WINNER 2012 Judges' Award: Vanessa Murray - I don't wanna lose you like this by songwritingchallenge published on 2012-10-07T18:51:33Z THIS IS THE WINNING SONG IN THE LIVERPOOL ACOUSTIC SONGWRITING CHALLENGE 2012 AS CHOSEN BY THE JUDGES Introduction: This picture of a stone wall inspired me to write this song. The wall is a symbolizes an obstacle that prevents you from doing something and in the song I am that very obstacle, I am stopping myself from taking a step forward because I am scared of the consequences. There is something I’ve wanted to tell you But I don’t know if I should Cause I don’t know how you’ll take it I don’t know if it’s bad or good. I’ve been thinking this for a while But tried to keep these thoughts at bay This whole time I’ve lived in denial Cause I know there’s a price to paid. And if I let my guard down There’s a chance, There’s a chance That you won’t stick around. So I’ll hold my breath like I always do Yes I’ll hold my breath, I’ll hold it for you Cause you don’t wanna hear what I have to say Cause I know that it’ll just scare you away And I don’t wanna take that risk I don’t wanna lose you, Don’t wanna lose you like this. The thought of me driving you away Just chills me to the bone So it’s best to not express the things I’m feeling Cause then I won’t end up alone. And I’m sure some day I’ll be over it I will have learned to build a bridge But for now I’m just trying to convince myself That there’s nothing more I can give. And if I let my guard down There’s a chance, There’s a chance That you won’t stick around. So I’ll hold my breath like I always do Yes I’ll hold my breath, I’ll hold it for you Cause you don’t wanna hear what I have to say Cause I know that it’ll just scare you away And I don’t wanna take that risk I don’t wanna lose you, Don’t wanna lose you like this. I don’t wanna lose you, Don’t wanna lose you like this.
