I've always hated keeping a journal. Something about the monotony and discipline of penning your thoughts in every night wasn't sticking for me. I've realized t
I'm a UCLA student and trying to record songs, play at open mics, and ultimately get my music out to the masses and cut a CD. Don't know how I'll do it, but any suggestions would be more than kick ass. I guess my style is pop/rock/acoustic? Just take a listen and see for yourself.

Story behind the song
I was purusing through some of my older songs, and I was surprised at how much this song applies to myself right now. When I wrote it, I really had no idea how much truth it would hold later. So I re-recorded the vocals and here it is!
Lyrics
What happened to always being there for me? Where were you when I was lying on the floor crying? The promise of a life less ordinary is gone What’s replaced it is a life that’s ordinary But it’s alright I’m fine I’m cool I’m through with playing someone’s fool My mind’s now clear cause she’s not here And I’m feeling so divine I’m okay I’m over this addiction There’s no more room for indecision Our love was just some passing phase Nothing more than the latest craze Waking up to another day without you I forgot what it felt like to wake up alone I don’t need your troubles, I don’t need your stress, I don’t want your baggage I don’t want your comfort I don’t want your warmth, I don’t want your ecstacy All I want is myself and my independence Who really needs all of this love and romance I do Come under my umbrella baby I don’t want you to catch a cold Though there’s not enough room for two Where’s the fun if it’s only one? But it’s alright I’m fine I’m cool I’m through with playing someone’s fool My mind’s now clear cause she’s not here And I’m feeling diving I’m okay I’m over this addiction There’s no more room for indecision Our love was just some passing phase Nothing more than the latest craze Time for me to get up and walk away But honestly I would much rather stay
