New Song in the Making!

Yes, it's true! I've finally written another song (the last song I wrote was finished almost a year ago). I'm pretty pleased with the lyrics, the music, and most of the melody; however, I'm still trying to fix the melody in the chorus (I have a melody, but I'm not 100% satisfied). Anyway, the lyrics are below. Let me know what you think.

Paint A Picture

Something inside of me
Tells me I want to be
There for you.
But you keep pushing me away
Far from you everyday.
What did I do?

These fragments and pieces
Of your puzzled story
Won't show me the picture
Of your memory.
This faded-out Kodak
Of your colored life
Won't show me the picture
Of your pain and strife.
So I go away.
So I fade away.

Where's the fairy-tale ending
You hoped for and dreamed of
So long ago?
Is this broken-heart mending?
Let me know.

I can hear you;
Your cries don't go unheard.
Let me wipe away those tears.
Put an end to all your fears.
Paint a picture of your own
Of a hope that you can hold
In your heart.

Don't waste your life sulking
Behind sheltered doors.
There's a beautiful world
And it all can be yours.
So forget your past problems;
Your life starts today.
There's a beautiful sunrise
And it's comin' your way.
So let's go away.
So let's fade away.

Here's the fairy-tale ending
You hoped for and dreamed of
So long ago.
Your broken heart's mending.
Did you know?

I can hear you;
Your cries don't go unheard.
Let me wipe away those tears.
Put and end to all of your fears.
Paint a picture of your own
Of a hope that you can hold
In your heart.

Tus amigos te sostienen,
Y te saludarán
De nuevo con corazones
Fervientes
Y manos amistosas.

*Note: The last verse is actually a scripture in Spanish: D&C 121:9, which reads, "Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands."
