Heaven Sent

Here is my next song. I think it sounds good with nothing but a simple drum rhythm behind it. I wrote it last night when I was in a terrible mood after the dance. Some stuff happened, some having to do with this and some not, that felt like someone spittin in my face. This is all my emotions last night, but I worked hard on it. Any and all critique is welcome.

Heaven Sent

(Verse 1)

Very first time our eyes met,
The closest some to heaven get,
Now I pray you just try to let,
Me hold you in the warm of a red sun-set.

One my best friends said it won't work,
But I'm at the point that if I don't try,
I won't ever get to touch the sky,
Maybe then I'll just sit and cry.

(Prechorus)

I look at you and what do I see?
I See you're a very important, parta me,
But it seems like it'll never be,
So I curse the day I came to see

(Chorus)

That you're 100%, Heaven Sent,
But I'm gettin frustrated and need 2 vent,
Confusion tuggin on my heart, my mind is bent,
Whit I know that you're heaven sent.

So should I tell about tears,
And all these damn fears,
What If you could see all these tears?
Find out the truth, and just be here...

(Verse 2)

What went on when i asked you to dance,
That you didn't even give me one glance?
Did I do somethin wrong in my advance?
I mean, Heston there got my dance.

I look back at the time I've spent,
Knowing good came from where it went,
Right now my mind is just bent,
And I wonder now where the old me went,

(Prechorus)

I look at you and what could it be?
I know you're a very important, parta me,
But it seems like it'll never be,
so I curse the day I first recieved

(Chorus)

That you're 100%, Heaven Sent,
And I'm gettin confused, I need to vent,
Frustration tuggin at my soul, my heart is bent,
Girl I know you're heaven sent.

Should I lie about the tears?
Deny all these damn fears?
What if you had to see the tears?
Find out the truth, would you stay near?

(Verse 3)

But now I'm lookin at the bright side,
You've always stayed by my side,
Even if it's not as it played out in my mind,
Atleast now I can say I tried.

I'm still waitin for an answer,
All my fears are just a cancer,
Then I think I'm not even much of a dancer,
But I still want you to answer.

(Prechorus)

When I look at you I'm set free,
Because you're a very important, parta me,
I hope you value the notion of you and me,
So I treasure the day I came to believe

(Chorus)

That you're 100%, Heaven Sent,
I've been so confused where I needed to vent,
Fears tuggin at my soul, my mind was bent,
Whit did you know you're heaven sent?

I'll admit to the tears,
And even to the tears,
The day passed so near,
But Now I'm stayin right here.

(Verse 4)

I want you to know I'll always be here,
I hate when in your eyes I see a wet tear,
Girl please don't cry, I'm still near,
I don't want you to hurt or ever to fear.

I won't stop caring if you don't want me,
I won't stop caring if you don't need me,
I'll never leave your side Whitlie,
And that's a garuntee completely.

(No Music)

Girl I don't know if you will take a chance on me.
I want you to know I'll take a chance on you.
I've been there for you and you've been there for me.
So whata ya say, are you gonna give me a chance?


"So baby please forgive me,/I hope somewhere that maybe,/I won't hurt inside on the daily/Then my love, can be set free"

It's a hard place to be, watching your friend go out with someone you like. But you seem to be handling it very well and remaining neutral, while not easy, may be the best. Who knows, maybe someday she will realize how much you care for her and ask you out! Doesn't sound like she said yes to Greg yet!

As they say, this too shall pass. In the meantime, don't give up on the song. Have you found a way to record yet? Even if you have a cheap computer microphone for now. You can use Audacity, which is a free recording program and is fairly easy to use. That's how I started with a $3.99 computer mic.

Good luck,

Nutty

I found a way to record it, but I just gotta find a way to bring everything together better. She pretty much asked Greg out, if anything he's the one that won't say yes. He was kinda confused I think.

It seems a little bit harder to write right now. I'm trying to put music to it, but nothing seems to be working. I had some Ideas, but I'm just blank right now. Oh well, it was a long day. I'll get back at it tomorrow.
