Hi Mike
YIPEE, it's FREE,
you have just excited this Aussie girl, you are amazing. Thanks so much! You are so special!
Here goes, my very first song, after working on these lyrics over and over again, I just feel it's time to move this song to a more professional level. Paul my producer done a fantastic job with this song, but even after my re-write, and talking to my friend here Bill, I feel that what he is saying about the song is right.
My goal is to take my story out of the song, and put some, or maybe a lot of Nashville Grit into it.
As Bill said, my story was "Emotional Murder",
because I have listened to this song so much, and I have sang it over and over, it is very difficult to hear it another way,
but I believe by changing it to an example of being bullied, it will take the song to a new brighter future.
My other goals are also to continue to learn the craft of songwriting, sing, learn the keyboard, and one day be working full time with a professional songwriter.
The original song:

Don't push my buttons
Hey, don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play your victim no more....
Verse
There was a time and a place
I was lost and confused
Young and trusting
Nothing to lose
I held a dream when becoming your wife
Never thought I'd be fighting for life
Those I trusted turned away
Only feels like yesterday
Weeks have turned to years
It's time to put it away............
Chorus
Hey, don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play your victim no more.....
Verse
I thought that you
Where the one
Yah Pushed me around
And put me down
For the childrens sake I thought I'd stay
With all your lies my dreams faded away
Well the truth is here before me now
Found the strength to leave
And stand my ground
Now I can finally say
This survivors here to stay.......
Chorus
Hey don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So, hey don't push my buttons
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser than ever before
I won't play your victim no more
Bridge
I'm here today
Offering you this advise
Don't be the victim
You too can survive
A new beginning
New life ahead
Everytime they push you
Get up , look them in the eye, and say........
Chorus
Hey don't push my buttons
I won't take any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So, hey don't be pushing my buttons
I won't be taken it no more
Stronger, wiser than ever before
I won't play your victim no more
So hey, don't be pushing my buttons
I won't be taken it no more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So, hey don't be pushing my buttons
I won't be taking it no more
Stronger, wiser than ever before
I won't be playing your victim no more
So HEY!
