Description
Who's sake am I taking on my shouldersI can't say 'cause it's too late to reconsider
One day I swear that I'll remember
'Til then I'll keep telling myself it's ok
I turn around for a second and you're leaving
Off with the crowd moving on without me
I realize that things are always changing
Whether it's for the better I can't see
Wondering if I'm lost when the sign's right beside me
Walking away whenever someone calls me
Doesn't really matter what I'm really feeling
So long as I keep telling myself it's ok
Inside outside it's still the same blue sky
Watch out for yourself 'cause no one else will
Walk out leave now before the fight gets started
You know by now that nothing will go well
At least let me understand
The reasons why
We're always behind
For a second or days to come in years
Why dreams won't ever disappear
I'm losing the map I thought I had in my hands
I'm walking forward blindly against the wind and
It's so dark that I can't read the street signs
But I'll keep on telling myself it's ok
What does it matter what people say
I won't let it affect me in any way
So long as I hear this song in my head
That no one else can
The alarm rings and I snap out of my daydream
Life is back to the way I thought it would be
But somehow I'm not back to the same me
I don't even notice but it's ok

One thing: "I turn around for a second and you're leaving / Away with crowd moving on without me" Doesn't make sense. "walking / away" may work better than "leaving / away" and then "with crowd moving on without me" --this sentence just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
LOVED: "I'm losing the map I thought I had in my hands." That's my favorite line of the whole poem. I also like how you ended with not feeling the same after the dream.

omg thank you so much you just caught a big typo (or rather, missed word). It's "Away with "the" crowd..." I am going to correct that right now xD
and about "leaving away" yah I understand the confusion; guess I never really read it as a poem but now that you've pointed it out, I notice it when singing too.
What I meant is "...leaving. / (Walking/Going) away with the crowd., moving on without me."
I could just insert "Walking" there now, but need to mull on it a bit longer to figure out what sounds good.
Thanks a lot!

what do you think about "leaving / Off with the crowd"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe: "I turn around for a second and you're leaving, / walking away with the crowd, moving on without me"
Do you like punctuation? Maybe that'd help too.

nevermind I've changed my mind again... I don't want to repeat "walking away" when it's in the third stanza as well...
I'll jsut keep it as "Off with the crowd" for now; at least it's better than "Away"

hmm thanks I guess I'll go with that
I didn't want too many syllables in that line at first, but it still sounds alright
thanks again
