I'm neither a singer nor a musician. I am a songwriter looking for singers, bands or publishers in need of original material.
Just trying to sell my songs. Please forgive the count ins, none of the songs have been edited yet.
Story behind the song
First song I wrote after 15 years of not singing, writing or playing guitar
Lyrics
Teardrops are falling, heartaches a calling
No time for this old heart to mend
Treasures kept were just fools gold, damn the lies that went untold
Things that might and maybe should have been
Now there’s nothing that I hold dear, to tell the truth I just don’t care
Trouble’s always waiting round the bend
Refrain 1
Bite the bullet one more day, hope and pray it’ll pass away
Only God knows I don’t want to stay
Holding on to memories of wars and scars and misery
Maybe now’s the time to walk away
Got no hope in sight, just another lonely night
Holding on to dreams long gone by
All these years of doing time, spit and polish – dirt and grime
Never took the time to wonder why
Life just keeps on a comin, ain’t got no time for funnin,
Another day closer till I die
Refrain 2
Slapping back another brew, trying not to think of you
Hoping just to pass the time away
Swear to God I’ll lose my mind if I dream of you just one more time
Gotta go, gotta find a way
{Instrumental}
Refrain 3
Tainted love and tortured heart, picked and pried and pulled apart
There never seemed to be a better way
But holding on to memories of wars and scars and misery
Maybe now’s the time to walk away
Beat down and in the red, breakdown dead ahead
But I don’t know when it’s gonna happen
Hell-bent and bearing down, no one’s gonna be around
When this ride gets me to the end
Refrain 1
Bite the bullet one more day, I hope and pray it’ll go away
Only God knows I don’t wanna stay
Holding on to memories of wars and scars and misery
Maybe now’s the time to walk away
I watched my life just slip away, inch by inch, day by day
That nothing’s left cannot be denied
No one’s gonna shed a tear, doubt anyone’ll care
But I’ll give the Devil his reply
Done my time and now I’m free, maybe I can finally
Find some peace of mind before I die
Refrain 2
Slapping back another brew, trying not to think of you
Hoping just to pass the time away
Swear to God I’ll lose my mind if I dream of you just one more time
Gotta go, gotta find a way
{Instrumental}
Refrain 3
Tainted love and tortured heart, picked and pried and pulled apart
There never seemed to be a better way
But holding on to memories of wars and scars and misery
Maybe now’s the time to walk away
