Sleepless (Acoustic Original) - Cindy Ongko

I wrote this when I was feeling a little down. A product of all those sleepless nights I've been having a while back.

Fragile
Nothing but fragile
That's all I can say about this place

Dreamer,
Always a dreamer
Faith is what completes this empty space

When my loud mind won't be quiet
When I lose myself, and can't get it back

The porcelain doll that is me
The strings that fray eventually
How easily I break
The little house where I stay
The broken pieces I've played
How easily I wake
Sleepless nights everyday

Torn,
These pages are torn
I've been bruised, I've fallen, I've scarred

Stronger,
I wish I was stronger
I said I was strong enough, but I was wrong

When I'm here, but not really here
When the tears, on my face start to tear

Chorus

Please just leave me
With this silence
Give me air to breathe
When I give my all
But I feel that I won't succeed

Chorus

Mistakes
Mistake after mistake
None that I have made will go to waste

[cindyongko]

@TraceyLouise014 ahh thank youuu!

[Keiris95]

I like this song, and I really like your other song (White Roses). Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if you moved the capo up one fret but used the same chords. Not dissing or anything, but I think some chord variation would do some good. Otherwise, you have a great voice, and you can write some pretty good lyrics. :D

Nice song !!

[CooltasticChelsea]

Have you heard of Austin Gibbs?

Just wondering because when you started playing it sounded JUST like 'Jessica'.

You sounded great and I'm not accusing you of taking that guitar riff.

Just thought I share that.

But if you aren't listening to Austin Gibbs....go do yourself a favor and check him out.

Uhm, keep it up?

Yeah, keep it up.

Haha.
