Innocent Song Lyrics Written By My 16-Year-Old Self
Didn't we all write cheesy love songs when we were teenagers?
Weren't we all naive 16-year-olds at one point? I was so young, optimistic, and willing to feel this wildly cliche emotion. Before I grew into my jaded 20-year-old form, I wrote these lyrics about a special someone. It's kind of gross and embarrassing, so I thought I'd share them with the world.
Verse 1:
I can't write a poem or a symphony to show how much I love
But I can give you all my thoughts because you're all I'm thinking of
It might not seem that I want you more than the ones who are so free
But oh, how I ache each and every day for you so discreetly
Chorus 1:
Here is the cliche word, the one used oft too much
The one used to describe the way you feel as such
With the simplest chords you'd ever see, F G C
This is the cliche song, the one that makes you smile
One, two, a three and four, a one and two and three
A one-y and a two and three and four, a one and two and three
Verse 2:
I know I should stop, I've tried and tried, it eats me inside and out
But the way you sit and move your eyes filled my heavy head with doubt
Now I can only write my simple words in the form of a rhyme
With syllables in every line to match the years I've lived in time
Chorus 2:
Here is the cliche word, the one used oft too much
The one used to describe the way you feel as such
With the simplest chords you'd ever see, F G C
This is the cliche song, the one that makes you smile
