I dunno why but it sounds a little off to me.. maybe just change the first few words to something like see, how pathetic I can be or something else like see, I'm as pathetic as can be or I can be pathetic, too, you see ...? just my two cents :wink:


oh and that chorus is very good, too. especially the image of the first 5 lines..

so all in all definitely a keeper, I think:)
cheers,

V
Too young to even care
So naïve and unaware
Do you see where this has gotten me
So out of place everywhere
I see them laughing over there
Do you see the way I had to be?

B
I lived like the world
Owed me a favour
Left to pick up the pieces I gave her
But juvenile dreams
They disappear at sixteen
Look at how pathetic I can be

C
And when the laughter stopped
I thought we'd be too old to remember
But when I think of what I lost
The memory's too tender
To even bring it up
So change your faces
Once again
And time after time
We must forget

V
Too frail to even care
So tired and unaware
Do you see what life has done to me?
Feel so lonely everywhere
No-one listens, they just stare
Do you see the way I have to be?

B
Living like the world
Owes me a favour
I'm still picking up the pieces I gave her
But I guess that my dreams
Grew older with me
Look at how pathetic I can be

C
And when the laughter stopped
I thought we'd be too old to remember
But when I think of what I lost
The memory's too tender
To even bring it up
So change your faces
Once again
And time after time
We must forget]]> Sunday Songwriters Group guitargeek https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-16-changing-faces/#post-7397
