"A Ghost to Them Now"

You watch their anger explode without a word
You've grown up in this cold and hateful world
So alone and so young, innocent and beautiful
You put you hands over your ears as usual

You close your eyes as mommy starts to scream
Daddy takes a swing at her, letting out his steam
Mommy falls to the floor with a convincing thud
And daddy wipes his hands to clean off the blood

You hear glass crash to the floor
Can't keep in the tears no more
Mommy gets up again
But daddy's always gonna win

You cry but they can't see your pain
Come with me, I'll explain
You're a ghost to them now
Don't you dare wonder how

(Chorus)
Come with me, look this way
Can't you hear what I say?
You're a ghost to them now
Don't you dare wonder how

You're a puppet in a play
They pull the strings, move this way
You're a puppet in a play
They pull the strings, move that way

You hear the sirens in the distance
And daddy's stupid resistance
You see your mother's tears
Her letting go after all these years

(Chorus)
Come with me, look this way
Can't you hear what I say?
You're a ghost to them now
Don't you dare wonder how


I wrote this song yesterday (it took me 10 minutes and I'm 12, so consider this if you criticize) because I went to a friend's house and her parents were always fighting, and she has a little sister who is 5, and she's caught in this awful situation... It's really bad. So I wrote this for her.

"Fairytale"

Just like a mermaid in a fairytale
She was lying in the water
Waiting for the pain to go away
Her prince charming has yet to come
To save her pretty face

The white horse she was riding on
Wasn’t even safe
He tried to tell her but she was too in love
Soon it will be too late

Chorus
Princess, princess, poor little princess
All your dreams, swept away
Leaving you to your mistakes
And you feel like you need to get away, like you need to run away
Like you need, like you need, like you need, like you need

She knows better than anyone
That the pain will go away
It might leave but the scars
They are here to stay

Chorus:
Princess, princess, poor little princess
All your dreams swept away
Leaving you to your mistakes
And you feel like you need to get away, like you need to run away
Like you need, like you need, like you need, like you need

She is now living a nightmare
Always running away
We tried to tell her but she was too in love
And now it's too late

And now the nightmare is over
The witch got the best of her
It's scary how we feel inside
Can be the end of our life

Chorus:
Princess, princess, poor little princess
All your dreams swept away
Leaving you to your mistakes
And you feel like you need to get away, like you need to run away
Like you need, like you need, like you need, like you need


I wrote this song after my BFF's big break up, and I would appreciate any criticism because music is my life, and writing is too, so combining my voice and writing songs is my dream... If you'd like to check out some of my videos on Youtube, feel free to tell me and I'll send you the link in a PM. I'm actually going to put this song up on Youtube soon, but since I don't play guitar I did not write... well, the guitar part (haha). So if you would be willing to help me with that, it would be great! Thanks (and yes, I know, I talk too much)!

I like the "Fairytale" song, the lyrics were really unusual, which is something I like. If you don't mind sending me a link to your videos, I'd like to hear them. Anyways, I'm a songwriter too, so it's good to know there are others on this site. So.. keep up the good work (:
