Melancholy Either Way

Song I Wrote the other night...

I'm not much for singing when there ain't that much to sing, but I can't help but point out problems with myself...

See masks and smokescreens don't mean much, when your heart is tender to the touch, and the one you love is nowhere to be found,

a sad song don't seem fitting for today, because its melancholy either way.

I still can't quite explain the way your smile makes me feel, and the way your green eyes make me look away,

it sometimes hurts so much to think that I could lose you in a blink to someone else or just cause I'm a fool.

A sad song don't seem fitting for today, because its melancholy either way.

Sleeping's not the same without you breathing in my ear, and I check my phone though I know you won't call,

Most times its hard to stay apart, lying awake in the dark with a calendar that hasn't budged a day.

A sad song don't seem fitting for today, because its melancholy either way.

Today you called and told me that you need me to be near, and though tempted I am forced to still refrain,

Is now the time that's best for you? are you sure your love is really true?
I'd rather die than have to give you up again.

And though I fear I might have gone insane, we'd best to put it off another day...

A sad song don't seem fitting for today, because its melancholy either way.

Great song this struck a chord in my life. Recently my best friend has become so stupid, she would rather talk with some guy in another state than me, and refuses to see that he is just after her for ya... Anyways sorry for rambling

This song always makes me cry when shit's rough, but it's nice to have one of those songs to cry to. Love the lyrics. Love you :)

I like your verses however your chorus to me seems like a bit of a throwaway. You've got a great first lyric but then you don't do enough with the meloncholy part. You should expand the lyric on that part a little more.
