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.

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

The Day I Was Sent To The School Councillor

About Lyrics,

Unclear was written when I was in year 9. It’s basically about how I wanted to be done with high school and just skip to the part where I was happily married with a job I loved, and I baby on the way.

I didn’t like not knowing what the future would hold or what I wanted to do in life. But then, I realised, that skipping ahead means you miss all the fun you can have while you’re young and you miss out on a lot of opportunities.

When I wrote this, I pasted it in the front of my school diary, kind of like I do now, except it was a lot less public. My year advisor saw it one day, probably while giving me a detention for not having my hair up, and he found it distressing.

I don’t know why, it’s probably one of the least depressing lyrics I’ve written. After having a chat to me about whether I was ok, he then sent me to see the school councillor. I then had to explain to the councillor that writing helps to let out any emotions I have that are keeping me down.

If only that year advisor could see some of the stuff I write now.

Roxanne

Unclear

Lyrics, ,

I found some old lyrics that I wrote when I was much younger. I thought I’d share them with you.

I hate not knowing
Where I’ll be
Ten years from now
It’s an untold story

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

What comes next
Where to from here
It’s all one big question
And the answers I fear

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

If I could skip ahead
I wouldn’t miss a beat
All the places I’d go
All the people I’d meet

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

I hate my life
I hate where I am
I wish to go back
And do it all again

Today I cannot see
What happened to my past
And all those good times
They went by so fast

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

Love
Roxanne

I Hoped

About Lyrics,

Ok so, I promised myself I’d be honest on here and I want to keep that promise, but first I have to say this. If any relatives of mine are reading this, Mum, Dad, Nan? Please stop. This is not a story for you.

…

Turn back now.

…

Do not keep reading

…

‘The Life That I Lost’ you might have guessed (if you even read it, did you?) is about a time when I had a slight pregnancy scare. I was many weeks late and starting to get worried, so I told my friends. They then thought it would be hilarious to freak me out. They started saying things to make it seem more real, like ‘What do you think it is?’ or ‘What are you going to name it?’

Those type of questions don’t freak me out because I’ve already thought of names and that I want to have a boy first and then a girl. I feel like girls end up more outgoing if they grew up with an older brother, but that could just be because I have an older sister and am not so outgoing.

Then my friends started asking me other, harder questions, ones that take thought. ‘Who gets the baby if you die?’ ‘Will you tell the father?’ (he wasn’t exactly someone I see often *cough* one night stand *cough*) You know, the usual drunken conversations had between friends on a night out.

I should add that I didn’t think I was pregnant, we used protection, but the idea of having a baby suddenly seemed perfect. I started planning everything out. I probably should have just taken a test but I like I said, I didn’t actually think I was pregnant, but after that night I hoped I was.

A few nights later, accompanied by my friends, I took a test, three tests to be more accurate, and they were all negative. I kept hoping I did it wrong, I’d never taken one before being only 19 at the time, so I thought maybe I’m doing this wrong.

But nope. 9 months later, or 7 months since I took the test like 2 months later, and there was no baby shooting out me, no me screaming in pain.

I still have dreams where I’ve had a baby and I’m so happy in the dream. Then I wake up and it hits me that I don’t have a baby. One time I had a dream that I had twins and they were in another room asleep, the I woke up in a panic because I couldn’t hear if they were crying or not. Took me almost a minute to remember.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad I wasn’t pregnant. I wasn’t ready to be a mother. I had barely seen and done half the things I’ve seen and done now. There’s so much more I want to do before I have kids. One of those things is to actually be in love and married before I have kids. Or at least in love.

So that’s what ‘The Life That I Lost’ is about. The time I planned out a life that never ended up happening because I wasn’t pregnant.

The Life That I Lost

Lyrics, , ,

I’d been afraid to dream
Afraid to hope.
But I’d begun to plan
And now I can’t cope.
I could see it all
The car seat and the pram
Once I had started
It flowed like a dam

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

I didn’t want to
But they made me.
I planned out a future
For me and my baby
It would go to a good school
Have some good friends
With me and the kid
The fun never ends

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

It was all right there
A future I wanted.
I could reach out and touch it
But now, by it, I’m haunted.
I can still see it
Even to this day
But it never happened
It was taken away

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

There was one thing I needed.
For the life I wanted to live.
But I took the test.
And it was negative.

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

My Writing Process

About Lyrics

Seven Shades of Me is kind of like my thought process while writing. I basically lie on my bed and look around my room for things I could whenever I have writers block.

I’ve also been trying to write a song about when I went overseas but I haven’t been able yet. So these lyrics are about me not being able to write what I want to write about. Even with all the awesome things that I’ve done, I still have trouble writing sometime.

I’m going to keep trying though, because I think they’d make for a good song. If could only find a way to do it.

Love

Seven Shades Of Me

Lyrics,

I look around my room what do I see
Posters and a champagne bottle vase
Old records and pictures that I’ve taken
Over the years that have gone past
Lying on my make up stained pillows with
Police tape hanging on the wall behind me
I want to search for the words to write but
I’m trapped by the four walls that define me

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

I can lie in my bedroom for hours
And write the same words again and again
I can’t put my memories onto paper
So I just waste the ink in my pen
The girl that I was is only part of me
Her story was simple with no shades of gray
But with my new pictures the room is brighter
I just wish I could write about those days

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

I have added new colour to my old black and white life
But that’s not what I write
The places I have been, the things I have seen
I have travelled the world
But I can’t put it into words

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

Love
Roxanne
