Now that the race has ended 

The team cannot be mended

He doesn’t even run anymore 

Not the person I knew before

Unrecognizable to me 

With the sudden urge to flee

All the words you spoke

Away in a puff of smoke 

With each promise to stay 

A new price I had to pay

With each promise to stay 

A new price I had to pay

With fragile emotions 

I only wanted his devotion 

With every glimpse of hope 

I am unable to cope 

A future and a dream

Used to make me beam

Not believeing it’s real 

I forget how to feel

With each promise to stay 

A new price I had to pay

With each promise to stay 

A new price I had to pay

I was trying to think about personal experiences while writing my song. My process to writing my song was coming up with a rhyme scheme and lyrics. I would come up with a few different variations of lines and ask a few of my friends which one fit best. It was way easier than I expected once I started doing it. I was surprised at how good of an outlet it actually was. While my song is probably not the best, I do think it turned out better than I was expecting. I am not sure if I will write another song, but the activity did make me realize that writing out feelings could be a good outlet for me. If I were to write another song, I would imagine it would be another love song, but maybe not of the pop genre.
