The Girl With Lips Of An Angel

Do I, Do I not?

Kaitlyn

Whenever I wasn’t with either Liam or Zayn, mostly Zayn, I was at Hayley’s playing around with her instruments. I was in the midst of writing a song about a few different situations in my life. One, was a song that Hayley had asked me to compose for her about her sister. I was a little hesitant at first, but agreed nonetheless. The second is a song for me. It tells the words that I cannot freely say out loud.

It was really hard thinking about a song to write for Hayley. I had to be very cautious with what I wrote. If it was too detailed and personal, though, if it was glazed over too much, it may not represent her sister the way she wanted.

I have been sitting at Hayley’s grand piano for three hours now, treading very carefully when I write lyrics down on the pieces of manuscript. I dabble around, playing with the keys, when I think of a perfect phrase.

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by...

...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?

I've had just enough time

I play a few cords here and there, writing them down on the manuscript, for at least another hour and a half now. Though, I finally have a whole song.

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours, oh,

And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by...

...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done
