I literally wrote this in a minute so It's not perfected yet (maybe it is)
But it's gonna be a lot longer than this but I'm just wondering by the first two verses what you thought.


I've seen many people fall down
Can't pick themselves back up
And get back on solid ground
Only if I wasn't so weak
Could I find the voice to speak
I'm so sick of being pushed around
You ain't ever gonna keep me down

I've heard many people say
I'm not good enough for you
That I should just go away
Maybe if I weren't so lonesome
And maybe you're the one
I"m so sick of being pushed around
You ain't ever gonna keep me down


that's it so far. At first I liked it cuz I've got the music for it in my head but reading the words out loud. maybe it's not so good. It's sounds like i'm whining about something.

What do you think. Anything you have to say (regarding what I've written so far) would be helpful

  • Here's the whole song if you cared at all. It took me about an hour but I still don't know if it's good. I set it to chords and I don't know. It's either the best thing I've ever written or the worst.

    Maybe we oughta get out of this town
    Maybe that is what's brigning us down
    You can only be so low before you hit the ground

    I've had better times than these
    Back when I was young
    Back when life was so easy
    I've never known you
    To be so cruel
    I'm so sick of being pushed around
    You ain't ever gonna keep me down

    I've waited such a long time
    For her to come back to me
    She's always on my mind
    I guess I should leave
    Just like you left me
    I'm so sick of being pushed around
    You ain't ever gonna keep me down

    Maybe we oughta get out of this town
    Maybe that is what's bringing us down
    You can only be so low before you hit the ground

    I know where this song is coming from, good job.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.
  • good song, but I think it flows better if you leave a gap after the first 3 lines of each verse
    no matter where you go,
    there you are.

    I like this song as well. :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
