Stuck in My Mind

(Verse 1) I really don’t know what to say

I been puttin you through all of that pain

Thinking about every single way

That I put in you in dismay


(Rap 1) I just wish I could go back

Back on track do you know that

I just wanna go to that day

That I left you with that last lap

I shoulda been there

I could’ve been there

I really loved you

Tried to show you

But I let it all go-lost control-shoulda known

From the start that I could lose it all—so fast


(Pre-Chorus 1) Saw you fall like glass

I could see the ashes

Left behind you

As I burn and slash

At what defines you


(Chorus 1) Because I see the way he makes you smile

I sit and I just watch awhile

I see the feelings I used to feel

The ones I have to keep concealed

Because I left you shattered

I left you shattered

That day


(Verse 2) Things didn’t end very well

It felt like I just threw you in a cell

Every step I take just digs me

Even deeper into hell

I’m not the one to blame

I’m the one that brings shame

Not to me or my friends

But to my feelings

(Rap 2) the hearts that were broken

The hearts that were cracked

The hearts I broke into a million scraps

Seeing the pain I bring

The shame I sing

I hate I see

The ache that rings inside of me


(Pre-Chorus 2) The bloods on my hands

Who the heck I am

This relationship was just a sham

I want you to find somebody who can


(Chorus 2) I see the way I break your smile

I sit and i just watch awhile

I see the feelings that I used to feel

The ones that I have to keep concealed

I just left you shattered

Oh I left you shattered today.


(Instrumental)

(The first Chorus mixed with second at the end)


The Story Behind it: it was my first song I ever wrote, and my buddy had made and instrumental with his guitar that I could work with to write a song after we both shared our interests in making music. Soon after I sat in my room and wrote on an old notebook and just went for it. I listened to the instrumental many times while writing and made an actual song. I ended up really enjoying it and wrote about these girls that I was a douche bag to, classic 8th grade crushes and stuff like that. But it actually means a lot and meant a lot in that moment so it was super cool and is the song that began this whole journey.

The longest stretch of the book, and the loudest. Most of these carry a date and an album.
