Angers Lie's
Hey you over there with the long hair
Will you lean over here and tell me your fears Answer my question, was I wrong? All I wanted was for you to see You were the only thing that meant anything to me I tried... I couldn’t see past your fucking eyes You whispered softly in my ears Replacing love with your desperate fears I swore to you I wouldn’t leave I made a promise that I would always keep Never once did I question you I always believed the words you said Just like I believed you took no one else to bed As if I couldn’t walk any more I ran across the wooden floors I screamed at you I pushed you away I made you feel like trash that day As if I could ever do such a thing It was a dream just like every meaningful thing you ever said ---------wrote last year--------- |

This song is awful. 'Hey there you with the long hair' really sets the tone for the overall weakness of this song. The rhyming scheme goes off balance within the middle of the song, and then totally fades away towards the end. I'm sorry, but I think it's back to the drawing board for you..

Its not awful. She gets the point across clearly, while still making it rhyme and the fact that the rhyming scheme changes isn't a problem if its a mid-section, with a different vocal melody and rhythm.
Two things you should change are: 1. A lot of the individual phrases. Currently you get the point across, but its all a bit ugly, clumsy and unpoetic. This counts for a lot of the lines, so I'd suggest just look at each of them individually and see if you can alter them, one at a time even, to give them more style. 2. You use the word 'I' way, way too much. Written down, it visually stands out, like pimples on the face of the lyric. When its sung, as it isn't used as a hookline and doesn't seem to be used in a particularly rhythmic way, it sounds very repetitive. Not in a good way. The song is about you and somebody else, but that doesn't mean that you have to keep saying 'I' the whole way through though.

yeah that hair line is so cliche. lots of people have long hair. and maybe lose the swearing as well. it seems to early in the song. maybe stick it later in the song, give it more powerful delivery.
