Reassemble Me

Lyrics, , , , ,

I came to you battered and bruised
With scars so deep I’m torn in two
But at arm’s length you never knew
The broken thoughts I kept from you
I wake each day and start my fight
With band aids I keep inside
From demons you can’t know I hide
Til I’m wrapped around a street light

I know this isn’t what you had in mind
Picking up pieces of my broken heart
But trying to fix me will take time
So just hold me while I fall apart
If you try to talk through the tears
Even if it came from your heart
Your words will fall on tired ears
So just hold me while I fall apart

My self-made false reality
Hides a minefield just below your feet
Each step there’s a risk you can’t see
I’m not the only one who will bleed
For days I’m lost in my own disguise
Til I start tearing on the inside
When the cracks start to show at midnight
Takes more than love to bring me to life

I know this isn’t what you had in mind
Picking up pieces of my broken heart
But trying to fix me will take time
So just hold me while I fall apart
If you try to talk through the tears
Even if it came from your heart
Your words will fall on tired ears
So just hold me while I fall apart

Gone is the girl who resembles me
Please bring her back, reassemble me
Gone is the girl who resembles me
Please bring her back, reassemble me
Gone is the girl who resembles me
Please bring her back, reassemble me

I know this isn’t what you had in mind
Picking up pieces of my broken heart
But trying to fix me will take time
So just hold me while I fall apart
If you try to talk through the tears
Even if it came from your heart
Your words will fall on tired ears
So just hold me while I fall apart

Rejection

About Lyrics, , , ,

So Early Morning Regret is about how sometimes after you share and evening with someone, *cough* have sex *cough*, you can feel like you have a connection with that person. But then when you wake up they’ve done a runner, or dine and dash if you will, and you’re left all alone.

These lyrics are about that feeling you get when you realise that person did not feel the connection you felt. The sting of realising that, while you were fun for a while, they never wanted to see you again. Rejection.

Now I could give you some motivational advice like “If that’s how they treated you, than you were better off.” Or “If it’s meant to be, it will be.” But all you’re feeling in that moment is hurt and maybe a little embarrassed. That’s ok.

Feel however you want to feel. If you’re angry, be angry. If you’re sad, be sad. The main thing I learned from a group therapy session I had to take one time is that no one can tell you how to feel and that you’re feelings matter.

Feeling your feelings is the best way to heal and better yourself. Then, once you feel better and more confident about yourself again, stalk the person who hurt you, arrange an ‘accidental’ meeting, show that person what they’re missing.

I’m kidding, don’t stalk them. *Wink*

No seriously. Don’t stalk them.

Early Morning Regret

Lyrics, , , ,

Lying in the after glow
Sore in all the right places
Some how I knew I’d never know
I’d still wake to empty spaces
Even when just making out
I felt we had a connection
Of course you’re faking it now
It just another rejection

I am,
Your early morning regret
Your cast away, your secret
My badly scarred heart
Was always the reject
You are,
My nights spent lying awake
My empty bed, my heartbreak
You’re the reason it hurts
Every breath I take

A lady between the sheets
Is not enough for you
When I’m a freak in the streets
With blue hair and tattoos
I’m always the last resort
But I won’t make it easy
You want an unpaid escort
But I won’t be that sleazy

I am,
Your early morning regret
Your cast away, your secret
My badly scarred heart
Was always the reject
You are,
My nights spent lying awake
My empty bed, my heartbreak
You’re the reason it hurts
Every breath I take

The good girls not good enough
And bad girls you’ve had enough
While I try to act all tough
I just want somebody to love
The good girls not good enough
And bad girls you’ve had enough
While I try to act all tough
I just need somebody to love

I am,
Your early morning regret
Your cast away, your secret
My badly scarred heart
Was always the reject
You are,
My nights spent lying awake
My empty bed, my heartbreak
You’re the reason it hurts
Every breath I take

A Psychotic Girl

About Lyrics,

Wilhelm Scream took me weeks to write. Usually I can complete a set of lyrics in a day or two if I’m motivated enough (I do wonder if they sound like they’ve been rushed) but these lyrics took me so long because I came out with this chorus and a melody to go with it but I had no idea what the lyrics were supposed to mean.

I usually come up with an idea first then start writing with a line or two as the inspiration but with Wilhelm Scream, I had these lines and I didn’t know exactly what they meant but they were catchy. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted them to say.

But in the end I decided to make it about a girl who can sometimes be really sweet to a guy but then sometimes be a total bitch. Not like girls normally are (hey I’m a girl too, so no offence intended) with their mood swings but more on the psychotic side. Yet this guy sticks around because for some reason he craves the crazy side of her too. He’s so caught up in her drama that he doesn’t realise it’s unhealthy for him.

So in a way they are equal parts perfect for each other and wrong for each other.

Love
Roxanne

P.S. Sorry I haven’t been writing much. I haven’t been that motivated but I’m getting some of that back.

Wilhelm Scream

Lyrics, ,

Light shines through the curtain
Your heart starts beating fast
Each morning I awake
Walking on broken glass
Who will win this tug of war
The beauty or the beast
Both keep you by my side
With your self-imposed leash
The clocks stop as I wake
The time to run has past
With a smile on my face
The beast awakes at last

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

I’m the girl in your nightmares
The monster in your dreams
And the beat of your heart
Is enough to make me scream
As my patience wears you down
Like a chain round your neck
The bomb in me starts ticking
Just wait til I’m upset
But you come crawling back
Each time I scare you away
I’m the Queen of your heart
I command you to stay

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
He sleeps with his finger
Resting on the trigger
Didn’t your mama teach you
Don’t bite the hand that beats you

I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
That just drives you insane
And the click of my heels
Has you running away
The venom from my lips
Leaves you crying my name
I’ve got that Wilhelm Scream
You don’t try to escape

Sinceriously

About Lyrics,

The Day That I Met You is about when you meet someone who you know is bad for you, that you know will only break your heart, but you just have to be with them. Something about them just makes you want to be near them even though you know it will cause you pain. A Bad Boy.

I just realised that this sounds a lot like Taylor Swift’s I Knew You Were Trouble. I guess great songwriters think alike. Just kidding, but I would love to one day be compared to her. She just seems so real.

Now since I’m like eternally single, I haven’t actually been in this situation, but this is what I imagine it would be like. That’s how it is in the movies. I watch a lot of movies. And TV shows. Sinceriously. One time I counted and it was like 50.

Roxanne

P.S Even though I used the word Sinceriously, this is not related to Stephen Amell

P.P.S If you don’t know who Stephen Amell is, you should look him up because he is an awesome human being

The Day I Met You

Lyrics, ,

My black nail polish is chipped
And my eye makeup has smeared
From day one I knew this would end
But I didn’t care or fear it
I was drawn to you and your charm
Like a moth to a burning flame
I needed to be around you
But two couldn’t play your game
It’s like the middle of winter
Living in your cold selfish heart
I knew I would only get hurt
But I fell too hard and fast

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

My long hair was tied in knots
And the colour has washed out
He said he wanted to talk
But I knew what it was about
I could feel this day coming
Ever since I came home that day
I found her lying in my bed
I don’t know why I even stayed
Just your average love story
The good girls meets the bad boy
I wished for a happy ending
But I was just your play toy

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

I lost it
I couldn’t take it no more
I stuck by you all this time
And you leave me for that whore
I lost it
I threw your favourite glass
It hit the door you just slammed
The pieces shattered my heart

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

Distorted Ideas

About Lyrics, ,

Love Is is about how these days people have this idea that love is perfect. They seem to think that once you find the one that you’ll never fight and life will great. This is wrong.

Fairy tales and movies has distorted people’s ideas of what being in love is like. It’s not realistic. Even with The One, you will still argue, you will fight. If you go into a relationship and at the first fight you think that that must mean they’re not The One, then no one will ever be The One.

Don’t think that I’m immune to this. I, myself, am guilty of it too. We just have to be aware that just because you fight doesn’t mean you aren’t perfect together, and just because you don’t fight doesn’t mean you are.

Love Is

Lyrics, ,

It was love at first sight
I looked at him and I knew
We’d always be together
And our love would be true
I just haven’t met you yet
We’ll be two parts of one whole
You could show me the world
And I would bear you my soul

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

Today he bought me flowers
Just because he loves me
It had a card that said
I was his honeybee
He treats me like a princess
Buys me lots of diamonds
He even got me a tiara
Maybe next an island

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

He’s always there for me
Like my own man of steel
He lends me his strength
When I just can’t deal
He’s not a bird or a plane
But he’s my superman
So you can call me Lois
Cause I’m his number one fan

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

This myth that love is always perfect
Is the reason it’s so hard to find
Stop searching for a fairytale
And wait for your one of a kind

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

Just Something Fun

About Lyrics, ,

Mrs Robinson is a reference to the film The Graduate and was written about how when I was 16, some of my younger brother’s friends kind of had a crush on me.

I know it sounds egotistical but it’s been tweaked and exaggerated to sound more interesting than it was. They started liking me, nothing happened and then they moved on. So interesting, right?

There’s no deeper meaning to this one. I just wanted to write something fun. Sometimes I do that.

Roxanne
