You Before Me (feat. MusicByJayBee) (Franc Rose Mix)

This was my attempt to write a piano-driven rock song in the style of @ben-folds-official/@ben-folds-five, who were a massive inspiration to me when I was growing up and learning to play the piano. Don't know if I succeeded, but I'm pretty pleased with the result !

It's time that we talked about you and me Oh! [Chorus 2] Keep spreading my wings but you're holding me down Tell me how can I fly if I can't leave the ground I'm all ready to go but you need me around So I keep putting you before me [Bridge] Now our history is a catastrophe just look at the mess that we've made Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy I'm tired of the games that you play I've stopped listening every time that you talk I hear the same shit every day Might look like myself but my mind's somewhere else not hearing a word that you say How did we let things get like this This isn't how they should be So everything's going to change [Chorus 3/Outro] Now this is the way things are going to be When I put myself first no more you before me It's high time that you learned to stand on your own feet find out who you can be without me Now this is the way things are going to be When I put myself first no more you before me It's high time that you learned to stand on your own feet find out who you can be without me
