It's fine, it could use a revision though.

Yeah, a really, really big one. That one is so bad. Blech.

I have to go get my other notebook and then I'll post more...

Carry On Feeling

(verse 1)
I wish I could see the stars
From my tiny basement window
Just to help me gather courage
To say what I think you should know

(pre chorus)
Feeling likes to be rough with me
It keeps tossing me around

(chorus)
I tried to stop before I could start
I tried to ignore what I'd heard
But you were sinking in even still
It's just a lesson I'll have to learn
That when it will not go away
You have to carry on feeling

[Mara]

(verse 1)
I come to you when God feels far away
Because he radiates off of you
When the sun hides and sadness consumes
It's you I can run to
Your shoulder is always damp with my tears
You constantly share my pain
I can see God overflowing in you
As you love me for always


(chorus)
I know you're there
When I need someone to show me love
When I dont speak
Somehow you know what I think of
When rain falls down
You will hold me the way Christ does
And though you're far from perfect
I love you, too

(verse 2)
I get so scared of being all alone
But then you remind me who loves me
I couldn't stand to ever lose you
There's so many things that you've taught me

(chorus)

(bridge, I might re-write this depending on what you guys think)
We've been through so much in so little time
For every day you said I'd be alright
You know how I feel and where I've been
You love all of me time and time again
You don't know what you mean to me
And I thank you again for everything
Because through it all your words were true
So I'll always be here for you
I love you, too

(chorus 2x)

Hey there Mara! I'm pretty sure this is the song you were talking about in the PM... if not, tell me.

I like it a lot. It flows very well, and is very deep and meaningful. I'd like to hear a recording though. I also think the first verse could use a little revising, I don't like it much.

[Mara]

Thanks, Mattbert! I'll work on it. You rock my left sock! The right one just thinks you're okay. He's not cool though, so it's all good.
