Come On, Lover

A song for the type of romances that end tragically.

Come on lover, didn't mean to lie,
Come on lover, don't you cry.
We used to be best friends,
Now I'm falling apart,
Come on lover, can we restart?

I know we said some things, we hurt each other, oh my darling.
I know I kissed you, then I lied, said that it meant nothing.
I want you back, want you back,
Oh please come back, please come back.
I know life gets hard, oh baby, that's the way things are.
I'm sorry it's hard for me to admit you're in my heart.
I'll be yours, I'll be yours,
Oh, I'll be yours, I'll be yours.

Come on lover, we could take the world on, me and you, tonight.
Come on lover, don't you know that we're gonna be just fine?
You and me, oh I know we'll be forever,
Come on lover, take my hand.

I know we've had our ups and downs, but I will always love you.
And I promise, give me one last chance, I will be true.
Oh please be kind, be kind to me tonight,
Be mine, oh, be mine.

Come on lover, we could take the world on, me and you, tonight.
Come on lover, don't you know that we're gonna be just fine?
You and me, oh I know we'll be forever,
Come on lover, ooh--
Come on lover, the stars, they all sing out for us.
Come on lover, you're the only one I'll ever love.
You and me, oh I knew we'd be forever,
Come on lover, don't let go.

Never thought things could be this way,
Oh my darling, be brave.
We're gonna be okay.
No, please don't go away...

Come on lover, you know I'd take the blame for you, if I could.
Come on lover, why did our story have to end the way it did?
I--- forgive you,
I--- will miss you,
And I--- thought we'd be forever,
Guess I was wrong.

Come on lover, just one more time,
Come on lover, don't say goodbye.
Come on lover... take my hand.
Come on lover...
Goodbye lover...
Goodbye lover... goodbye.

This seems like it would be an extremely catchy song if somebody sang it. However, unlike a lot of catchy songs nowadays, this one is actually quite well written and full of legitimate emotion. I really enjoyed reading this, and wouldn't be surprised if I heard this on the radio one day. Great work!

In the end, this has earned a solid 95/100 in my eyes. Nicely done :)

[Brenda Woods]

Ah, thank you so much! I have recorded it (albeit on the standard built in microphone on my laptop, so it's not the best of recordings), and the link's at the bottom of the lyrics if you wish to hear it.

I can dream :P I'd love it if my writing ever made it to that sort of level; though I doubt it ever will, as I only have the time to write as a hobby. But your review was very lovely and flattering, thank you.

P.S. - awesome profile picture! (perhaps befriending the cybermen is the best way to not be deleted...)

[DoormanDan]

You are welcome! I didn't notice the link before, so I'll check it out. I tried befriending it, but that didn't end well...for my backpack. :)

[Brenda Woods]

Oh no! What did it do to your backpack?? (At least you can say you tried, though. And at least you didn't get deleted!)

Those words allow great tune to take them and make them come out in the colors of the emotion, there's elasticity. A very fine piece of work.
