best life by Paula Varela published on 2022-03-23T02:59:37Z welcome to another episode of writing songs inspired by Turkish soap operas. lyrics: I was standing there with my hopes up, just a little girl who got let down, a tear-stained dress on the bed. And I hoped that you'll never get the nerve to come back, play the victim card oh my god, I never had the patience for it. save it for when you cried as much as I did when you walked away did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe? did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again? did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep? well then, what a life, babe. What a life, babe. You were the highest bet of my night, didn't notice I lost the round till the guards dragged me out through the floor. Now I'm stuck in a crowd of "I told you so", nothing helps when I'm alone, guess that's what I get for wanting more. don't you dare come passing by and act like nothing has changed. did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe? did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again? did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep? well then, what a life, babe. What a life, babe. I guess you were walking down the street, your hand on hers but you thought of me. Cause that's the place where we used to meet, you loved the food and spilled soda on me. We laughed till we cried and we fell asleep, in the middle of winter you were warm with me. But she won't laugh or speak like me, and you're sorry but baby... did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe? did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again? did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep? well then, what a life, babe. What a life, babe. Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by James Tristan Redding Really nice melody, and super evocative lyrics. I always know I better be "ready to feel" before I click on your songs! 2022-03-28T23:50:53Z Comment by Claes I like the way you use the guitar as a percussion instrument during the verses. 2022-03-28T12:48:20Z Comment by niki s memorable and cool chorus. :) 2022-03-28T08:57:34Z
