- Lyrics -

It started so sweet

The talks that we had

Where we shared all our feelings so deep

I want us to meet

I want to see you

Cause you swept me right off of my feet

We call it love

But what is love anyway

It's not love

You're just another obsession of mine

It's not love

You're just a figment inside of my mind

I don't know you

I wish I knew who you are

I thought I knew you

From all of our chats

I feel close and connected to you

You're so far away

We haven't held hands

Yet you're crying and begging to stay

There is no trust

There is no us anymore

There is no love

There is no us anymore

In chapter 4, Naomi (as the secret admirer) mentions that if she were to write a song, it would be about how everyone sees colors differently. I took this and made it about Fang and Naomi's love, despite being very different.

[verse 1, Fang]

The blue that you see

Isn't the blue that I see

Cause baby you never see

Your pretty blue eyes

I am so far behind you

You've got your life made for you

What could I possibly do

To be by your side

[chorus]

We're living different lives

Seeing from different eyes

But in the end we see

The same clear blue sky

We're skilled at different things

We're living different dreams

But we are not as far

Apart as it seems

[verse 2, Naomi]

The red that I see

Isn't the red that you see

Cause darling you never see

The fire in my heart

You are as free as the wind

Catching your wings in the wind

How could I ever begin

To even take part

[chorus]

We're living different lives

Seeing from different eyes

But in the end we see

The same clear blue sky

We're skilled at different things

We're living different dreams

But we are not as far

Apart as it seems

[bridge]

We're worlds apart

But what links us

Is what's inside our hearts

We're parallel but not so far apart

Together we are complements

We raise each other up

Together our colors blend to one

This is what started it all

Lyrics

Another love song on the radio

The sha la la la la and the woah-oo-oh

I know them all by heart, I can sing the tune

I'm just ain't got someone to sing it to

It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met

It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet

Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone

Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know

Another love song on the radio

The cheesy sounding one from long ago

The sickly sweet adjectives and loving verbs

If only there's someone who'll hear these words

It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met

It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet

Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone

Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know

It's a cheesy song, so it uses the cheesiest chord progression known to mankind.

Lyrics

I ain't got a lot

But you deserve the world

I wanna give you all I can

I am not the sun

I'm not even the moon

How can I give you what you truly deserve

Someday I will learn to play the guitar

Serenade you with love songs all day long

Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs

That I heard on the radio

If I had a brush

I'll paint you endlessly

Too bad I got no artist skills

How can I express

You mean the world to me

There's not enough words I could use

Someday I will learn to play the guitar

Serenade you with love songs all day long

Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs

That I heard on the radio

I struggle a lot with intimacy, and I often push people away if they get too close. But sometimes, that doesn't happen.

Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Felt%20This%20Way/

Lyrics

I've been running from the intimate

I've been running the love

For I am just too hurt

I've avoided all relationships

I've avoided being close

But with you I can start anew

I've not felt this way in so long

I thought that it was gone

But I found it back in you

I've not felt this way in so long

I thought I did something wrong

But everything is right with you

I thought everyone despised me

I'm avoidant and I'm cold

I've been hurt too many times

Now if anyone approached me

I would turn around and hide

But I want to be by your side

Could it be I'm not a broken person

Could it be I'm still worthy of love

I've not felt this way in so long

I thought that it was gone

But I found it back in you

I've not felt this way in so long

I thought I did something wrong

But everything is right with you

It never felt more right

But everything is right with you

This is the first time I'm trying out an orchestral style, somewhat inspired by Sinatra-era songs.

Lyrics

Do you think about the past

All the things that could have been

Every fork in the road

Every path that I chose

And the person I became

Did I make a good choice

Or was the choice just easy

If I had another chance

If I had just one more glance

Would I do it all the same

There’s a puppet master behind the curtains controlling my every move

There’s a voice inside my head that always judges what I do

Can someone give me a sign cause I don't know what to do

I raise a glass to all that made me me

Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/GVH/Don%27t%20Call%20%28piano%29/

Feeling like my life isn't my own. Kept under one minute for submission to a competition.

Lyrics

I am living life

Through someone else's eyes

This story's not my own

Never was my own

The paths that I can take

Have all been preordained

The choice was not my own

Never was my own

I am sick of what the world has thrown at me

I am breaking out, there are no rules

I got burnt out last year. Never really recovered from it.

Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Left%20Behind/

Lyrics

Left behind

Oh my god I'm struggling

I'm left behind

No one here to help me

I'm a failure and I am just left to die

Left behind

I missed my train, I've lost my way

I'm left to find

My own way to paradise

The gates to a good world are hard to find

Why can't you just do the work that everyone is doing

It's so simple so simple

Why can't you just be like all the others they don't need no help

You're lazy just lazy

Left behind

Everybody thinks that I am

Doing fine

Why won't they believe me that I'm

Trying my best not to fall behind

Left behind

Every day is tiring

Stuck in a grind

Nine to five I bide my time

Exhaustion and breakdowns come every night

No one ever asked me if I wanted to live life this way

Is there not a choice here

Why I got to work all day in order just to feed myself

Just ableist nonsense

Hanging by a single thread the future is just full of dread

I'm holding on barely

I just have to find a way to have my mind not go insane

It's just my normal life
