A friend of mine wrote this as a poem, why not add a chord progression to it and turn it into a song? Intro: F C G Am F C G Am Verse 1: F C Knowing what you have, you never think you’d lose it G Am Going day by day, I was the one to choose it F C I keep myself busy with things to do G Am 'Cause every time I pause I still think of you
Verse 2: F C Our small pointless conversations mean more than you know G Am And every fight and struggle flies out the window F C Missing you comes in waves, at night I’m drowning G Am There's an ocean in my heart and my mind’s forever frowning Chorus 1: F C Can you tell I haven’t slept from the time we last spoke? G Am And that when you say those words I can’t help but choke F C Yet when I do sleep I dream you're back by my side G Am Then it's ripped apart by the sun; it’s sure to rise Verse 3: F C My crying is the worst; muffled and silent G Am And the thoughts in my head rage fast and violent F C I’m reminded of what I did to you G Am And the events that made us fall through Verse 4: F C Now my name brings distaste in your mouth G Am And your liking to me is falling south F C I don’t mind being hated, but I hate being misunderstood G Am You listen to everyone else; I'm spoken of in falsehood Chorus 2: F C No words could flee my mouth to make you understand G Am That I still love you, baby, I still want to hold your hand F C I'm not perfect, as you know, and when he came along G Am It pulled me out of a shadow, just thought you’d like to know Verse 5: F C Thinking that he could save me from heartbreak G Am I sent your world up in an earthquake, making your hands shake F C No compilation of words could undo the broken G Am No rhyme nor rhythm could ever be spoken Verse 6: F C To fix what I did and close what's been opened G Am And give you back what I had selfishly stolen F C I don’t ask for forgiveness or ask for you back G Am I don’t imply that I’m something that you lack Chorus 3: F C I am here, asking that you see G Am You still mean the flipping world to me F C Even if a bitch is all I am in your eyes G Am My caring for you I cannot disguise Outro: F C You may think of me as a horrible person G Am But I hope and I pray that this won’t make it worsen F C I started this song with eyes full of tears G Am But end it hoping you can forgive me one of these years
