Can I just say I agree with Margret when she wrote ,

I feel it as a retrospective, introspective mood rather than humorous, though

I have no idea what that means but sh1t it sounds impressive , :lol: :lol:

( sorry Margret bit of fun)


I like this very good writting

I think these are some really strong lyrics.

I feel it as a retrospective, introspective mood rather than humorous, though.

I think you've really captured an emotion that a lot of folks can relate to.

Let us know when you get something recorded so we can have a listen.

Good work!

this is a good take on the assignment. For me the flow is interesting, almost a monologue or rap feel to it. Id be interested in hearing it if you have time to record it.

cheers

I tried too hard to make this work,
I tried too hard to be accepted,
I spent all of my spare time,
Knowing that I've just collected,
A million things that will do no good,
And I've lost so much, that I could gain,
I spent nearly all my life trying,
Now I have to live with the pain…

My blood, sweat, and tears,
Went into this life,
And all I got was a few hello's,
And a lot of goodbyes,
I wasn't good enough,
And I tried too hard,
And all it got me, was on my own…

Now I'm sitting by myself,
Just thinking about the days,
When I was younger, didn't have a care,
And I always got my way,
But when you get too old,
You have so much responsibility,
You have to worry about fitting in,
And that's where it all went wrong,
It all went wrong…

My blood, sweat, and tears,
Went into this life,
And all I got was a few hello's,
And a lot of goodbyes,
I wasn't good enough,
And I tried too hard,
And all it got me, was on my own…

If I could have all that time back,
I wouldn't worry about the population,
And their infatuation,
With looking good, being cool,
And if you're not then you're just a fool,
And if you tried too hard,
Then you got dissed on,
It's so wrong, I wish I could turn back time,
I would make it right…

My blood, sweat, and tears,
Went into this life,
And all I got was a few hello's,
And a lot of goodbyes,
I wasn't good enough,
And I tried too hard,
And all it got me, was on my own…]]> Sunday Songwriters Group rejectedagain https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/tried-too-hard-ssg-wk-36/#post-19039
