𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐲 ( 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 )

Stages

yes, that's taylor swift above. i love her acoustic rendition of ' i don't want to live forever' sm. this song that i wrote needs no explanation. lyrics say it all tbh. i hope you enjoy <33

1ST VERSE:

a different generation

an alternate perspective

maybe so

think of it as recreation

it's my amendment

you ought to know

i want to roam through the stages

call it reckless

but i live for the show

i'm scared to let you down

you're unaware i'm stressing it out

in 2 or 3 years, i'll be gone now

somewhere in my whereabouts

singing to the crowds

you'll disapprove

i know you will

but i'm not you

i won't sit still

i have to go

CHORUS:

at the first look

it's always your rules

from your book

say, won't you walk in my shoes

see what you put me through

say, won't you?

oh, won't you?

2ND VERSE:

walk in them for a mile

make my state of mind worth your while

stay at least for the first trail

pick my thoughts from the shelf

in the critical aisle is all you tend to do

you know i love you

but you've never understood

music is my hook

my all, my life

you ought to accept it sometime

CHORUS:

at the first look

it's always your rules

from your book

say, won't you walk in my shoes

see what you put me through

say, won't you?

why won't you?

BRIDGE:

i know, it's a lot to take in

keep calm, stay breathing

this is the path i choose to take

sure, they'll be mistakes

but it's my life, not yours

and there's nothing i'd want more

than to see my lyrics up in display

right up on the big stage

even if i never make it

at least i tried

it's better than living a lie

even if it's wrong

this is what i want

i'm sorry i can't be what you want

CHORUS:

it'll be my first look

in the real world

i'll see how it goes

fast pace; take it slow

i have my rules

i love the view

i wish you could've seen it too

i wish you could've been proud

like you used to be of me

i'm sorry i couldn't be

who you wanted me to be

OUTRO:

at least i tried

it's better than living a lie

even if it's wrong

this is what i want

and i can never be

who you wanted me to be

for that, i'm sorry
