Poetry
Honestly
By Tenchi

It never ceases to amaze me how whenever I sit down to try and write the lyrics to a song no matter at what age whether 20 > 30 it always comes out like a 14 year olds written it!

Although saying that I quite like this. Took about 5 minutes to write and it fits in with a Bluesey/Paolo Nutini type of tune that's echoing around my head at the moment.

I haven't written the bridge or the chorus yet but when I do I'll amend it.


I don’t sleep so well these nights
I can’t sleep without a fight
And it’s a fight which I am losing
Cause you left without my choosing

I don’t get to sleep till dawn
Wake up late and meet with scorn
For my boss just wants me fired
Doesn’t care that I’m so tired

I close my eyes I see your smile
And though it’s been quite a while
I still suffer from the heart
It’s killing me that we’re apart

I lie awake till I pass out
My love for you has come to nowt
Shame my boss is such a jerk
I really need some time off work

I can’t get over the first shock
Can’t reset my body clock
I can’t laugh and mean it true
Cause I just can’t stop missing you

And the nights they are the worst
I remember well our first thirst
When we couldn’t keep away
I miss you more each single day

My sun rises in your sky
Now so dark I wanna cry
Can’t stop these feelings deep inside
That hurt so much now love has died

I need to feel you in my arms
Shelter you from all life’s harms
I need to touch you with my lips
Feel you press against my hips


Never thought we’d be alone
Thought our love would be our home
Never thought that you would leave
Trusted you, now I’m deceived

If you don’t come back I’ll cope
But I’ll live my life with hope
That one day you’ll know just what you did
Threw away your winning bid

Might work as a sort of rap in the style of the Streets.It's very wordy for a song and,as you say there is no repeated chorus.It just feels like a rap to me 
cheers
