I tried to build a song around a phrase I wrote ("Love doesn't die. I know, because I've tried to kill it a thousand times"). Emphasis on "tried". This song needs a lot more time to ferment into something palatable. But hey, it still counts for FAWM song #12!
EDIT: Love doesn't die, but apparently the guitar in the bridge kicked the bucket. This demo is so terrible, I'm not gonna fix it.
You were all of my dreams
A bonified wish come true
Pinches of perfection
With just a hint of attitude
Little did I know that
Things weren’t good as they seemed
You were looking around
For an exit strategy
If Only I had known that
Love doesn’t die
I know, I’ve tried to kill it a thousand times
Years gone by
Without you by my side
But love
No, Love don’t seem to die
Before I knew what happened
Your feelings turned cold as ice
Kicked me to the curb
And you didn’t even bat an eye
Battled scarred
I tried to move on with life
Had some success
But a part of me felt empty inside
If Only I had known that
Love doesn’t die
I know, I’ve tried to kill it a thousand times
Years gone by
Without you by my side
But love
No, Love don’t seem to die
Like the perfect drug
I just can’t quit your habit
Please return the hole you stole
I’m forever chasing white rabbits
Love doesn’t die
I know, I’ve tried to kill it a thousand times
Years gone by
Without you by my side
But love
No, Love don’t seem to die

Now those are cool lyrics. I love the misdirection of titles like that- It has to be a happy gooey love song, right? Nope! Really cool....and the hook at the end of the chorus is really strong too. Cool!
