[Glassheart]

Title: Toxic Love
my heart's wearing these scars from you
in an endless game of love, I lose
hard to live in the present
when I'm still lost in the past
but nothing good in love ever really lasts
my heart doesn't beat but I still move
your sweet lies, and the tragic bitterness of the real truth
it's an indescribable feeling being addicted to your love
but when you're here beside me in the dark it's hard to ever think it's ever really enough


no erasing the taste of your tragic kiss
getting me high and filling me with your sin
my heart fell to your reign
and I've never felt so addicted to the pain
I'm your prisoner of love held down in chains


it's like you've got a grip over my frozen heart,
swear this toxic love will be the death of me
but baby ill love you until your last heart beat
maybe this was you intention all along
to kill me, break me down and tear my world apart
it's like I'm lost in the shadows
hiding from the light which guides me back home
but I choose the path of lies and walk it alone



I wrote this in 5 minutes

Maybe you should share something. And yah, making music in those types of programs takes a LOT of patience. I think it's more skill than talent At least you can get by in songwriting on talent alone.

I will later. I have a book I write in, and I'm not near it atm. And it is very difficult to create music w/those programs. Kudos to people who do it cuz I could never.

"but when you're here beside me in the dark it's hard to ever think it's ever really enough "

The 2 ever's seem a bit repetitive, but I'm not sure if what you wrote is a WIP or not. It's nice either way.

I actually haven't started yet I got your request at midnight in my timezone, and everyone else was asleep

Here's a tip I learned for lyrics: don't write things someone wouldn't say that way. You can still write things like "it's like you've got a grip over my frozen heart" but not like "to change I must" because if someone wanted to say that irl they would say "I must change". Sorry if that's confusing....

Sorry to hear! Perfection takes time anyway

Adam is a saint.

So this is just a small question for everyone: Does everything have to be "just right" when you are writing? Like, if I am too tired/too hot/too cold/too hungry I can NOT get anything done. I have to be in a certain mood, and physically feel a certain way (i.e. all the too things I posted above can't be there)

This is, of course, assuming I did not just get randomly hit with an idea like I was for BFW

No, that's just you

By the way, I just wrote these lyrics. Please give dem feedbacks
(p.s. I already worked all the music/chords/melody lines out for the song, that why there's so many "oohs" )

Losing You

Losing you was like having a heart attack
I can only hope I’ll be able to bounce back
Losing you was like breaking a bone or two
It hurt like hell and I don’t know what to do
Losing you is like getting a fever too high
And praying just that I’ll make it out alive

Why do I keep on losing you
For some reason you can never get through
Why do I keep on losing you
Ooh...

Losing you was like losing my memories
I thought I knew you, but I didn’t know the behind-the-scenes
Losing you was like having the blood spill out
With no bandage to make it not spill about
Losing you was like losing everything
I lost sight of it, and now all that I have is nothing

Why do I keep on losing you
For some reason you can never get through
Why do I keep on losing you
Ooh...

Ooh, oooooh-ooh-oooh
Ooooooh-ooh-oooh
Ooh, oooooh-ooh-oooh
Ooooooh-ooh-ooohOoh, oooooh-ooh-oooh
Ooooooh-ooh-oooh

Why do I keep on losing you
For some reason you can never get through
Why do I keep on losing you
Ooh...

Actually, I find my writing comes and goes with the seasons. When I'm mostly focused with relaxing and just taking me time, it's kinda funny that I don't immediately go to songwriting since it's a way to vent my emotions. But, because I have little emotions to vent usually, I'm not always making the songs I usually do.

But, when it's Spring or Fall, I'm making songs like it was the last time I'll ever write again. Seriously, I think I wrote almost 50 songs last season, alone. My notebook was FULL. I go through so many notebooks, it's ridiculous.

I also find that when I'm approaching the end of a notebook, the magic slowly begins to fade because I know that I might get a breakthrough and eight or nine pages ain't gonna provide enough room for me to work. That's just me, though.

Well there will be some nights when I just get this burst of creativity and write and write and write, and I'll think of a subject and write a few songs about it.

Then sometimes my brain turns into a fish and I just flop around and end up with crappy lyrics

[Tymps.]

I always write lyrics after melody/chords so I can't write more than one song a day
I also try not to tread on the same topics at all
And I'm busy with school too, so in the end I'm writing a song a week or less

His career on ATRL is paralleling the album
It's a shame because I like both
