Here's a piece I'm a little more confident in than the last one I posted. I wrote this during the end of a past relationship; It's almost like a tribute to my failed ideals of romanticisms. I didn't want it to come off too dark or depressing though, so hopefully it doesnt! I was aiming for more of a melancholy or complacent mood. 

I have this recorded somewhere in the depths of my computer, so I have a general idea for how the song flows and sounds. So I guess what I'd like to know, is do the lyrics fit within the context of the song? And is there anything glaring -good or bad- that you can see?

[Verse]

Memories are just folded sheets
An empty bed I don't understand
I never expected to follow my plan
This broken records on repeat

[Chorus]

I'll ask about your other friends
You'll tell me to go back to bed
Through the pounds that I might shed
I hope we can make amends

[Verse]


Write me down a verse or three
A beating heart I'll never hold
Even though I stand so bold
Love is just a melody


Tell me what you're thinking about
Gone like the birds is your attention
You cast me in infinite suspension
In my dreams you silently shout

[Chorus]


I'll ask about your other friends
You'll tell me to go back to bed
Through the pounds that I might shed
I hope we can make amends

[Ending Chorus/Bridge]


Fall in and out of breathlessness
Seven ways to drop a friend
Seven signs that it's the end
But apparently I love this

Just a kick of oxygen
I wish I could read the stars
You never asked about my scars
Just a wish for way back when
