LYRICS

PictureHere I am at 18 with my first guitar. My cousin Jessica and I are having some fun co-writing some lyrics.

I started writing music when I received my first guitar for my 18th birthday. I remember locking myself in my room for hours, marveling at the works of other singer-songwriters I had so dearly looked up to. Some of my favorites were Jewel, Michelle Branch, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple and Lisa Loeb. The list is actually pretty endless, but these were the poetic women who really shaped my love for writing in the lyrical style. Most of my songs, I played around the NJ Acoustic Open Mic circuit, and I was even fortunate enough to have been able to record a few songs  or “excerpts” of this life of mine. I hope you enjoy reading through these, as much as I did creating them.

Don't Call Me Beautiful

ABOUT THE SONG 
Well this was a song I wrote in 2008, and it’s definitely one of the favorites that I’ve written with its driving melody and big chorus. It’s a song I can belt live, and it just feels good whenever I do it. I think the lyrics really paint a picture for you. It's about being in a relationship with someone and you having a hunch that they're not being faithful, but they try to get over on you through means of sweet talking. The song is about letting them know that it's not working and that I see right through their antics. The rhythm of this song was inspired after I covered The Cranberrie’s “Zombie” for my You Tube Channel. I mean, it’s not exact , but it def was inspired. I won a talent contest with this song ($500 cash prize from the Fully Loaded Vocale Contest in NYC 2008.) I never recorded this song, but this is one that I definitely would still LOVE to!


Music and Lyrics

Verse 1:
I was awake
But I couldn’t see
All the signs you laid out there
Right in front of me
I made a mistake
And I swam in your sea
Of your lies that had me drowning
With no rope to rescue me

Pre chorus:
You had me there good
I don’t need an explanation
Your defenses taught me
What I already need to know
Now you’re running away
Come on, you knew what you were doing
Now I’m onto you, you don’t know what to do
So next time baby

Chorus:
Don’t call me beautiful
Cause I won’t be believing
All your sweet talk anymore
No, it’s not even meaningful
You used that line, to make your climb
So now I fall
So don’t call me beautiful

Verse 2:
You lied to my face
And you lied to yourself
You’re going through chances
Like it’s candy but it’s always something else
Now you’re starting to sink
And now there’s no way out
Yet you’ve only scratched the surface
And already striking out

Pre Chorus:
Now you’re wasting my time
Come on now just go on and do it
Would it kill your ego this much
To man up and let me go
Now you’re running away
Come on you knew what you were doing
Now I’m onto, you don’t know what to do
So next time baby

Chorus:
Don’t call me beautiful
Cause I won’t be believing
All your sweet talk anymore
No, it’s not even meaningful
You used that line, to make your climb
So now I fall
So don’t call me beautiful
