Believe Me
I found this in a stack of many things like it -- songs that weren't good enough to ever put music to. It's from February 2005. I'm calling it "Believe Me," now, but referred to it as "Overly Emo Love Song" at the time.
I want to show you how much I love you
If it's the only thing I ever do
If it's what you needed to see it
I'd rip my heart out and serve it to you
Because life's too short to be living in doubt
Whatever it takes to believe me is what I need now
So just tell me make me force me show me how
I can make you see
I can see it in your eyes
Like every time's a surprise
I tell you that I need you
You consider it all lies
It's the truth and that I know
So drop the caution and let's just go
Believe me when I tell you truth
The thing I love most is you
If you want my heart on a platter
I'll bring it to you with a knife and spoon
Just on the hope you'll believe me
More than once in a blue moon
Whatever you want me to do
Whatever you need me to say
Whatever it takes to convince you
I can make you see
Naturally, there'd be some differentiation between chorus, verses, and breaks. I don't think my notes every got that far. It was really interesting to find this. And pretty exciting to tear up the paper it was written on.
