...Well, I guess I should start by asking if there's any creative titles someone could share? The lyrics will be changed and I will make it better over time, but this is it right now, and I wanted to see if anyone can connect or get the feel of it and what some opinions are. Thanks lots everyone :).
(Title)
It has been just one hour,
Since you got home,
Since you sat down,
Since you looked in my eyes.
And all this time I've been hoping,
That the guilt
You are dressed in,
Is just paranoia of mine.
(chorus)
I don't want to ask,
Because I think I know the answer.
I don't want your confessions,
Because I can't handle it tonight
I'm beggin' you to lie to me,
Tell me everything will be alright.
I'm beggin' you to lie to me,
I don't want to find out this time.
It's been just an hour,
I can see you're ready to tell me.
But stop your lips from moving,
Just please let me be.
No name is needed,
I don't want to know if it was her again.
Spare me the details,
It was hard enough when I found out back then.
Once is enough, I can't hear it again...
What I don't know won't hurt me.
(chorus)
All I wanted was a lie,
This heart couldn't take the truth.
I wasn't ready for your confession,
'Cause I don't want to face my own.
I'm not ready to leave you,
But you're stabbing me with my own tears.
And feeding fake apologies...
Just shutup, and please, baby please
I'm beggin' you to lie to me...

I know it wasn't reason,
That made me do what wasn't right
but sometimes my heart falls prone
to the nature of your spite.
Hey stefhy,
Awesome, I wouldn't change it at all, I think it is a great song and you should keep it that way, you should check out my song, Untitled as of right now its near the top by rejectedagain, and you can listen to an Mp3 of it on the page, we kind of have simliar styles, peace.
Well, in all honesty I was ready for that one to be based. Maybe it's just because I haven't written in such a long time, I was feeling a little less confident than other times... So thanks very much for the comment, and I will be sure to check out yours aswell. I love gettin' to hear and read them, but unfortunately I can only use the internet at school right now so it might be a while before I get a chance to. I definately will though, you have my word (and I'm really lookin' forward to it :) ). Thanks again. Best wishes. Peace.

Hey Steph
I have to say what a gut wrenching song , I was feeling very sorry the narrator in this song .
As for a title I am thinking along the lines of a word you use only once in this ... But it's meaning is all the way through the song ..
"Paranoia "
As for changing any lyric go with what you have and wait till you have the music , then a little tweek here and there to make the words fit the music should be all you need to do ..
I am thinking slow finger picking around Am chord ... just a suggestion
Well done Steph
Great imagery

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Well, I've got to say, that song impressed me. Just curious, what's your primary intrument and style and to where do you go to school?
And a title along the lines you've got is great. "Begging You to Lie" would work too.
