I'm cheating I know. I'd already written this one but I thought I'd just ease myself back in. I'll come up with an original next week.
I've since redone the vocals, but this will give you an idea.

That's the way it should be
Got a picture
I don't look at anymore
A picture
of heartbreak and me
We're smiling there next to each other
she's smiling to hide things from me
Chorus:
And I don't wanna talk
and you don't wanna listen
I should turn around and walk
before I know what I'll be missing
that's the way it should be
stand beside me
and what do you see
half a picture
lonely and me
were smiling first time at each other
I wonder just who you might be
Chorus:
I'm afraid to say hello
afraid of one more heartache
afraid that's all I'll ever know
another lonely daybreak
that's the way it should be
together
just you and me
take a picture
of maybe and me
now we're holding ourselves close together
I wonder if this time could be
Chorus:
and now I've said hello
I'll never know the reason why
afraid of what I'll never know
afraid to hear you say
goodbye
that's the way it should be
that's the way it should be
Hi Nick,
I like your song :D , a very tight and well-balanced song. I like the three stories linked together with the single concept. I don't think there's anything here that I would change. I look forward to hearing it when I get home.
Cheers

Beautiful song Nick. I've been feeling this song alot lately, you may understand what I mean.
I particularly felt this verse alot
And I don't wanna talk
and you don't wanna listen
I should turn around and walk
before I know what I'll be missing
Very good stuff.

Thank you. I do believe it was the Fylde Orsino and Taylor 712ce
Nick,
Very nice I like the harmony vocals.
These lines stand out for me:
We're smiling there next to each other
she's smiling to hide things from me
It leaves me wondering why you are smiling
John
ah well, because I didn't know.
It's that picture thing, it makes everything look so perfect, but it's only a picture.
Nick,
Loved this line, as well!
We're smiling there next to each other
she's smiling to hide things from me
But then I found lots that I like!
it makes everything look so perfect, but it's only a picture
I feel a song coming on! Great song, G. :)
