Song Lyrics For Collaboration: A Song about Falling for Someone New / Falling in Love Again
Below are the lyrics I have written for a song about falling in love again. It is an unexpected love - the character in the song has turned to a friend for company after the break-up of another relationship. The two friends have known one another for a long time and their relationship has always been platonic. However, on this occasion, there is a new attraction between the two of them. Perhaps it is a look as their eyes lock, or something different in the way they speak. It is an uncontrollable attraction - unwanted, particularly in the circumstances. It seems to come from nowhere as is so often the case with love. Such an attraction is hard to deny and there are feelings of helplessness and a sense of falling back to the same place instead of regaining control.
This song needs a collaborator for the music.
Someone to Listen
You and I in a cafe
I thought I'd never love again
All I wanted was a coffee
I was just looking for a friend
You were there to mend a broken heart
There to stop me falling apart
Someone to listen, just somebody there
Didn't want you to matter, didn't want you to care
Not like that, not right then...
I didn't know, didn't know
That I'd feel the way I do
Somehow you reached that part of me
I thought I'd hidden from view
Something in your voice
That look inside your eye
Drowned me against my will
I looked away, didn't want to die
I didn't want to die again
I was only looking for a friend
A friend to mend a broken heart
A friend to stop me falling apart
Someone to listen, just somebody there
Didn't want you to matter, didn't want you to care
You touched me, pulled me further
To a place I'd never been
I didn't know what love was
Until fate intervened
Why did you take me then?
You'd known me for years
You jumped in on my weakness
How did you even dare?
You were there to mend a broken heart
There to stop me falling apart
Someone to listen, just somebody there
Didn't want you to matter, didn't want you to care
Not like that, not right then
I know I'm falling so fast
Want to stop but don't know how
Don't wanna slide down that slope again
But I can't stop myself now
Oh no
I'm falling too far, too fast, too deep
Will I ever get up again
I can't hold on
Can't hold on
Just sliding further down
You were there to mend a broken heart
There to stop me falling apart
Someone to listen, just somebody there
Didn't want you to matter, didn't want you to care
You were there to mend a broken heart
There to stop me falling apart
Someone to listen, just somebody there
Didn't want to matter, didn't want you to care
