I Lied to You

Hello, again!

So it's a few days later, and so much has changed. The biggest thing is that I told my mom about my dream. The bottom line of the entire long, realistic, slightly scary (in a 'this is your future' way), and tearful (on my end) conversation - that took place, inexplicably, with me standing in the door to the closet in my bedroom - was that at the end of my college education, I had her permission to move to Nashville and pursue the country music dream if my dreams still aimed that way. I've also decided to write a letter to Taylor Swift, with two of my songs (I'm thinking 'I Didn't Know' and 'Twice Used and Once Discarded').

The next segment of the posts, as everyone knows, is the song. It is entitled 'I Lied To You,' and the story behind it is strange. Let me introduce it this way: Do you know the story behind Taylor's 'Stay Beautiful'? Apparently she saw a guy on the street whom she thought was wonderful, and was nice to her and everything, and she wrote a song about him (this is just what I heard, it may not be true). Well, this song is similar, in that I met the subject, Mark, in an elevator at my sister's dorm. Two days ago, we installed my sister into her new college dorm (she is graduating this year!) and her room was on the seventh floor, so in order to bring all the items in, we had to go up and down in the elevator. And the rest is a song.

It is quite possible that this song is the worst I have ever written. Perhaps too much information? And I should mention that I exaggerated the emotions way too much, particularly in the 8th line of the first verse and the fourth line of the chorus. The sixth line of the chorus is, unfortunately, true because I can't forgive myself for lying to him. I don't even know him! I guess this puts me off lying for life. Just don't pretend to be something you're not. It could end up hurting someone else. That's what I've learned. And if I have to write a very crappy song to learn that, so be it. Sorry you had to suffer through that one.

Much love and thank you for the musik,

NBK
