point in living, of life in general.

I have hope. Do you?

Love
Roxanne

Paper Crown

Lyrics, , ,

We’re told when we’re young
That we can be anything
The sky is the limit
But don’t believe a thing
You could wish on a star
You could do all things right
But every star dies
Even those that burn bright
And when you step outside
You might not come home
The evil in this world
Could take you before you’ve grown

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Too bad her paper crown
Will get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Won’t make it through tea

When did life get so dark
We used to have dreams
But then we grew up and
Life was not what it seemed
What happened to those days
The ones on the playground
Where everyone was friendly
And no evil to be found
Let’s go back to those days
The ones filled with laughter
When we truly believed
In happy ever after

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Too bad her paper crown
Will get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Won’t make it through tea

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Make a wish you will go far
But then when you grow old
And see the lies you were told
It leaves you feeling cold

There was a young princess
Wearing a pink dress
With a paper crown
To match her pretty gown
She had a little tea party
With all her hopes and dreams
Maybe her paper crown
Won’t get torn somehow
And all those hopes and dreams
Will make it through tea

Love

The Difference Between Life And Death

About Lyrics, , ,

Please Don’t is about bullying, physical and cyber bullying, and how sometimes that’s all a person needs to push them over the edge, to commit suicide.

You never know what’s going on inside someone’s mind or in their life. One comment from could you could be the difference between life and death, so you should always make yours a positive one.

I wrote this after some comments I saw on Twitter. There was a bit of an internet war between two different groups of fans and one fandom created a hashtag that said the other fandom should cut deeper next time. There’s never a reason to wish someone would kill themselves.

Bullying and suicide rates have gone up since the invention of social media because it’s harder to protect children against it, but also once a comment is made on social media, it doesn’t just blow away in the wind. It sits there, further emphasising it in the victims mind.

Not to diminish the effect of in person bullying, but that’s not usually happening in the home. A child might go to school and get bullied but, before social media, that’s where it ended. They got a break. But now, it doesn’t have doesn’t there.

Even if it’s a joke, if you don’t mean it, your words affect others. Please think about this next time you go to say something. Or if your on the receiving end of the bullying and you think they only way to stop it is if you kill yourself, please don’t.

Panic! At The Disco

All Things Music

I just watched Panic! At The Disco doing a cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and I had to show you guys.

I don’t know about you, but I think they did an awesome job. Not even Queen used to do the crazy part towards the end when they played live. They would play the film clip of that part on a screen in the background.

When doing Bohemian Rhapsody live, the entire song, it’s either going to be a hit or a miss. Congrats to the Panic!
boys for doing an amazing job.

Love
