This one's a work in progress folks... I'll try my best to finish it soon... any help would be greatly perrrciated. P.S. I'm on some meds that say "may cause drowsiness" and they don't lie, so if this is completely stupid, sorry in advance...

CHORUS:
All I said was it wasn't me Turned around and I walked away I left her cryin' outside the door Hadn't ever done that before I could've told her I loved her too But that would've just killed my mood Instead I let her go and hurt like that God I wish I could just go back
VERSE 1:
Girl you know that I love you so I never, ever wanna let you go I know I hurt you in our recent past But, I never really meant all that I just wanna spend my life with you Doin' things that I'd probably never do You make me act all crazy girl Yeah, you know you are my world
CHORUS:
All I said was it wasn't me Turned around and I walked away I left her cryin' outside the door Hadn't ever done that before I could've told her I loved her too But that would've just killed my mood Instead I let her go and hurt like that God I wish I could just go back
VERSE 2:
Never thought I'd see my life Start flashin' right before my eyes But I saw it on that lonely day When I told her to just go away I didn't mean a single word I said Don't know what was goin' thru my head I see it all real clearly right now Just don't have a rhyme or reason how
CHORUS:
All I said was it wasn't me Turned around and I walked away I left her cryin' outside the door Hadn't ever done that before I could've told her I loved her too But that would've just killed my mood Instead I let her go and hurt like that God I wish I could just go back
ADD:
Could've told her that I love her too But that would've just killed my mood Insead I let her go and hurt like that Man, I wish I could just go back
VERSE 3:
I wasn't in the right state of mind When I put my truck into drive Left her standin' in a cloud of dust Without a chance of us ever being us I wish i could just go right back Fix the dreams that I used to have Leave her with some better memories Maybe more like the real me
CHORUS:
All I said was it wasn't me Turned around and I walked away I left her cryin' outside the door Hadn't ever done that before I could've told her I loved her too But that would've just killed my mood Instead I let her go and hurt like that God I wish I could just go back

Well, NH, was gonna welcome you in, but you been around longer than me. You changed persons from the 1st and second verse. Start out talking to her, then switch. I think you need more description. The verses and the chorus all say about the same thing, one way or another, plus the bridge is simply a repetition of the chorus. Ben

Yes, it would be better to keep the point of view consistent, and there is too much repetition of the same thoughts, as Ben pointed out. I'm not sure I would start out with the Chorus, as we don't know "why" he said "it wasn't me". Think of your lyric as having a beginning, middle, and end. A general guideline for this format would be: Verse 1: Beginning; why it happened Chorus: The result of "that's why I say" Verse 2: The middle, explaining "and then what happened", more why it happened. Chorus: The result of "that's why I say" Verse 3: The end, "and then what happened", explaining the end of the story. Chorus: The result of "that's why I say" ------------------ http://www.cdbaby.com/shaynev [This message has been edited by shayneman (edited 10-07-2006).]
