First Song (Empty Illusion)

Paragraph 1:

In this sad state of mine,

It's you I should blame,

This pathetic me, this weak self, so helpless,

I wanted to be strong, to be able to go on with life,

But because of you,

I'm bounded in chains.

Paragraph 2:

I know that life can be a really tough game,

But because you were there,

I was able to stand on my own,

And because of you,

My heart broke into two,

Yet you still live in my undying memory.

Chorus:

I want to hold you so much,

I want your hand in mine,

I wish that I could tell you,

How much I love you,

Though we can never be,

My heart still betrays me,

And I can't help myself but cry.

Paragraph 3:

For months I thought that you and I could go on till the end of our days,

But suddenly, you left me stranded and alone,

Yet I couldn't cry even though my heart hurt inside,

I still want you,

Yes I need you.

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:

And I harbored hope,

In my dearest dream,

For you touched my heart and filled it to the brim,

You made me love you,

You made me care,

But before I could stop,

You left with your share.

2nd Bridge (continuation of the first bridge in a slightly different tune):

You made me smile, you made me laugh,

You made me love you more and more,

To be by your side,

Your single hope and guide,

I'm wishing you were here

I'm wishing you were here…

You're my empty illusion.

End paragraph:

I know I can't change the past anymore,

Though I wind the clock continuously back and forth (back and forth)

I can't stop wishing my memories will halt,

And you'll be always with me,

My empty illusion…

(Unsure) End Chorus:

I want to hold you so much,

I want your hand in mine,

I wish that I could tell you,

How much I love you.

I know we can never be,

Yet my stupid heart betrays me,

I can't help it,

Will you always be in my undying memory?

My empty illusion,

My empty illusion….

(A/N): It doesn't sound too stalker-like right? I just wrote what I felt. Yes, it is simple (in terms of the way I wrote the song or the tune) but that's how the song came out though I am (still) trying to improve my songwriting skills. Maybe there are grammar mistakes, so do correct me. I hope you liked the song/lyrics. I'll try to record it and post this in my account page. Like "Breathless" this song consists of only four chords and a pretty much repetitive chord progression. I would like to blame the fact that I'm familiar with only those four chords. Some parts of this song are still in contemplation. Like should the ending fade away or if I should cut the end chorus but I'll confirm it and rewrite it when I'm certain. Thank you for reading and please leave a comment.
