I've gotta do some soul searching
Find out what I really want
Uncover what I really need
'cause I'm not sure anymore
If you fit the bill

I wish, with such high hopes
But the doubts creep in
Sneaking between the cracks
Whispering and hinting
Prodding at my framework

I'm beginning to wonder
If you fit the bill anymore
I - I've gotta do some soul searching

Nobody can answer these questions
Screaming at me from inside
I - I've gotta do some soul searching

I don't know how you managed it
But you reached in
To a place you don't belong
Seizing my soul with both hands
You've become a vice

Drowning my individuality
When did I trade it in
For couples' therapy,
A ring burning my finger,
And the proverbial ball and chain?

I'm beginning to wonder
If you fit the bill anymore
I - I've gotta do some soul searching

Back up and give me my space
You've wormed way too far in
I - I've gotta do some soul searching

Don't you dare smother me
I am fully capable of making
My own decisions and taking
Care of myself before you
Ever came into the picture

I'm beginning to wonder
If you fit the bill anymore
I - I've gotta do some soul searching

...I finally managed to capture the whole situation with my mom and situation in words. I'm not sure I'm happy with it, but I'm glad it came out (otherwise it would've been bottled for quite some time).

:heart:

Classic songwriting. I don't know if I completely love the 'soul searching' bit, just 'cuz it sounds odd to me in a melody, but great work otherwise!

I think you captured the situation quite well. Maybe it's not the piece of writing you wanted it to be, but it's still very good. You can always revisit the topic later and change the elements around. I find myself doing that.

Good piece. Lots of thought provoking lines in there. Faved :)

Yeah, I've been to go back to writing classic songwriting; haven't done it in a while. Forgot how much it is to write. :D 'Soul searching' bit is odd in the melody, but it was what started it. Thanks!

:hug: Thanks, I wasn't sure if I conveyed it correctly. Good point, I might have to edit it at a later day, if necessary. :D

And thanks for the :+fav:!
