This isn't Hollywood - Chris Dorgan (Orig. Demo. Acou.)

I had done three versions of this song, all i thought where the same except for the fact that they increased in length by over a minute... i hadnt changed anything on them though. anyways here is the longest version. i think it probably feels the mood of an acoustic version a bit better.as usual its only a demo so hopefully i'll get a chance to record it properly and add some over dubs etc, and probably decrease the length a bit. anyways please see below for lyrics and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for listening x

Verse 1

Its the end of the last day tonight,
The rains started to swell in the sky,
Its late now and i've had some drinks,
An enough time to forget to think,

Verse 2

I try to make that midnight call,
But your phone its been switched off,
So i take another sip and try to contemplate,
All those things that ive forgotten to say.

Verse 3

I don't think it would have been so hard,
Back when i was young, free an oh so harsh,
But we all grow up and so we should,
An im realisin that this aint Hollywood,
You don't always get the girl,
Especially if you don't let her into your world.

Break

Verse 4

You gotta think it might be for the best,
I just couldn't get some of my thoughts off my chest,
But wakin up to your eyes, it was clear,
That we were growin up an maybe you where the one for me

Verse 5

I stare out and I watch the rain,
Street light shadows oh its been a crazy day,
For some strange reason im good at throwin things away,
Oh it coulda been a learnin curve had you stayed,
But its time to say farewell my love,
Oh i shoulda realised this ain't Hollywood.

Its the end of our last day tonight,
Oh that rain its been pourin from the sky.
