"DIVORCE"- New song and new EP

This is the first song and title track of my new EP, "DIVORCE." I will share a new song every day for the next week.

Divorce

(Sad, slow acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar and soft drums)

Verse 1:

Life happens, it is what it is

But I just can't let it go

Am I gonna find someone else

I can't be sure, I just don't know

Why did you have to go

And leave me cryin' alone at night

I wanna say everything will be all right

But I can't help but wonder why



Chorus:

I did everything to keep you with me

But it wasn't enough and now I'm lonely

I should just move on, but I'm just feelin' too sad

Why does divorce

Gotta hurt so bad

(Sad, slow acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar and soft drums)



Verse 2:

All the promises we made

All the hope you put in my heart

But I wasn't good enough

And my whole just fell apart

Yeah, it fell apart

What am I supposed to do

Every day I cry out to you

But you don't even care, do you?

Chorus:



Bridge:

Why can't I just move on, forget all we were

Maybe it's because there's just too much hurt



Chorus:

Why does divorce

Gotta hurt so bad...



Outro:

Life happens, it is what it is

But I just can't let it go...

    I admire anyone who can squeeze so much emotion out of so few words.

    It is a talent and you have it!

    The song is eloquent and full of passion.

    If the rest of your songs are half as good as this, you're on a winner.

    minor point, end of v.2 reduce the number of "you's".

    'Every day I cry out to you', I'd drop off "to you",

    Leave the impact on the last line.

    Great song, look forward to the rest

  • Good lyrics with depth of emotion said in simple words that make it clear and easy to relate to. I envisioned the music described and feel this will be a solid intro to your works. It carries a good arc across the song and I liked the closing line leaving it open for our personal feelings on the matter.

    I agree that the usage of you is overdone here.

    Every day I cry out to you

    But you don't even care, do you?

    Every day I cry out to you

    but do you even care

    To keep it as a question.

    or

    Every day I cry out to you

    but you don't even care

    To end it in a statement of actuality.

    Just my suggestions.

    As a poet I often find myself having to reduce my references to a subject using pronouns. I am seeing it is similar in lyrics.
