Well this lyric ended up in a completely different place from where it was supposed to go. Started out as a depressing, slow ballad and now it's HAPPY and I don't know what to do. It seems a little, idk, cliche as a result. Made the mistake of showing somebody with the original music and it just plain did not work. Anybody have ideas for how to fix?


"Until Then" - C. 2010

V. 1
I’m not saying that it’s easy
I’m just telling you the truth
And I’m not sure that you’ll believe me
Even though I really need you to
Cause I’m not staying here forever
I’m not ready for that part
You know that someday I’ll be leaving
But for now you have my heart

V. 2
Never planned on staying this long
Life just caught us by surprise
And I still find it amazing
That we’ve lasted all this time
I can’t promise you forever
Only “till death do us part”
It could be over in an instant
But until then you have my heart

V. 3
When I fade into a memory
If tomorrow never dawns
Even though you cannot find me
Know I won’t be truly gone
I can’t stay with you forever
Our whole lives are just the start
But I will wait for you to join me
And you will always have my heart.
