about

This song is a my angry song...not too happy with a love that did me wrong.

lyrics

Don’t Write a Song About Me

Verse 1
Things were good, Things looked right
Never saw the sun set before it was night
Guess I was taken by surprise
How could you do this to me?

You led me on like a dog to a bone
But in the end, I was really alone
The whole time I thought you would be mine
But I guess I was wrong

Pre-chorus
Can’t believe I could be this naïve
You seemed so sweet, but were merely a tease
Opened my heart, left it fully exposed
And so the storyline goes….


Chorus

I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got

You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
In the end I guess you should never say
Just don’t write a song about me

Verse 2
Should’ a known you’d get scared
Like a bird that was startled you took to the air
Fear was seared within your eyes
Nesting was never your thing

Guess it was clear, all along
That with you the word “future” don’t measure so long
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Bye, bye, bye…..Go fly

Pre-chorus
Can’t believe I could be this naïve
You seemed so sweet and troublesome free
Opened my heart, left it fully exposed
And so the storyline goes….






Chorus

I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got

You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
In the end, I guess I you should never say
Just don’t write a song about…..

Bridge/Rap

Listen
Listen closely
Do you hear that sound?
It’s pounding slowly
It’s my heart beat
And it’s breaking
But would you ever know
How much it’s aching

Cause you smashed what love I had for you
Because your heart
It proved untrue
And now I’m lost with words for you
My thoughts are merely dust because they burned down too
With us, our walls came tumbling
And now I’m left here fumbling
Around…..but I got news for you
Your words won’t go unheard
This song’s a tribute….

Chorus

I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got

You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
Cause in the end, I guess I you should never say….
In the end, I guess you should never say….

(tag)
Don’t write a song about my cheating heart
Don’t write a song about my wicked games
Don’t write a song about my bad romance
Don’t write a song that makes the whole world sing
