Never Better

ABOUT THE SONG
I wrote this song around 2004 with my keyboardist, Steve. He came up with the piano and chords, and I wrote the lyrics and played off of the melody of the keys that he already had there. The lyrical content and even mood of the song is a bit more depressing than most of the guitar pop songs I had written up to this point. However, I'm a huge Evanescence fan, and I really love classical/goth ballads, so I saw this collaboration as a way to experiment in that genre. We never officially recorded this, but I would love to still do so at some point, as my voice has matured a lot and I think I could do more justice to it now, than I did on this demo at the age of 20. 

VERSE 1:
I can't take this pain 
You're shaking, trembling 
Next to me, I'm suffering
I can't breathe

Keep your pity
I don't need 
Your sympathy 
I've come to terms with myself 

PRE CHORUS:
And I know things can't last
Forever

CHORUS:
But things were good 
Never Better
Now the light
Is shutting you out
Only darkness is 
What's to come 
Won't you miss me once I'm gone

Gone...

​VERSE 2:
You used to be the
One who saved me 
Now you are the one who breaks me

My heart is sharp like
Shards of glass
I can't rewind the past 
I've put behind me 

PRE CHORUS:
And I know things can't last

BRIDGE:
Every day is a battle to fly
To find 
Those wings that these tears try to hide
If only I could look past sky 
To see what truly lies

PRE CHORUS:
I know that things can't last
Forever...

CHORUS:
But things were good 
Never Better
Now the llight
Is shutting you out
Only darkness is 
What's to come 
Won't you miss me once I'm gone

Gone...
