Something We Never Had (Original) by Ashley Hsu & Willis Zhao

my friend ashley sent me lyrics she wrote a while ago and i took those, added the music and some of my own feelings, and this is what became of them. i didn't finish it until just this weekend.

i'm really happy with how it turned out (: i think this may be my favorite original yet. listen with headphones!

something we never had (2011)
written by: ashley hsu, willis zhao

/verse
never liked the pain that comes with loving
you're my narcotic, i'll be needing a daily dose
like ecstasy to me, keep giving and i'll keep using
soon you will see, baby it's a bittersweet madness

/prechorus
you've got me going under
how long can i keep this up for
but i'll take your hand, never felt more alive
and we'll take this night

as we pull back the sheets, we won't let reality in
this is a perfect scene with just you and me
hold your breath and maybe time will collapse into space

/chorus
ever together, can we make it to forever
hit pause and savor the flavor
suddenly there is bitterness
time is something we never had

/verse
you make these words come out so easy
not used to making love you're taking me
been hurt before, you help me trust again
don't want to let you down so teach me
for you i'll tear these walls down
stay the night let's hit these lights, i've got so much more to give

/bridge
don't leave, this doesn't have to end you told me once
one lifetime together would never be enough
i know it's been hard, no one thought we'd make it this far
let's just stay in love forever, you've already got me going under
