You kinda love me in a fucked-up way
The way you love me I could never stay
I sorta knew that it would go this way
I never really thought you would stay
I’m just a puppet in your master plan
Had me eating out the palm of your hand
I even wanted to be your man
Nobody else could ever understand
You kinda left me in this fucked-up state
Took for granted everything I gave
If it meant something I cannot say
Our love was always doomed for the grave
You kinda want me in this fucked-up way
Even though you have no plans to stay
It’s kinda crazy how it goes this way
You love so much and then it fades away
It’s kinda funny how it goes this way
You love so much and then they never stay
You love so much and then they never stay
You love so much and then they go away
I loved you so much but you did not stay
I loved you so much but you went away
I love you so much but you would not stay
You broke my heart when you left that day
Nobody else should ever feel this pain
Nobody else should ever feel such pain

This song went from a very upbeat sounding song to more of a slow song with only four chords repeating, which reiterates the cycle of loss. It’s interesting to try writing something out of your comfort zone. Sometimes trying a different artistic medium opens your mind up to higher creative endeavors. If you can: try to do something totally different with your next piece. Thanks for reading and listening!

Different is engaging and the results are charming like this song. Touching lyrics.
Thanks a lot, Kritika! You never know when creativity will strike. Sometimes you just have to in the direction of it, even if you’re scared and have no clue what you’re really doing. Thanks again 🙂
This is very good, and sad.
Thanks, Cindy! There’s something beautiful about a sad song; and sometimes even more so than a love song.
Wow Ben…how cool you did this!! You are right of course…leaving our comfort zone and trying another medium is sometimes what we need..Very moving at the end..so raw and real and..You are my hero.. I know you are in pain, but you can be proud of this one! 🤗
Very kind of you to say, Karima. I went for it on this one, trying to be “fearless and free”. You know, your presence is always uplifting. Thanks for everything!
Great lyrics, and nice downbeat isong, loving the repetition too. great voice too heartbreaking though. 🙂
Thanks, thanks, thanks to all of it. Appreciate you taking the time. Repetition can create a trance-like state in music. There’s something to it but its a long history. Also, we’ll have to write together soon. Work out the details soon. Stay well!
So true. And sure, let’s!! Take it easy, you too 🙂
I really enjoyed reading this piece more importantly hearing it. The emotions, rhythm and the pace really captures the essence of this song and the sorrowful side of love.
Thanks, Hasan. Appreciate you taking a listen. “The sorrowful side of love” sounds like a great title for something! Hope you’re having a great week and will have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks and you too have a great weekend ahead as well!
Welcome and thanks, my friend!!!
“I’m just a puppet in your master plan
Had me eating out the palm of your hand”
This is so relatable to me! Well done as always.
Thanks a lot, Lia! 🙂 🙂
Two happy faces! Wow! That feels familiar.
🙂 🙂 🙂 Things come in threes, though. I should’ve sent you three.
Well, as long as we’re revealing “secrets,” sure; why doesn’t he.
and some of my comments have again been deleted…
Think they are all there unless I’m missing something. Thanks again. Some go to spam at times but don’t see any there. Have a great weekend!
Loved this Benjamin!!! Wow!! It was different , soft, powerful and beautifully sad in a very raw and unique way. Yayyyy to trying new things and doing it in a seamless way! Well done my friend.❤️
Thanks bunches, Grace. Your words mean so much. Creativity should be a little scary at times, but still liberating and heart-filling. ❤️
Absolutely!You are very welcome.💕
This is a very brave creative piece. I hope that by writing and trying new things you will lay the demons of a breakup to rest and find something to look forward to.
Thanks a lot! I agree breakups are very hard, especially when you feel you’ve found the “one and only”, but it’s good advice you give to look forward to a better future if possible. For many, that alone might work, but I’m sure it depends on the situation. Thanks for commenting!!!
Hang in there – you never know what tomorrow might bring.
Thanks a lot!!! Always can hope for a better tomorrow!
This is quite heartbreaking, Benjamin, I hope you will find the happiness that you so deserve.
I used different forms, from deserts to Rivers, to cities, to books to science. It is obvious that you are hurting.
Thank you.
Joanna
Thanks, Joanna. Life can be heartbreaking at times, but most times happiness comes again afterwards. I’m hurting but I’m not hurt. We all have these tiny hurts from day to day. This is just about general heartbreak that can come with love. Thanks again!
Ben, I am so proud of you for doing this! You’re not trying to be fearless and free, you are being fearless and free. I feel each line and you wrote about the emotion so palpably. And your voice…ahhhhh it’s so good! Definitely didn’t put me to sleep 😉. AMAZING! So brave and awesome of you to express your pain and then to sing it, I am so inspired! Well done, incredible Ben. You’re truly awesome, a gift to many 💚💙
Thanks a lot, Ace! It was nice being fearless and free for this one and taking a page out of your book. Haha, good it didn’t put you to sleep. Your words mean a lot to me and I’ll remember them. Have a great night! 💚💙
Wow! Nice to hear your voice. The emotion is so raw, and the anger righteous. I’m not a musician but I hear a lot of range in your voice, no?
Thanks, V.J.! Yes, I have a very big range actually can get pretty deep and pretty high, but I have no clue how use it or make it sound good enough. So: I’ll never be a singer, just will sing from time to time. Thanks again!
Never say never, my friend.
True, true. Absolutes don’t really mix with life’s journey.
Wisely said
🙂
Context is heart wrenching and you even made it work through song! Kudos to you.
❤
Thank you, Crimson. Appreciate your appreciation and you!!! ❤
It’s berries, really and truly.
Thanks. That’s like the highest compliment, I think. 💖
Is that you? Beautiful voice! Listening was heartbreaking though; the composition and cadence are so communicative and resonant – well done! (But sorry you had to have that experience.)
Yes, it’s me 100% (even without autotune or technical manipulations.) Thanks so much really for all your constant support. Have a beautiful and warm Saturday! 🙂
It was lovely to hear your song Ben! You have a lovey dovey voice! 😊
“Lovey dovey”: nice. I’ve never been told that before. I’ll remember it. Thanks, Cassa! 🙂 Hope you’re having a great weekend so far!
I’m blown way by your song, Benjamin! Seriously amazing! Your voice is very beautiful, matches your kind heart 💖, listening to you sing made me cry in a good way. I’ve found that some people are afraid to be loved, not your fault. You deserve the right one, who will see the miracle that you are. Hugs to you my friend💖🙏🌸
Oh, Judy, thanks so much! Thanks very much! Sorry for the tears but if they were good ones than that is not a bad thing, I think. You’re probably right about all you said; it’s a hard lesson to learn and realize, but the “right one”, if it is out there, will love you in the way you need to be loved.
The great thing about this community on WP is the chance to meet and connect with people like yourself. I honestly appreciate your kindness and your wealth of knowledge. Hugs back. Hope you have a great weekend! 💚
You’re very welcome, Benjamin! Your song is powerful; raw, truthful emotions always move my heart. I agree, the WP community is so cool, supportive and interesting. I hope your weekend is good too🤗❣️
Absolutely loved this !♥♥♥
Thanks, Sonali! Glad I didn’t cave into fear and decided to post this! ♥♥♥
I’m glad for that too ♥♥
Ben, I really liked the song! and especially the use of the four chords. especially how you used the cuss word with grace and where it was needed🙂
Thanks a lot, really. Alas, I’m not much for cursing but sometimes it works best for what you want to say. To “cuss with grace” seems the best way to do it 🙂 Thanks, Aarushi! I love your extra-thoughtful thoughts!
it is, and you maneuvered that fine line well Ben!!
Thanks again 🙂
This is amazing, Benjamin. I love the words but your performance is breath-taking and heart braking. Really, really well done!
Thank you, Chris! It’s exciting to see your comment. 🙂
Such a different and wonderful song..!
Thank you very kindly!!!
You’re welcome..!
YESS! This is really freaking good. 🙂
Thanks, Ali! Appreciate the feedback 🙂
Hey, Grossman.. that is one hell of an amazing voice you have. I dig the lyrics too. Simply awesome.. truly amazing this side of you. Take a bow take a bow. Can you hear the thundering applause 👏. 👍
Thanks a million times over, Yassy! Really really really means a lot. That’s special to hear. 🙂
Yay 😀 welcome hey buddy
🙂
This is very eloquently and movingly evoked 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶
A sincere thank you! It’s great to know you thought so!
You are most deservedly welcome indeed!
Thanks again!!!
❤✍
The ending☹
Raw and beautiful.
Composing is very difficult, yet you did it beautifully.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Sirishty! I appreciate you having a listen to this and commenting. And for the motivation words! 🙂
It’s my pleasure.
Take care!
I really like it
Huge THANK YOU!
You’re very welcome!
🙂
This is such a melancholic song! And you are right, trying something beyond our comfort level can lead to surprises 🙂
Thank you for listening! That’s really wonderful to hear! 🙂
My pleasure! And thanks for following my blog. Appreciate it 🙂
You’re welcome. I’ll have to check out some of your posts soon. They really look interesting!
Oh sure. Thank you Benjamin for your interest 🙂
Welcome!
A very sensitive rendering of a harsh reality. Love always has its dark side. And if it didn’t would we ever have the great art we do? A very brave and raw expression, Ben ❤
Yes, light and dark sides to everything. And sometimes they get all mixed up into each other so it’s hard to tell which is which. Yeah, you’re exactly right. So much pain has led to great art! Thanks yet again! I feel blessed that you took the time to read and listen and comment so thoughtfully. Thank you, Sunra!!! Have a great, great night and an even better Sunday!
The pleasure was all mine. I’ve neglected catching up on people’s blogs lately. Life takes over sometimes. Thank you too and have a superb weekend, my friend 🙂 ❤
You’re so right. It happens just like that. Life will always want to get in the way. But the good things will always be there for you when you return. Hope you’re get some time to relax. And always fun seeing what you create. Thanks so much!!!
