Get rid of distractions
by: Anonymous

I started writing only 6 months ago and have written over 200 lyrics from start to finish. In that same 6 months I sat down at the piano and put 10 to music. The key is to find private time and pull out your favorite R&B and listen to it over and over. When I started trying to write I used Cold PLay as my inspiration. Then I pulled 2 or 3 or their best songs that I wanted to sound like and played them over and over. I them would listen for a phrase that sounded good to me and I would write a title based on a single word or group of words in the song. After I chose the title I would write a story based on my title and almost everytime I would finish the Lyrics in less than 10 minutes. Now my band is playing my songs more than the cover songs. But you have to put yourself into the mood. Keep friends and family away while you do this and I promise it will work.

a good R&B song

Yea, It is just about right. It is stimulating creativeness. But get used to doing your own vocals without listening to anther persons creativity. This will move you to another step of doing your own phrase without picking phrases from other peoples songs. Just try and tell what you experience.

My love
I wrote a story and it didn’t finish cause you weren’t there
Ive seen things im not proud
Of
And that is you
But baby please come back to me
And leave your heart on the chair
Cause you don’t deserve it
Are you worthy of love

But are you my love
Cause I don’t know you get plent soul
And I cant see you
But people say that we don’t relate to the road
And people say love is blind
But are trust
Cause I need my love

Trying to get a chance is harder then you think
People walk and talk without it
I write you down and never give it up cause you’re a long story
But this love I cant leave without it
But now I fight for you
Give up all the lies
Ive tried with you
Whats gonna take to get through to you

But are you my love
Cause I don’t know you get plent soul
And I cant see you
But people say that we don’t relate to the road
And people say love is blind
But are trust
Cause I need my love

Baby im bringin me back
And your okay with that
Cause all the lies are behind you
You could have fun
But it wont lost for long
Cause im wrong you

But are you my love
Cause I don’t know you get plent soul
And I cant see you
But people say that we don’t relate to the road
And people say love is blind
But are trust
Cause I need my love

im juat playing around with music

The light
The firework sparks my interest to you cause I know you are so special
It’s like a limelight that’s not whole
Without a love I loved the most
But mama don’t sleep no cause she knows what she woke up to
It’s like a boy taking bottles from a lonely child
Now the cabinet wont be the same no
Cause all the wood broke down and her feet
Then she came down crying

Hollywood
The girl came in with her bags at the door but then she said to her mama what are you doing
Its like nothing ever comes her way
She turned around and saw a new place but there was a same story
Now shes trying to find her sign in life like everybody else
Theres a new mask that took her place now
Its like a stealing a bone from a dog
And now she screams for help

Runaway
I tried to runaway from you
But you need me more then ever
Like a girl needs a home
I waited till twelve oclock but you didn’t pick up
And now im sittin here waiting for a broken heart that’s about to be whole
And the love I see is what I want
But could you be more understanding like a love has no heart in school
And if I write this heartfelt letter will it make me miss you

I picked you up 8oclock but tell me why you never show
Its like a paper without a page
But can you make it more blank
Cause I don’t want you to see my face
And the person ive become
Its like a whole new me started to wash away
And pearl is appearing
But baby please don’t runaway
Cause I need you
Like a child needs a baby

Goodnight
The moon settled tonight
But your love is nowhere to be found
But if I sleep would you put me in your arms
And when you knock me out
You make me see stars
Like I just got down on it
But baby jump on it
Like you are on a trampoline
But im not gonna let you get off
Cause I already been through that road
And its like a car that’s not able to start
Make it from love

I was yours now and forever
But you just say no
But baby are you alive cause your hearts not beating
Its like I cant stand distraction
And a information without a fact
But don’t you go away from me
Cause Im new to that
The owl chirps saying I love you
Not in English class so grow up
I have the right to do that
In what are you
Im in desperate need

I cant seem to shake the pain
But I cant let her go
Cause she got me thinkin of a used to be
And everythin came crashin at my feet
In one time(can somebody tell me why time passes so fast) she was here, and then not but what happened to us
Whyd you have to go over there
With him, I thought we already talked this out
He got problems

Baby remember the night he took you to a secret place
He made you do things you didn’t even remember his name
Cause he got you doin him bad
And know all the time I think of you and me
Don’t you know that I could get you back
If you want me to
But baby I have to let you know
That he aint no good

So baby why are you leaving this is are first day
So baby why are you packing after all the times we waited
This long and still he has feelings for you
He wants you home at 8
Then drop you off at 6
But how could you be with a man like him
Can you do your own thing
And stop pretenin you have feelings for me
Cause I cant take it no more(no)

Baby remember the night he took you to a secret place
He made you do things you didn’t even remember his name
Cause he got you doin him bad
And know all the time I think of you and me
Don’t you know that I could get you back
If you want me to
But baby I have to let you know
That he aint no good

Why do you have to have him
Cant it be me I am here
And all my lies
And all my truth
Will soon disappear

Baby remember the night he took you to a secret place
He made you do things you didn’t even remember his name
Cause he got you doin him bad
And know all the time I think of you and me
Don’t you know that I could get you back
If you want me to
But baby I have to let you know
That he aint no good

I think of her she is always in my mind
I can't believe were here but still distance apart
Remember when we first met love and candy no need to say goodbye
