For That Guy

A song that I wrote...

This is for that guy,

This is for that guy,
That cries himself to sleep at night,
This is for that guy,

This is for that guy,
Who can't keep his pain locked up inside,
Who's too afraid to hide,
This is for that guy,

This is for that guy,
That can't keep his head held high,
Who shows his sorrow in his eyes

This is for that guy who expressed his love,
She said that she loved him back
This is for that guy who didn't know it was a lie,
Didn't know it was a lie

She played with his mind,
She played with his heat,

And now she's back,
Coming to torment once more

This is for that guy,
That cries himself to sleep at night,

Who can't keep his pain locked up inside,
Who's too afraid to hide,
This is for that guy,

That can't keep his head held high,
Who shows his sorrow in his eyes,
Can't accept the goodbyes

For the guy,
That hides alone,

Not wanting his face to be shown

This is for that guy,
Who had the girl say yes,
For that guy,
Who ended up depressed.

This is for that guy,
Who can't accept the goodbyes...

For that guy

Author's Note

There are tons of songs about guys cheating - and that chiz - on girls, but you know, girls do it to guys too. That's why I wrote this, not because I came across it in a personal experience, but because I kind of what people to be aware of that. Yeah, they probably know it, but does that change their views on anything? Not really, no.

I'm not saying I'm trying to change what you believe in, I'm just saying that people should know...

AT LEAST READ THIS:
On a brighter note, it sounds a lot better when sung to a certain tune. My voice sounds worse than it already is recorded so I didn't upload a song thing (I also don't know how) :P Hope you liked it!

PS. I don't like the picture, but it's the only one of a guy the right age that I was picturing that looks even remotely sad. If you have a better one please feel free to send me the link in the review section. :P

Beautiful! I couldn't agree more with you on the fact that we girls cheat on guys just as much as guys cheat on us, we're just so melodramatic and attention-seeking that the poor, heartbroken guys get over-looked. Well done, your words are so expressive and thought-provoking, and when I picture it with a tune I can see it becoming a really good, well known song. :)

I really like this and it would be a great song! Your point of view is correct in that cheating/lying...etc...goes both ways and it's good to see it expressed from a guys point of view...without hatred and revenge...actually expressing emotions.

I find a lot of pictures on shutterspeed.com. They have pics for about anything you need :)

I'm a girl and I loved your poem. I know its true. Girls aren't the only ones that have broken hearts, we are just more dramatic about it and that's why us girls are more prominently known for being broken-hearted. But I know many girls that are not afraid to completely crush a guy and not care. I loved how you expressed this. It did sound like it could be a song! I think the repetition made it more convincing. Great job! :)

Beautifully written. Yeah, the female of the species aren't always sugar and spice, but it does happen. We all live and learn and painting all men or women with the same brush helps no one. Really great read.
