"The Girl I Never Was"

[GarthLVR88]

Whassssssssup! lol, well, I've been in kind of a "writing" groove lately. I just wrote this one tonight/this morning. So..."Give me everything ya got, alright?" Don't hold back! ;)
<br>
<br>The Girl I Never Was
<br>
<br>What can I do?
<br>Tell me what can I say?
<br>Where can I go?
<br>Why on this day?
<br>
<br>You said that we were,
<br>Just meant to be.
<br>Tell me what does she have?
<br>Something I don’t see.
<br>
<br>The pastor gave up.
<br>The people start to leave.
<br>How could you do it?
<br>My heart was on my sleeve.
<br>
<br>Tell me what does she have?
<br>Tell me what does she do?
<br>My life was just perfect,
<br>Just give me a clue.
<br>We had it all planned
<br>Everything was good.
<br>I knew I’d never quit
<br>You knew you would.
<br>I guess I don’t have what you need
<br>So let me go, let me bleed.
<br>You only love her because,
<br>She’s the girl I never was.
<br>
<br>I can’t help but cry
<br>My heart is on the floor
<br>How was I supposed to know?
<br>You didn’t love me anymore?
<br>
<br>I don’t hate you.
<br>I just wish I would’ve known.
<br>I hated standing in the chapel.
<br>Just standing, all alone.
<br>
<br>You stood me up.
<br>You didn’t even think twice.
<br>Maybe the next time,
<br>Love won’t be as nice.
<br>
<br>
<br>Bridge:
<br>Things will never be like they were before
<br>I knew what I had, but you needed more
<br>I can search for years, and still never find
<br>What made her life, so different from mine
<br>
<br>Tell me what does she have?
<br>Tell me what does she do?
<br>My life was just perfect,
<br>Just give me a clue.
<br>We had it all planned
<br>Everything was good.
<br>I knew I’d never quit
<br>You knew you would.
<br>I guess I don’t have what you need
<br>So let me go, let me bleed.
<br>You only love her because,
<br>She’s the girl I never was.
<br>
<br>What does she have that I don’t?
<br>What will she do that I won’t?
<br>Maybe you love her just because,
<br>She’s the girl, I never was.

Hey Rachel,
<br>
<br>I did omit something in my first post. While it is a good idea in a song, the message of the song might be expessed as well or even better in a fewer number of lines. It's hard to say because I can't hear how it goes. It might very well work with the right rhythm and melody. And everything else about the song is great. :)

<br>PS- Please don't be mad, lol.N

[GarthLVR88]

Nash,
<br>Me? Mad? Never! LOL, yah, it's long...I don't know why I did that...but thanks for being honest! I'm working on a few others....thanks again!
