One-Way World

Nirina

Chorus:
It’s all just a one-way world,
Always telling us what to do
And where to go.
I just want to live in my own little world,
Seeing what I want,
Going where I feel is me.
But it’s still a one-way world to you,
So I have to live like that too.

Verse 1
You look through one eye, and see that outside.
Caught up in the rules
And those tearful pools,
Of which I’ve cried,
No longer exist, to you.
You tell me you’re too busy, to look me in the eye.
You don’t care anymore if I cry.
But I still do, every day.
Hoping that you’d look up one day,
Hoping sometime, you’ll see the world
My way. Coz I do…

Repeat Chorus

One-way,
No way,
What way?

Verse 2
When I try to talk to you,
You look away.
I know you’re still there,
Trapped inside, longing to reach out today.
I’ve tried to pull you out, but you drown deeper and deeper,
Into that world of doubt,
Were you pout, and cry,
And fall steeper and steeper,
And soon I’ll lose you and you’ll die…

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
But then you lash out,
This one-way world’s not your desire.
It’s all too hard, but still your soul’s been scarred,
Yet you wanna fly higher.
You want to get out, and close to me again,
But your world spoils that moment,
They’ve cut your wings, and let you fall.
They’ve held you down so long you can’t let go,
And now you’re down there again,
In your one-way world,
Feeling hopeless and small…

Repeat Chorus Twice

One-way,
No way,
What way?

So..um, what y'all think?

But I still do, every day.
Hoping that you’d look up one day,

Those lines are very out of sync because you have the word "day" at the end of both consecutive lines and the fact that rhytmically the first line is terrible and i have to pause to read it. Besides that though everything seems to be ok.
