Pathetic excuse for a song

gah
as of now i officaly suck at songwriting
i'm going progressivley downhill, bummer


Ballerina foot boy (i know, please slap me now)

[v1]
Monday morning, was the first time
I ever saw you
Heard some tapping, my eyes flickered down to the floor,
And there your feet were
Dancing away, with no care in the world
The type of feet that decide, decide at the last minute
What they’re going to do
What they’re gonna live
When they’re gonna fly
I knew he must be an extraordinary guy

With a crooked smile
And the look in his eye
It only takes two seconds, then he’s on your mind

[chorus]
He’s the ballerina feet boy
Dancing around, not sure what he’s doing
Talks on his feet, lives on his toes
Brings a bit of hope
Wherever he goes

Dark hair falls down, past his eyes
Doesn’t see a thing, but don’t worry
He’s not blind
He’s just something different, one of a kind
It’s been days and days
He’s still on my mind
He’s a ballerina feet boy

[v2]
It’s a Friday afternoon; he walks in late to a test
Whispers circulate; he’s got himself in a mess
Teacher marches up
About to raise her voice
When he pulls out a hall pass, a ballerina foot choice

There’s something so different about him
He’s the kind of guy who’d laugh,
If he knew this song was about him

With a crooked smile
And the look in his eye
It only takes two seconds, then he’s on your mind

[chorus]

[v3]
In class today I wore his sweater
Then he sat next to me
Can’t tell you which was better
Drifted off in class, I got lost in his eyes
How can you blame me, he’s his own kind of person
Doesn’t even have to, wear a disguise

[chorus]

He’s not blind
And now I know, I wouldn’t want to live without him
Because
He’s a ballerina feet boy
He's not cliche, he's far from
Mine

I know..

i know i'm a loser, writing a blog with no one to read it
but i just wanted a place to post a random handful of my lyrics, so i guess i know why i created this thingamajig in the first place.
alright.

Fresh Outta Hope
[v1]
It's always day, with the hope that flashes
Right at your face, built up passage after papssage
Fill' in your head with thoughts of wild hope
Dreams wishes loves, anything to avoid
The rock bottom that they know you'll hit, it's only a matter of time
Before that ditch

Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
Oh, why couldn't I have
Seen this coming?

[chorus]
And when on the spot
They knock, knock you down
Stumbling backwards, don't let you get up
They knock, knock you down
And push you around
Turn you into a mock, mock hope
And before you can, even grab that rope
They knock, knock you down
Nothing new
But all the same, they've turned you into a game
Hey, I'm done
It's all the same

[v2]
It's when you put your faith in, then
What do you get
A big slap in the face, a hit that turns you red
And on top of that, they split us up as a pack
Now there's a fine line, you wear an ugly halo
To remind that you're different, it's made by design

Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
I can't help but wonder what would have made the difference
If I had stopped, instead of wanting to keep the good times going

[chorus]

[v3]
There's no time to point fingers, it's been done before
The natural reaction, to shoving someone out the door
I know I got ripped off, but honestly counts
At least more than those lies, they smother guilt in wild amounts
You made me question myself, who I am, what I've won
That hurt just piles on to remind me I'm done

Where have those trustinig feelings gone
I miss them so, especially that hope
That kept me up and running
Now I'm nearly blinded, not sure what to do
God, please help, guide me through

[chorus]
