The song I would like you to have a look at at the link below starts at 3:59 and ends at 8:09.

The bridge is very wordy and long, I'm aware of that, but I wanted to convey the sheer anxiety a situation like this can bring about and I tried to transport the listener to that place of fear and hurt by using lots of fast-paced lines.

I will paste the lyrics below:

(verse)

If this is what you want

I will leave you to it

if this is where you want to go

then by all means lead the way

if our love is in the basement

leave the boxes there

I’ll descend for my replacement

cut my losses, you won’t care

(pre-chorus)

if you were scared of my response

maybe you shouldn’t have done it

if you were scared of what I’d say

maybe the area was not that grey

(chorus)

you kissed someone

it wasn’t me

I’m still down here celebrating miserably

if I kissed someone, and it wasn’t you

would you be in the stands or would you hate me, too

(verse)

I’m meeting people here

I’m having conversations

and the one thing that alarms me most

is the crowd of green flags waving

all of a sudden now I understand

I don’t have to crave starvation

while I was packing up my bag

you found a novel destination

(chorus)

because you kissed someone

it wasn’t me

I am down here watching us fuck this up from overseas

If I kissed someone

and it wasn’t you

tell me would you be okay with that

or would you stop missing me, too

(bridge)

I dare you to tell me now, be honest

were you ever truly scared of my response

in my mind you were out there, you were mostly having fun

in a club in a country where i have never gone

with a girl that you talked to, you twirled her around

and you took a piece with you from the treasure that you found

on a night that you were lonely and you had too much to drink

what were you thinking, what were you thinking

you didn’t even dare to tell me no you tried to let me guess

if you want to play these silly games, that’s fine just be my guest

because I know I am the one who told you ‘do it I’ll be fine’

but I could not predict the aftermath of an uncommitted crime

when I was sitting here alone in my room in an apartment

with two fucking roommates I could barely even talk with

in a country full of spiders I am an arachnophobe

I just wish you hadn’t done so I could still have some hope

(outro)

for a future with us, but now it’s just me

and I will have to be okay with the fact that I am free

because you kissed someone

and she wasn’t me

she wasn’t me

she wasn’t me

she wasn’t me

it wasn’t me

Thank you so much for the great course!
