Started this one yesterday afternoon and finished up my initial ideas with it today. Just my vocal, guitar and a bit of ez drummer for some vibe to follow...

Started as an idea of "What if a song was a person? What would it say?" then as I was writing it I realized that there is actually a lot of ME and MY story in here while discussing it with my wife...so maybe this is really my story....or maybe it's YOUR story too!

I will likely expand on it after FAWM... #reflective #singersongwriter

Verse 1 C2 Dm F G This is a song, a song about you Listening angry, alone in your room A song of your highs and your lows and your hates How you keep piling too much on your plate

Verse 2 C2 Dm F G You think you’re special, outrageously fine The truth is you’re hollow, a beautiful lie Voice that is broken don’t know how to sing You’re longing for someone to give you your wings

Chorus This song is a mirror looking back at you C2 G F C2 A big bright reflection of a darker you Dm C2 Fm G You could ignore it or turn away C2 G F C2 Or you could try and face it and finally say Dm- High F2- G

Verse 3 I noticed you’re wearin’ your fake face again Like a bad gambler just longing to win You’re reaching for lines you can borrow and bend To feel like a winner, if only pretend

Verse 4 Yeah validation, now that’s what you seek The picture you’re painting is trembling and weak Feigning your interest just like in a play Borrowing faces to get through the day

Chorus This song is a mirror looking back at you C2 G F C2 A big bright reflection of a darker you Dm C2 Fm G You could ignore it or turn away C2 G F C2 Or you could try and face it and finally say Dm- High F2- G

Bridge Is there hope when you’ve been broken? Dm Is there a place when you’ve been lost? Em Do you know just where you’re going?Dm Or are you simply tossed……aside? Gsus4-G

Chorus This song is a mirror looking back at you C2 G F C2 A big bright reflection of a darker you Dm C2 Fm G You could ignore it or turn away C2 G F C2 Or you could try and face it and finally say Dm- High F2- G This song is the truth. This song is you. Dm- High F2- Gsus4 -G
