lyrics included Showcaseable?

[Dazzyt66]

As some of you know, I’ve been experimenting with genres recently but I always seem to get drawn back to country! Anyway, this is a couple of my latest tracks - as far as I can go - finished. I think they are pretty good but probably not up to the pro standard for showcase. I’ve listed it here for general reaction (as opposed to crtique or I would’ve posted it there). Vocally I know there’s still some to be desired which I can only work on, but I think the tracks are pretty good since my first attempts at songs when I first joined... as I said, from my perspective, finished.

 

Thanks for listening 😀

I can remember when things were really good
I try to forget but don’t know if I should
I can hear the words we said and see the things we did
And if I’m honest I still miss you just a little bit

I’m not sure what else I can do
So I’ll just sit here thinking of you
Over a drink or two
Maybe I’ll have a few

 

I’m stronger now than you ever thought I was
I found my way back from lost in the world of Oz
I’m not sure if the pain will ever go away
But I’m pretty certain I’ll live through another day

And I’m not sure what else I can do
So I’ll just sit here thinking of you
Over a drink or two
Maybe I’ll have a few

 

At one point you were my world
And I know I said some things that hurt
But the memories maketh the man
So I carry on the best I can

 

And now you’re becoming a distant memory
These fading thoughts are finally setting me free
But there are times when echoes they come back
But I’m determined that they won’t knock me off my track

And I’m not sure what else I can do
So I’ll just sit here thinking of you
Over a drink or two
No I’m not sure what else I can do
So I’ll just sit here thinking of you
Over a drink or two

 

Because of You © Darren Thomas 2017

 

I’ve had my share of heartbreak
But I’ve known love and success
I’ve been at the very bottom
But I crawled out of that mess
Survived on my own at times
And I’ve shared good memories
Lived through my own failures
And been carried on the breeze

 

But I know for sure
As sure as you do
That I was put on this earth
Because of you

 

I’ve made mistakes along the way
Hurt more people than I can say
There’s times that I didn’t know what to do
But all of those times I’ve been there for you
I’ve been a leader of men
But I’ve also had to follow
At times this road was hard
I’ve had to beg and steal and borrow

 

But I know, for sure
As sure as you do
That I was put on this earth
Because of you

 

I crawled out of the mess
I’ve been a leader of men
Survived on my own
But this is now and that was then

 

But I know, for sure
As sure as you do
That I was put on this earth
Because of you

Because of you

Yeahhhhhh

Because of you
