I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I have exchanded the bridge so now the lyrics should make more sense. Although I like to be slightly cryptic ro ambiguous once in a while, I still aim for my lyrics to be understandable, of course, at least on an emotional level. "love to be loved" had obvioulsly gotten a bit too cryptic. Therefore I have replaced the bridge completely. I also edited the line that formerly read "feelings ... where never have been enough" that wasn't too clear either (I loved it, but I was alone there).
I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
but I cannot hate you
what was it that caused your anger
why can't we just get along
what was it that raised your fury
what was it I did wrong
you smash our dreams and friendship
you're dashing all my hopes
I feel I've lost my footing
on an endless downhill slope
in your eyes I see hatred
where I had hoped for love
or feelings that have faded
maybe there've never been enough
I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
still I cannot hate you
somehow
your love turned into boredom
and boredom into hatred
so now
it just would make no sense
if I hoped and waited
in your eyes I see hatred
where I had hoped for love
or feelings that have faded
maybe there've never been enough
I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
but I cannot hate you
