By Me For You
Introduction
Hello readers,
Thanks so much for giving my writing a try. From a young age, I've enjoyed writing song lyrics as a means of expressing my mind and opinions on things. There is a story behind the makings of this book, I wrote all of the lyrics on Christmas Day 2017. Once I start working on lyrics, I find it difficult to stop and hold back. Some of these lyrics are a little personal to me but I've decided to share them in the hope that feedback will be left in order to help structure how I write my songs.
This is a completed book with fifteen parts, hope you enjoy reading it!

A Long Way
I can see you're happy now
Standing together feeling proud
Dreamt of this moment to last
Time is travelling by fast
Seize every second you can
Holding onto her hand
Whisper the words she wants to hear
Protect her away from all the fear
Life is a journey we all must take
Every day we make
Memories to fall asleep to
And then awake with a smile
I did tell you so
That your broken heart would reload
Cracks that once showed
Now patching up because you are very much in love
Chorus
In such a short amount of years
Facing through all the tears and cheers
Falling in love with the one you call
The other half to make a whole
Clearly both of you are wondering
Where the flowers align the paths
Happy music played
The sun never fades away
Eye to eye you see the trust
A look you'll never want to stop
This is what I do say
You've come a long way
I maybe elsewhere in the world
But with the joy and sparks of gold
Compliment each other away from the main stage
Alone in your presence as dawn breaks
Waking up by the side
Is the person you call the love of your life
Any reason to doubt that the happiness is falling down
Remember this song and all the words
Each one has a purpose to explode
Colours of joy into your soul
For each year you grow old
You helped me to understand
That with my own fallen plans
I would find love again with the man
Saved my world from crashing to the ground
With a big thank you to all of the kind things you continue to do
One day we will meet all four of us
Together as one for lots of fun
Distance can't come between us
Chorus
In such a short amount of years
Facing through all the tears and cheers
Falling in love with the one you call
The other half to make a whole
Clearly both of you are wondering
Where the flowers align the paths
Happy music played
The sun never fades away
Eye to eye you see the trust
A look you'll never want to stop
This is what I do say
You've come a long way
As the days are falling away
To start with a brand new year
Wishing for passion and sparks of love
That will rain down on all of us
The sun never fades away
This is what I do say
We've come a long way
We've come a long way
In The Dark
One moment I was moving fast
Now I'm spinning with an empty heart
What did we do to deserve this
Once arms outstretched now curled up into fists
Broken and scarred across the parts of my body
Like I've been fighting for survival
It's all twisted up as I reach towards
My method of escape to take me out
Chorus
You are lighting up the match to start a spark
That could bring all of me down
Stop and wait as you need to listen to what I say
Fear strikes along with the pounding veins
As I hold on
To the reason that bought us together as one
Breathing in the dark
Cold mind that calculated your master plan
Remove me from being around
Once you told me you wanted to be with me
Just us together and no others
Till you feel under her spell
A trap she set just to pull you in
Turned on something sinister
That lingers deep within
Chorus
You are lighting up the match to start a spark
That could bring all of me down
Stop and wait as you need to listen to what I say
Fear strikes along with the pounding veins
As I hold on
To the reason that bought us together as one
Breathing in the dark
I've already been through so much in my life
Trying now to conduct the last goodbye
Signalling the end of time
Falling down this black and empty hole
Is that what you really want
Is that what you really want
Chorus
You are lighting up the match to start a spark
That could bring all of me down
Stop and wait as you need to listen to what I say
Fear strikes along with the pounding veins
As I hold on
To the reason that bought us together as one
Breathing in the dark
