Liner Notes:

So, I haven't shown Jelly this one yet, but I told her I was writing another song and was gonna post it, it needs to get some kinks worked out, it's a rough draft and is probably the hardest and most angst-ridden song I've written. If you know me, I'm usually pretty happy. Hahah, This will be a ukulele song like all of our songs, but I might add a little bit of guitar or something. I don't know, I'll brainstorm with Jelly. No demo or anything of course. I hope you guys enjoy my emo rambling song.

Lyrics:

V1
The sweet taste of lies probably sugar coats your lips.
Playing my heart, acting like our lives have scripts
Storylines where I’m just the bad guy
and you just happen to stand by.

Chorus
Darling, you don’t own me
You proved to me that being in love
is something I don’t want to be.
I wanted to be your something
but now I don’t wanna be nothing to you.
I will not be one of your “somethings”.

V2
The funny part is that if roles were switched.
You would be the one crying, and I’d be the bitch.
but that’s not the case, now is it?
because then you’d have to commit.

Bridge
It was nice while it lasted, wasn’t it?
Guess this is for the better, isn’t it?
Oh wait,
The constant stream of thoughts in my head
are blankly telling me, “I wanna be dead”
But really you the one who should be feeling this way
I’ve never been happier that I didn’t stay.

Chorus
Darling, you don’t own me
You proved to me that being in love
is something I don’t want to be.
I wanted to be your something
but now I don’t wanna be nothing to you.
I will not be one of your “somethings”.

I’ll never be one of your “somethings”.

I was gonna write a song titled "Somethings" like last week.

I'm glad I didn't cause this is better than what I would've done.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, burr. I think little emo elves have taken refuge in your brain.
I like your lyric, especially the second verse. Good job!

This is a really well-constructed lyric - I'd love to hear a demo for this. Some great lines, some sweet rhymes. The "I will not be one of your somethings" tag line is a nice touch, too.
