This is a song I wrote for fun (I'm no professional, really!). This is the 4th presentable and complete song I've wrote. Enjoy!
This is a simple yet emotional song expressing how one feels after the person she used to neglect and take for granted leaves her for good. She never treasured his love, and it's too late before she realises he's gone.
This is my first song with an extra verse. I used to have only 2 choruses and 2 verses, so it's pretty much a breakthrough. And though I challenged myself to write a love song without the word "love" (I thought I succeeded at first), I realised I added it in without realising. xD And I'm not going to change it because it spoils the whole song, so here it is.
This is also the first time I'm composing without any melody. Usually I think of a melody and then I fit the words in, but this time I tried something different. Hope it works! :)

English VersionAs the sun goes down
I pen my thoughts in my diary
Turning to the previous page
I wish it had never happened
My tears fill the page
I used to blame you for spoiling me
It’s only after you left me
I realised I can blame only myself for the emptiness in my heart
I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory
I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me
I cry to myself It’s all too late
I will never get another chance to say
You’re My Everything
I listen to sorrowful ballads
And in my heart I compose one myself
How I wish you can get hear it
And understand the reason for my heartbreak
I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory
I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me
And I realised it’s too late to bring love back
