My Lyrics To: Steeped In Sadness

Sometimes writing sad songs just has to be done. 

Thankfully, they are not the only kind of songs I write.

STEEPED IN SADNESS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

OCTOBER 2016  

GOT MYSELF A LITTLE DOWN

SHE NEVER CAME AROUND

SITTING HERE IN SILENCE, EXCEPT FOR THIS OLD CLOCK

THE SUN IS GOING DOWN AND I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP

THINKING ABOUT THINGS, AND THEY WAY THEY ALL GO

NOW THE SUNS GONE DOWN

AND I'M SITTING HERE IN THE DARK

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I LET MYSELF SINK A BIT

CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MY WAY AROUND IT

EVEN A LITTLE BIT

STEEPED IN SADNESS, HANGING MY HEAD

A TEAR IN MY EYE WHEN I SHOULD BE SMILING INSTEAD

SOME THINGS JUST HIT MY HEART

AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

KEEP TRYING TO LET IT GO AND HOPE IT PASSES THROUGH

FOR NOW I'LL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH BEING SAD

AT LEAST I'M ALIVE, SEE IT 'S NOT SO BAD

I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO DAYS FILLED WITH SUNSHINE AND LOVE

THEN MAYBE I WON'T FEEL SO SAD

WHILE I WAIT, I POUR MYSELF A DRINK

HOLD IT UP HIGH, TO TOAST NO ONE THERE

JUST ME AND SOME OLD GHOSTS, SITTING IN THIS CHAIR 

I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND I SEE THE MOON

TRACING ACROSS THE SKYLINE

STEEPED IN SADNESS ALL ALONE AGAIN

I CAN'T HELP IT IF I SOFTLY CRY

I CAN THINK OF A HUNDRED REASONS WHY

THE LOVE I HAD WAS JUST WASTING TIME

AND WASTING SO MUCH OF MINE

SO MUCH FOR GOOD INTENTIONS 

SO MUCH FOR EVERLASTING LOVE

SHE THREW MY HEART AWAY

NOW THERE'S NO ONE AND NOTHING

 TO STOP ME FROM FALLING DOWN

NO NEW STEPS FORWARD, CAN'T GET MY FEET TO MOVE

TOO STEEPED IN SADNESS NOT TO SLIP AWAY

THIS HEART CAN'T LAST WITHOUT LOVE

PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S NOT MY FATE

FIND ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
