You Said

New song! - Well, for you it is. =P For me, it's like, the oldest of songs. 

I wrote it when I was 11, I'm pretty sure it's the first song I've written that's a full length song, that's actually good (good enough to still be playing four years later), and the first to have instrumentation (the guitar). What I did was, I wrote the lyrics and the melody when I was that age (11) and then, I think about a year later, I came back to it and figured out what chords would go best with it and viola! Now it's actually a performable song! 

It's called "You Said" and it's about, well it's probably pretty obvious what it's about, but If you need a hint then, I wrote it about a disappointing friend. One that only made things worse for me. And if someone does that, than there not really a friend at all. 

Remember I was only 11 when I wrote this, so some of the things are fiction, like the line "but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy." I only wrote it in there because it rhymed and worked in the song. Also, it could be applied for other girls in these types of situations. Representing the immaturity. 

I usually have some level of exaggeration in my songs. It makes them more moody and interesting. But the feelings I had while writing them are not exaggerated. My songs are for you to interpret, for you to apply to your own life and experiences, to get what you will out of them. Not for me to tell you exactly what their about. They mean something different to everyone. 

So anyway, here's "You Said"...

You Said

Friends forever,

it seems like that would be a very long time

I'll take whatever,

maybe once but not a second time.

It does seem this way, maybe not, who's to blame?

But your not what I thought that you would be.

You said you'd be clean.

You said that you'd be my friend,

but then you turn around and stab me in the back.

We agree to disagree, you turn around and act nice to me.

You said that you wouldn't be mean,

but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

Going backwards,

you just can't reverse what you've done.

It seems so easy,

but then again maybe it's not.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

And I know that you didn't mean it, 

but then again maybe you did.

Thing's that have already happened, 

we can't go back and reverse them again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

You said that you'd be my friend,

Friends forever, 

it seems like that would be a very long time.

(Above^ Me when I was 10, just a year younger than I was when I wrote You Said.)

Well, that's all for today folks!

Till tomorrow*
