Recently I haven't been making much original work… but I have been re-writing some lyrics for K-Pop songs in English! It's been fun… my first was "Missing You" by 2NE1…
Missing You
First Verse:
Please don’t look at me with those same eyes
‘Cause they aren’t the ones I recognize
Please don’t talk to me like we are on again
When you don’t even wanna be friends
Pre-Chorus 1:
I don’t want a love that’s gonna drown me out like rain
I don’t know how long I can pretend I’m okay
When you know I’m not okay (When you know it’s too late)
Chorus:
My mind’s screaming at you
Angry that you left me all alone
But my heart’s crying for you
Hoping that you'd never let me go
Hook:
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
How I miss you so?
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
Second Verse:
You can’t tell me this was all in your head
I’d rather you leave and end up dead (You heard what I said)
Put on faces you think are gonna work
But I know I’m not the only one hurt (I know I’ve been there before)
Pre-Chorus 2:
I don’t wanna see us crash and burn into these flames
I don’t know how long I can pretend I’m okay
When you know it’s too late
Chorus:
My mind’s screaming at you
Angry that you left me all alone
But my heart’s crying for you
Hoping that you'd never let me go
Hook:
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
How I miss you so?
Do you even know?
Do you even know?
Third Verse:
Like a fire burning once again
You will fall victim to the wind
And take away with it my sorrow
Now that I am staring at your face
I keep hoping it fades away
And leaves me looking for tomorrow
Because all I have is tomorrow

But I believe my best is "News" by 9Muses…
News
Hook 1:
Hey, d’you hear the news?
We are over, oops
I love you like a hole in the head
Paying for the cost
This is all your loss
Ready, I’m ready, I’m ready, Hey!
Verse:
This love was scandalous
Headlines spreading around
With a final kiss, they were gone
We were dangerous
Dirty secrets you tell
It almost made the right feel so wrong
Pre-Chorus:
Wanna read about it?
‘Cause I’m not talkin’ ‘bout it
You already know how I feel
Please don’t bring about it
I wanna live without it
I know that these feelings aren’t real
Chorus:
You know
You’re a creep, you’re a sneak
And I caught you in your cheat
You’re the front page pick of the week
You were wrong all along
Now your shit’s out in this song
Did you think you’d hide it for long?
Hook 2:
Packing in my holster, don’t come any closer
I hate you, you make me insane
Paying for the cost
This is all your loss
Ready, I’m ready, I’m ready, Hey!
Pre-Chorus 2:
You won’t change, I doubt it
And I can’t be about it
You already know what’s the deal
Please don’t bring about it
I wanna live without it
I know that these feelings aren’t real
Chorus:
You know
You’re a creep, you’re a sneak
And I caught you in your cheat
You’re the front page pick of the week
You were wrong all along
Now your shit’s out in this song
Did you think you’d hide it for long?
Rap:
Your fake smile, fake eyes, fake words, they were all lies
Gossip and rumors, you loser, you loser
It’s too much, with you, it’s too much
Hey, give me my great goods
Give me my great goods
Pre-Chorus:
Wanna read about it?
‘Cause I’m not talkin’ ‘bout it
You already know how I feel
Please don’t bring about it
I wanna live without it
I know these feelings aren’t real
Chorus 2:
You know
You’re a creep, you’re a sneak
And you’re caught up in your cheat
You’re the front page pick of the week
Boy, get use to that bruise
Since you’ve read all the reviews
I won’t get caught up in your news
Hook 1:
Hey, d’you hear the news?
This is over, oops
I love you like a hole in the head
Paying for the cost
This is all your loss
Ready, I’m ready, I’m ready, Hey!
