You Were My World

Written: July 16th, 22nd and 28th, 2022

Genre: Pop Ballad

A/N: I have no idea what to say about this song cause I have no idea why I wrote it in the first place or what was the inspiration for it anyways. I think it's the sad sequel to this silly song I wrote when I was 13 called "My World" which is btw the title to my first songbook posted on wattpad. I'm re-reading it rn and wow... that is just wow. Guess I've always thought love is embarrassing as hell despite being a hopeless romantic. iNtErEsTiNg. Also, 13 y/o me on wp was so annoying, I cringe. What was I even doing?-

INTRO/CHORUS:

you were my world 'til it fell apart

you didn't even bother to hold me in your arms

or asked if i was alright

you broadly assumed i was fine... really, was i?

1ST VERSE:

you weren't my world

but actually my cognitive distance

that i needed to run from

loving you corrupted in fines

that i couldn't afford to pay off

so instead i vandalized all sane thoughts

when it came to my sufficient state of mind

i deceived myself, swearing you were the one

i cared too deeply; fell right into your charm

and that's how you broke my heart

CHORUS:

you were my world 'til it fell apart

you didn't even bother to hold me in your arms

or asked if i was alright

you broadly assumed i was fine... really, was i?

you were my world until the orbit eclipsed

and i realized how many opportunities i had missed

and all because you held me back

you weren't my world after all

2ND VERSE:

is it too late for you to make things right?

let me ask you this:

is it too late to bring a deceased person back to life?

the life you sucked right out of her?

only to discard her the second it doesn't work

my god, you really have no clue how bad that hurts

you know, i hope you get what you deserve

with that in mind, you don't get a goodbye

from the only girl you've every really known

CHORUS:

you were my world 'til it fell apart

you didn't even bother to hold me in your arms

or asked if i was alright

you broadly assumed i was fine... really, was i?

you were my world until the orbit eclipsed

and i realized how many opportunities i had missed

and all because you held me back

you weren't my world after all

BRIDGE:

you were my world, 'til you let go

i've learned now how the real world works now

you truly were downtown; the town that brought me down

soft and slow, you took advantage

little did i know, you'd be sly to vanish

a vicious obstacle course i can't skate my way through

i really thought i knew you

until the remorse in your eyes twitched

oh, how could i think you were any different?

from every other guy that diminished

no, you were never any different

OUTRO:

you were my world til it fell apart

you were my world until the orbit eclipsed

and i realized how many opportunities i had missed

and all because you held me back

you weren't my world after all
