Entry Four: Lyrics

"But you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
and everytime you smile or laugh you glow
But you don't even know, know, know."

"'Cause we lost it all
Nothing last forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect"

"What will it take to show you that
it's not the life it seems
i've told you time and time again
you sing the words but don't know what it means
to be a jokin look
another line without a hook
i held you close as we both shook
for the last time,
take a good hard look."

Have you ever noticed how much lyrics can change a person's way of thinking? Have you ever wondered what the artist was thinking when their wrote those lyrics. The lyrics that you see above this entry are to the Jonas Brother's "A Little Bit Longer" written by Nick Jonas, Simple Plan's "Perfect" written by Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau and My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" written by Gerard and Mikey Way. Have you ever wondered the thoughts that went through the artists head while they were writing songs? I know what all these guys were thinking, because I've done my research and I'm a fan of all three of those bands, but still. I look at songs like "Alyssa Lies" and just wonders what was going through his head when he wrote such a sad song.

I have lyrics myself, but I'm not going to put them up yet. There's not really a point. Right now I am talking about other's lyrics and what they've done for me. These three songs have pulled me out of so much that I have no idea how to personally thank these artists when I meet them. Yes, I am keeping my head up and saying when I meet them because I know there is going to be a time. I hope that you find the perfect lyrics to fit your life. Find your theme song, in a way. I don't have a theme song, I have a whole theme album, I swear, but that's just who I am. This entry is going to look long but it's short, and for that I'm sorry. But here's today's challenge for you: Find your lyrics. Weather they be your personal lyrics or lyrics from your favorite band, as long as they get you through the hard times, their your life's lyrics.

Love,
Paula
