Another Way

ABOUT THE SONG 
I started writing this song sometime in 2007. It was just a little acoustic picking pattern that I had going for awhile, and I only had the chorus. It took me a few years to really flesh out verses that I was happy with. I never was able to record a full acoustic demo, so I scratched out a vocal to this weird dance beat instead. I don’t know if I’ll ever record it for reals one day. It’s not one of my favorites that I’ve written, but here it is for anyone who is interested.

Verse 1:
He loves me
He loves me not
And now these broken petals
Are all I got
He moves me
I never stay in one spot
And for him
I have been
All that I am not

Pre Chorus:
He pushes me away
He pushes me away
He pushes me away
And he always finds a way

Chorus:
Another way to make me fall apart
Another way to make me cry
Another way to keep me in the dark
Another way to make me see the light

Verse 2:
He loves me
He loves me not
And now broken promises
Are all I got
Emotions
They never stay in one spot
They’re up and down
Just like a broken clock

Pre Chorus:
It’s ticking me away
It’s ticking me away
It pushes me away
And he always find a way

Chorus:
Another way to make me fall apart
Another way to make me cry
Another way to keep me in the dark
Another way to make me see the light

Bridge:
I can only stand this for so long
I sat here counting petals
And now theyre all gone
I wish this wind would just die down
They’re scattered to the breeze now
Maybe it’s better this way….

​Repeat Chorus To End….
