So Help Me God

Pledge. Lyrics.

 

One, long breath

Cause we both know

That you need it

Silence, again

Cause we both know

That I did it

 

Give  me comfort I don't deserve.

Feed me words, but try not to hurt.

If you stay with the same love

you walked in with,

There's no doubt I'll walk out 

A better man

 

'Cause this time,well I'm not

Crossing this line,

So help me God.

 

Wrap me in blankets I'll never need.

I've got all this warmth when you're here with me.

If you stay with the same love

you walked in with,

There's no doubt I'll walk out

a better man

 

Oh, this time, girl I'm not

crossing this line

So help me God.

'Cause won't I watch you cry

For the hunredth time?

Oh, please not that again, Oh God...

 

I need you to know that I'm still real.

I need you to say what you still feel.

 

This time, well I'm not

Crossing this line

So help me, God.

Argh how do you do that??? Maybe it's because I'm musically retarded, but it amazes me how you can write lyrics, and the music, and still do it so that when read without instruments and without singing it, it's still gorgeous.
I don't know whether the melody is first for you, and this is there to decorate your music, or you begin with the words as a foundation and go from there, but either way this is solid, I'd love to hear the song, I really would, I'm stunned by people who can put feelings into music sheets, it's an art I'll never be able to master.

My admiration, totally. You said so much simply, and perfectly, and honestly without the false fluffy imagery you find in poetry that has no bearing anymore in a modern world, gorgeous.

Thank you for all of your reviews, they were wonderful. Love you all!

[Laura]

This is really powerful, it's beautiful.
"Give me comfort I don't deserve.
Feed me words, but try not to hurt."
I like this part a lot, not sure why, but it sticks in my head.
Fantastic job : )

[Tea And A Cheshire Smil..]

Beautiful lyrics :) I'd love to hear you actually singing this one.. perhaps you should record it and post it on writerscafe.

[Kanattas Atir Enomo]

this beautiful. you are such a talented poet/songwriter. some of your poems/songs actually bring tears to my eyes. you should record this and post it. i'd love to hear it. =)

[J.Black]

Yep. This ones a winner!

[Jillian Louise]

Wow. Very good.

[RDOriginal]

This has such meaning and depth beyond the words themselves. There are such undercurrents that this is a poweful love, especially in phrases like 'wrap me in blankets I'll never need. I've got all this warmth when you're here with me." I'd love to here this performed - if the melody is as good as the lyrics it must be a great song.

[Elwina]

This is so very beautiful and touching.

Can someone love you enough to forgive and comfort you even though you hurt them ? This is true love to me. And this is the kind of love that make us become a better person. Very true.
Thanks for sharing.
