I Hope You Cry

 I absolutely love this song! I spent most of my afternoon and night writing the lyrics and recording the vocals. Now I need to write the music, which will be a little more tricky. I want a strong bass line/drum machine part, neither of which I have been successful in composing in the past. It's hard to keep the parts interesting, so I'll have my work cut out. But I really do enjoy the vocal track. It sounds so perfect! ...minus one little fall I have to fix.


I Hope You Cry
I bet he doesn't know what you want from me.
I bet he didn't see you were using me.
And when he says, "I love you,"
Do you ever think, "Is it true?"
I don't mean to but in, 'cos I'm not a prize,
But you can't break me, then let me in.
Realize I'm not a wasted number.
And I'm over it...

I hope you cry
And die a lot inside.
I hope you cry,
Feel as worthless as did I.

I pushed the limit,
I admit.
Held on way too long,
But I couldn't help it.
I tried. I failed.
Declined your help.
I'm not a charity case.
(I'm just pathetic)

So go, run to the one who completes you.
And when I say my final goodbye.

(Chorus)

What's he got that I don't have?
What's he got that I don't have?
Is this all my stupid half?
Got me thinking and feeling like I'm lesser than.
What's he got that I don't have?
What's he got that I don't have?
I'm happy to ignore you once again...
Let go of my hand!

What I have that he does lack,
A bitter heart full of old regret.

(Chorus)
