NOTE: This song was written for the competition at SongFight.org, where each week entrants write a new song using the song title the site gives out. The title for the week I entered was "Couldn't Have Been Worse", so that is how the song got its name.
Couldn't Have Been Worse
===========================
When the silence is broken
you can't take anymore
locked together in a room full of windows
'cause you can't find a door
Like the waves of the ocean disappear
as they crash on the beach
you know that what you do is never good enough
no matter how high you reach
There's too many questions
and not enough time
they can't find a witness
to a victimless crime
This falling in love
is it a blessing or curse?
like a shot through the heart
man, it couldn't have been worse
Chorus
===========================
But my life goes on
time to get back into this game
gotta sweep away all of the embers
from this emotional flame
Always head towards the future
never take a look back
pick myself up off of the floor
should I start to crumble or crack
===========================
I wanna rise from the darkness
feel the sun on my face
look around at all the beauty in this world
and see a happier place
Is it just human nature
or is it part of the plan?
this physical attraction so confusing
between a woman and a man
Behind the layers of riddles
all those secrets and lies
there's a soul to be found
under every disguise
The scars of our love
give a sense of justice perverse
an ever constant reminder
of what couldn't have been worse
Chorus
===========================
But my life goes on
time to get back into the game
gotta sweep away all of the embers
from this emotional flame
Always head towards the future
never take a look back
pick myself up off of the floor
if I should start to crumble or crack
'Cause this is it
this is my life
'Cause this is it
this is my own life
============================
