Heres the latest...semi completed

Emoticon

I've never seen your face
You've never seen me
How can I feel love?
Why do I feel free?

Sure we've talked
Yeah we know
Who we are
Where we live

But how can you feel
Over a wire line?
Peace never knows
Neither do I

I'm just an emoticon
Trying to figure out whats going on
This will end in hurt and pain
It always ends up the same
Better if I never see your face
Best if I stay in my place

Time will tell
Time will mend my heart
Time of course tore it apart
Yeah I lost my connection

Now its dark
You ripped out my heart
And I've never even seen you

Feelings spiked are feelings severed
I'll be this way forever

Pretty good for a semi complete song.

Good observations about IMing and having a crush.

Just a thought: seeing as the song is called emoticon, it might be nice to include a couple of subtle references; why not try thinking about creative ways to use words like colon, bracket, semi-colon, smile, frown, wink, pixel, keystroke etc. Not easy but if you put your mind to it...

I like your idea but I think there are too many wasted lines, for example:
Peace never knows / Neither do I
It always ends up the same
Best if I stay in my place
Time will tell

These lines don't really add anything or just repeat previous lines.
