Leave Me Here, Don't Look Back



Hey there you.
I'm back again...
Are you ready to open up
to me?

Hey there you.
I see you trembling in fear.
You see me coming near you and you
don't know what to do.



"Well what's happen to us, now?
Has this affected anything?", you ask.

Just open you're eyes.
This is just the beginning.




Don't look back
on whatever you'll find.
Don't look me in the eye.

I know that there's a way...
to get you to tell me.

What have you done?
There must be something you're hiding.
Has it just begun,
or did I not see it?



Hey there you.
I see you...
looking all smug.

Hey there you.
You think you've gotten away with
Everything...

Hey there you.
Do you think this is all over?
Not even close.



"Well what's happen to us, now?
Has this affected anything?", you ask.

Just open you're eyes.
This is just the beginning.



Don't look back
on whatever you'll find.
Don't look me in the eye.

I know that there's a way...
to get you to tell me.

What have you done?
There must be something you are hiding.
Has it just begun,
or did I not see it?



What has happened here?
How did you get this way?
Why didn't I see this coming?...
Everyone did but me.

Hey there, former friend.
Why did you have to change
and leave me broken hearted?




Don't look back
on whatever you'll find.
Don't look me in the eye.

I know that there's a way...
to get you to tell me.

What have you done?
There must be something you are hiding.
Has it just begun,
or did I not see it?



"Well what's happen to us, now?
Has this affected anything?", you ask.

"Just open you're eyes." I say.
"This will never end."

Alright, I know I have been writing very differently. But not to worry, I'm just trying out some new themes. I'll be switching themes soon!!!

Before the whole "former friend" thing, I was picturing a psycho horror film trailer with a creepy, deranged voice coming from utter darkness, "Hey there you!" But then I read that part and also the tags on it, so then it made more sense what you were originally going for.

Yes, you are definitely experimenting! That's really good. Someone with your capabilities should be able to switch gears like this.

Was this lyric-minded? I got that impression from those repeated stanzas.

The person the narrator is addressing goes from trembling in fear to being smug and back again. This is an interesting and sort of tricky thing to make work.

Yeah, this song kind of tricks a person, I guess. I never really thought of it that way, and it's great that you can!!! Thanks for the support on switching themes!!!

And yes, this is supposed to be a song. I guess I forgot to tag it properly...Sorry!!!

Also, this is sort of supposed to drift from the past to the present, almost as if in the first verse it is the outcome of the situation. Then in the second verse, it is beforehand, and the third verse is to let go of feelings, so it's the journey from the beginning to end. It's a bit confusing, but different. Thanks so much for all of the comments!!! They really helped!!!
