From 2022. Made for a project in public speaking class in community college, where I got to write a song about my relationship with my mom at the time (which to an extent is still accurate now), where the ending I had the whole class sing along with me. Yay, live group vocals...and yay, feelings!
lyrics
I've been finding myself at a crossroads
Where every single thing I do is a problem
And I'm never gonna find out why you're mad, right?
I'm never gonna find out why you're mad, right?
So let me put it simply that you're not a jerk
I just wish that you tell how much your fuckin' words can hurt
And if you listened, you know that it's why
When you turn a topic into an argument, I might as well cry
Which yeah, I do, and I find
It only makes a big internal battle how I feel inside
And if you saw that, what would you say?
Would you open up the doors or would you still block the way?
Can we talk, about anything?
I don't wanna become distant, but I have no words to bring
And I did, you wouldn't speak
'Cause we can't discuss this clearly, when both our heads are still spinning
Now let me ask, what would you say?
If I opened up the doors, and I pushed the wall away?
I know it'd hurt, but would you care?
I'm internally screaming when I wait for change out of thin air
You can change, I know you can
I'm sorry for being distant, can we put this to a plan?
You can change, I know you can
I'm sorry for being distant, can we put this to a plan?
You can change, I know you can
I'm sorry for being distant, can we put this to a plan?
You can change, I know you can
I'm sorry for being distant, can we put this to a plan?
