*this started out as a song, but i dont know what it is now. i'll probably modify it later..

>< What About Now ><

And dont act like my friend...
I know what goes on
When the shades are drawn
And don't tell me youre sorry...
The words slide right off
Your hypocritical tongue


What about now
As you leave me behind
My help no longer required
I wait for you to fall
To remember the days
When you still needed me
To find...
I've walked away


And what about the times
I lifted you up...
When life knocked you down
You were sitting all alone
Who offered their hand
To pull you from the darknes

What about now
As you leave me behind
My help no longer required
I wait for you to fall
To remember the days
When you still needed me
To find...
I've walked away
...and I'm walking away...

Hehe I won't be rude I promise.
Anyway, I liked this a lot, I relate to the concept very well. These did read like lyrics, well done Kiley.

I agree, this read lyrically to me. I liked this alot Kiley and think you did a great job. I liked this part the best, I guess you could say it was the chorus (maybe).
"What about now
As you leave me behind
My help no longer required
I wait for you to fall
To remember the days
When you still needed me
To find...
I've walked away"



"When you still needed me
To find...

Loved that last bit. ^

Excellent write Kiley, keep em coming.

This was pretty good I like your style, this are some good lyrics but to me there must be some music in order for this lyrics to be more effective, but in all, I really love it. ( have you read my poems?, they kind of relate) Anyways its a nice poem/lyric!

so get a guitar and jam already!
wondrful lyrics... i can relate; i do this all the time, but mostly cause i write with music on...
this sounds like an original, soulful tune.

...all the good themes have been turned into theme parks.

Very nice!! Well done, Kiley...
There's no sweeter revenge than to find out that the jerk who left you needs you badly now... well... too bad for him

This isn't about a boyfriend, this is to a bestfriend that stabbed me in the back. but its ok, over time you learn who your real friends are

wise man say
friends are people you think are your friends.
but they're really your enemies
with secret identities.

"The soul is oftentimes a battlefield where reason and judgement wage war on passion and appetite."
