I wrote this one the other day. I don't know why exactly, but it came out and I just felt that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I don't usually write poems or lyrics because I don't find them half-way decent compared to other people's poems/lyrics, but yeah...here they are for ya'll to see anyway.

Don't call
Don't leave a message
Don't wait up
Don't even try
It's not worth it
I'm not worth it
Everything I can be
To you
Someone can give it better

I sit by the phone
And wait
Wait for a call
That might never come
You see
He's waiting
For me to learn
To realize
That he's the one
I know he's there
I know he exists
But my mind can't see it

Don't call
Don't leave a message
Don't wait up
Don't even try
It's not worth it
I'm not worth it
Everything I can be
To you
Someone can give it better

The phone rings
And I stare
It's hard for me to leave it be
But I do
Knowing it's you
Callin' me
Beggin' me
To come back to you
I can't do it

Don't call
Don't leave a message
Don't wait up
Don't even try
It's not worth it
I'm not worth it
Everything I can be
To you
Someone can give it better

It's hard to admit
When you're sorry
It's hard to admit
When you've given up
For me it's hard
To admit that I've fallen
For you
It scares me
It terrifies me
To know that you're there
Waiting
For someone who's told you

Don't call
Don't leave a message
Don't wait up
Don't even try
It's not worth it
I'm not worth it
Everything I can be
To you
Someone can give it better

Prove me wrong
Don't give up
One day I'll learn
To admit
The hardest thing
That my love for you
Runs deeper than anyone can see

Hmmm, intriguing. You decribe this as not even half way decent? These are strong lyrics, moving and honest lyrics. You have a strong hook based upon a phrase with every day usage, v. important as the Beatles will tell you. Repetition adding emphasis and bringing out the rhythmic element. You can definitely hear it in your head which is a defining element which separates it from poetry. And most importantly you tap into a shared human experience and genuine emotion without being over indulgent and melodramatic. I rate these lyrics twenty six gold stars which you must wear always on your jumper.

Yes, yes I did. *blushes* I'm glad you like them then Han. *shrugs* I just look at it and criticize it, but maybe it's because I'm way too hard on my own work yeah? *eyes shine bright* Stars?! 26 of them?! w00t w00t *puts them on jumper*
