True Colors

This is a song, not a poem. About a year or two ago I used to love to write songs. So, the next few things I post will be some old songs that I wrote. This one is my personal favorite.

(1st Verse)

I saw your face in a twisted mirror

And my heart starts to race as it begins to get clearer

Then it fogs up again

Why are you trying to pretend

Covering up who you really are

 

(Chorus)

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Myabe you're someone who I forgot

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who got lost

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who never had a shot

I don't know, maybe you're someone who I miss

But I won't know until you, until you show me this

Your true colors

La dum la la dum la la la la

 

(2nd Verse)

It's been awhile since I saw you last

I guess I gave up on recovering your past

Lies don't make you pretty

They don't keep you safe

They just show me that I've had all that I can take

 

(Chorus)

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Myabe you're someone who I forgot

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who got lost

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who never had a shot

I don't know, maybe you're someone who I miss

But I won't know until you, until you show me this

Your true colors

La dum la la dum la la la la

 

(Bridge)

You know I searched and searched

But I couldn't find

The one behind

That fake, plastered on smile

I guess you'll show who you are in your own due time

Better hurry up

 

(Chorus)

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Myabe you're someone who I forgot

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who got lost

I don't know, maybe you're someone

Maybe you're someone who never had a shot

I don't know, maybe you're someone who I miss

But I won't know until you, until you show me this

Your true colors

La dum la la dum la la la la

 

Author's Note

So, what do you think? Is song writing not really my thing?

Oh! Normally I can't imagine a song being sung--I have to actually hear it. But these lines moved me! : " don't know, maybe you're someone
Myabe you're someone who I forgot
I don't know, maybe you're someone
Maybe you're someone who got lost
I don't know, maybe you're someone
Maybe you're someone who never had a shot
I don't know, maybe you're someone who I miss
But I won't know until you, until you show me this
Your true colors

Really great song!! I love it!!

[Brianaswriting]

your talented!! Great song...great writing overall.

[AleyshaRosa]

Song writing is definitely your thing, when I read your songs, I almost hum them to myself. =]
Only one bit of critique, and this isn't for all songs, but for this one in particular, it feels like it needs another verse. I say this because the chorus is so long. The bridge is a nice way to break it up, but nonetheless. It feels like I'm missing a segment of her story.
But, of course, Lydia
