Chris quickly looked around the stage. Everything looked set up. She saw the drums were good, the guitars were on the stands awaiting the guitarists. She smiled happily, the bar was empty except for the workers. They had a concert tonight, so Chris insisted they prep and rehearse so there wouldn't be mistakes.
" Hey guys." She said as her band walked in she looked at her lyric sheet.
" Hey Chris, what's up?" Her drummer, Ben, asked as he looked over her shoulder at the lyrics.
" I'm not sure about these lyrics guys, i mean, I wrote them when I was a teenager. Some of the words don't even fit." She laughed, she had wrote it when she was angry at her mother.
" Just sing it and lets see, if not, we'll play a different one." her bassist, Dominic, said. She nodded as the boys set up and got ready. She stepped up to the mic and cleared her throat.
"Ask and you'll say that behind every lie there's a fine line between right and wrong. Nothing's sent away the happiness and I don't need the lies. I know I hate you, i know you will never belong to me you're like a dark street, under The reign of one king but they're not here anymore and I'm not here at all.
You want it all, I didn't mean to seem as though I was not the woman you used to know, there's nothing that I have left, not one shred of sympathy, I have become nothing. Someone please help me to breathe if I choose to stay and I watch as you run away and leave me all alone on this cold dark street and you're looking for a scapegoat, trying to hide the guilt you feel.
Long past due walking down the road and around the bend we pray to god it never ends I've been waiting on you and you run away well you shoved it in, held me down in flames, I'm falling down he says it will change, insult after insult, i stand up, I will not give up. I guess my mother never loved my father and now I know I know. That I was back home, after another sleepless night.
Again and again I've asked you to take me away and you just closed your eyes and turned you back I'm done with your lies I see your eyes, I see the pain, closure has come to me like a foreign soul. It devoured my soul, suffocated my heart, tore me to pieces. I've said it before, I've heard the same lies, it's finally time to say goodbye."
Chris sighed as the song ended and shook her head. " It's not ready for people to listen to yet." She said. " It still needs heavy edits." She added, the boys nodded.
" Okay, so what do you want to play instead?" Matt, the guitarist, asked. She thought for a moment and looked through her lyric sheets.
" This one." She said handing him the sheet and he passed it around with a nod. They began to play it.
"We stay up every night We fade away But now you're living in a dream I'm torn apart from the one I love Oh, my baby. Where have you gone? You know I'm sending angels to watch you sleep Cuz I'm always on the run
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you And what in the world would I do without you?
I try to picture memories we made On these cold and lonely nights, Sometimes it's hard to see your face Soon, my baby, when I return I swear we'll make up every moment to erase the morning sun
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you And what in the world would I do without you? I wonder what I'd do if I lost you And what in the world would I do without you?
And I don't know what I'd do if I lost you And what in the world would I do without you?
I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you I wonder what I'd do if I lost you."
