Need to be Free- Country/pop - lyrics critique
My friend and I are 14, new to songwriting, and we live in Nashville. We are really trying to make it big, like Taylor Swift. The tempo of this song is semi fast. The feeling is supposed to be mad. I wrote this about a friend who treated me like crap, and it ended up sounding better about a boyfriend who treats his girlfriend badly. When it says "Listen baby, I've tried so hard, to get you to see who you really are" it is a bit slower, and then it goes into The 3rd chorus, which starts off soft and accapello, but when it gets to the part about apologizing, it gets back to being loud and mad-sounding. We are really new (we have been writing only a couple of weeks), so any constructive critisim is helpful. Thank you!!!!
Note: the verse in between two lines (-) is the chorus
I'm tired of all the crap you give
Your insecurities
I'm tired of followin' you rules
I'm always on my knees
Who said you can run my life
When you can't even run your own
Babe if you keep acting like this
You'll be all alone
-I'm sick of your attitude
Your immaturity
Unless you're bringing me down, you're not truely happy
I shouldn't have to apologize for things I never did
And after all the constant fights, I see
I need to be free, yeah, I need to be free-
Here we are talking again, and you get mad at me
What's the point of dating if we're never happy
I don't wanna play your game, cuz I'm always wrong
And I just want to make it right
But that would take to long
-I'm sick of you attitude
Your immaturity
Unless you're bringing me down, you're not turly happy
I shouldn't have to apologize for things I never did
And after all the constant fights, I see
I need to be free-
Listen baby, I've tried so hard
To get you to see who you really are
-I'm sick of you attitude
Your immaturity
Unless you're bringing me down, you're not turly happy
I shouldn't have to apologize for things I never did
And after all the constant fights, I see
I need to be free-
