Love Don't Exist ( Scrapped Version )

Written: May 15th, 2022

Genre: Soft-Rock

Hi, this is like the millionth version of Love Don't Exist. Omg, I'm like Taylor Swift dropping a million remixes for Anti-Hero-

anyways, i tried to reference the song above, but i feel like i failed to. i don't even know what i was trying to do here, but at least it turned out okay. this is not the first time i've done so lol.

i do this because to me it's like a challenge of writing something slightly far from my comfort zone and write something new, but true to the original. it's interesting because i get to study the song and what formula is used. a song is never just a song; it's so much more.

'young girls' by bruno mars is literally one of my all-time favorite songs ever and you have no idea how many times i've listened to it on loop! this one really holds a special place in my heart because i actually remember it being played on the radio when i was only 6. i don't know how i remember it, since it was only a promotional single and sadly never received a music video. it's literally the best song on the album imo.

it's not just the nostalgia, but the production, lyrics, overall vibe, which is just so addictive. it's so funny how when i heard this song for the first time in 10 years, the déjà vu struck hard. it's an amazing song and i love it :)

OK, ON TO A LITTLE SONG I WROTE INSPIRED BY IT-

1ST VERSE:

days go by, but the scar of you stays

2 am and here i am

all night through, the thought of you

and only you remains

it's like i'm talking to the moon

except we don't shine as vibrant

all these reminders of our past love

déjà vu doesn't seem to be enough

drifting off, cause it's not as it was

time never fails to disappoint

 like your broken promises

that once filled my empty void

hey, is it tomorrow yet?

PRE-CHORUS:

it's a road i tell myself i shouldn't take

once i do, it's the dead end of all mistakes

next time i'll try and maneuver through the freeway

CHORUS:

love don't exist under circumstances like these

love don't exist, or at least it's what i want to believe

love don't exist during times like these

i inhaled you in, yet failed to breathe

love don't exist if you're happier with her

love don't exist when it's not my september

love don't exist, oh no no

2ND VERSE:

it's always playback and rewind

as the lights of dawn always seem to blind

what about our bond, huh?

you know, the one you swore we had

i can't face this and i can't face you

cause after all this time

you have the audacity to run and hide

from all that we built

you're nothing like i remember

i guess a hazing july summer

is nothing like our fallen september

it isn't, is it?

forever collapsed to never be whole again

PRE-CHORUS:

it's a road i tell myself i shouldn't take

cause once i do, it's the dead end of all mistakes

next time i'll try and maneuver through the freeway

CHORUS:

love don't exist under circumstances like these

love don't exist, or at least that's what i choose to believe

love don't exist during times like these

i inhaled you in yet failed to breathe

love don't exist if you're happier with her

love don't exist when it's not my september

love don't exist, oh no no

BRIDGE:

lost in the seven seas, searching for something that's true

searching for something that doesn't compel and illuse in a tint of blue

searching for someone who's not you

lost in your radiant eyes, lost in my vacant lies

i've lost myself in the process

i thought this is what i wanted

the simple life is anything unlike mine

you. you're the problem

the only one i'm not smart enough to solve

and all because i want to go back

i want to come back to you ( you, yes you )

can i come back to you?

CHORUS:

love don't exist under circumstances like these

love don't exist, or at least that's what i choose to believe

love don't exist during times like these

i inhaled you in yet failed to breathe

love don't exist if you're happier with her

love don't exist when it's not my september

love don't exist, oh no no

OUTRO:love don't exist, no no, it don't ( ×3 )
