Louder Than A Siren (Original Song #10)

I actually began writing this song yesterday and finished just a little bit ago. It started out as me being upset with one of my friends because she was ignoring me (it's a bit of a long story) but then it turned into a sort of break up type song I guess. When I was mad yesterday I couldn't really do anything about it other than write my emotions out as song lyrics so this song started as me trying to figure out the situation I was currently in. Only about half of the song is words I wrote about my friend.

Verse:
I don't know what I did
To make you act this way
Wasn't everything just fine
Only yesterday?

You're under my skin
And I can't shake you out
This silent treatment you're giving me
Is louder than the loudest sound

Prechorus:
I picked up my guitar
With nothing else to do
I screamed at the top of my lungs
These words about you

Chorus:
I wanna say 'I hate you'
Wanna just ignore you
But I keep talking to you
Even though you don't reply

You took my heart and threw it
Now it's shattered on the ground
This silence that you're giving me
Is louder than a siren now

It's louder than a siren now
And I can't block you out

Verse:
Did I happen to
Make some big mistake?
Don't you know you're making
Tears fall down my face?

In that last moment
When I looked you in the eyes
I would've never believed
That was our goodbye

Chorus:
I wanna say 'I hate you'
Wanna just ignore you
But I keep talking to you
Even though you don't reply

You took my heart and threw it
Now it's shattered on the ground
This silence that you're giving me
Is louder than a siren now

It's louder than a siren now

Bridge:
Fire alarms
A bullet shot straight through my heart
Red and blue lights
You're louder than a siren's call

Chorus:
I wanna say 'I hate you'
Wanna just ignore you
But I keep talking to you
Even though you don't reply

You took my heart and threw it
Now it's shattered on the ground
This silence that you're giving me
Is louder than a siren now

It's louder than a siren now
It's louder than a siren now
It's louder than a siren now
And I can't block you out
