Bend The Lines

I wrote this song one night while my wife was doing some editing for a lady that she had photographed . This lady had come in to have pictures taken of herself because she had recently gotten out of an abusive relationship and wanted to boost her self esteem . My wife spoke with her a long time and found that her self estemm was definitly in need of boosting . She asked my wife to change the shape of her forehead . She asked her to fix her skin and try to slim her down a bit and change the shape of her chin ... My wife told her that it was not going to look like her if she did to much and She actually said that that would be good because she hates the way she looks . So I wrote a song while my wife did the editing . My Wife put so much work in to them to make this lady happy ,she even brightened up the colors in her tatoos. She cried tears of joy when she saw the pictures .

Here are the lyrics. Creepy1, please correct me if I got anything wrong! Give me a photo I won't hide So I can show them how I used to feel inside Before I walked in these shoes The colors still in my tattoos And I hope that it doesn't look like me I'm the last one I want them to see so... Bend the lines and make me beautiful And move the shadows til I'm gone Make me as beautiful as you The colors back in my tattoos And I know that it doesn't look like me I'm the last one I wanna see so...

(rest of lyrics - YouTube's got a stupid 500 character limit for comments.) Erase the achin' and the time And close my eyes they look too much like mine Then we believe this picture's true The colors still in my tattoos You made me look the way I like to feel And god I wish this could all be real Nobody cared the way you do The colors back in my tattoos Nobody cared the way you do The colors back in my tattoos

[Creepy1]

Few corrections .

1.Let me believe this picture's True That the colors are still in my tatoo

2.Nobody cared the way you do You put the colors back in my tatoos

[Creepy1]

Thanks for doing this . I had not had time to yet.

There are a few minor errors in the lyric.

1. Before I walked in these shoes

When the colors Were still in my tatoos.

2. Make me as beautiful as you Put the colors back in my tatoos

A couple more below .

I will have a new song up pretty soon .

I have not written many songs . I always felt like I wrote to literally so I am working on that . Thanks Again.

Wow, I love this song! When I first heard it, I only rated it 4 stars, but after hearing it a few more times and listening to the lyrics, I wish I could re-rate it 5 stars. Great song and great lyrics!

pennymak, the chords are just G, C, and D, standard tuning, with a capo on the 2nd fret.

[Creepy1]

Wow Thanks. That is nice to hear.
