Lost In Havasu - a Song Dedicated To Shawn Mendes

I can’t take anymore of this… I wish you had mercifulness… Tension slits me like a knife… All my life...all my life...all my life... Don’t let go and stay close to me (I’m wanting you oh so badly) I know I look like a disaster today, but I can’t get enough of you Hopelessly losing focus painfully (young and longing to be free) My heart is always so broken, but I pray I won’t be lost in Havasu Off, my mind has been off tonight… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Then, on, my mind turns on tonight… I fell in love with the wrong person… I fell in love with the moonlit sun… Hurting like an expert… I am going under the surface Hurting, needing comfort Shaking...kissing the abyss Left me in stitches like my shirt… I am dead inside, for I need your happiness Begging you not to get me hurt Adrenalin dried me up in utter sadness… Don’t leave me behind… I hope you don’t mind… That I leave behind my mind… It’s been bewildered for years… Don’t leave me behind… I hope you don’t mind… I believe I’ve been held back and so blind I grieve behind closed doors in tears… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Then, on, my mind turns on tonight… I fell in love with the wrong person… I fell in love with the moonlit sun… Hurting like an expert… I am going under the surface Hurting, needing comfort Shaking...kissing the abyss Left me in stitches like my shirt… I am dead inside, for I need your happiness Begging you not to get me hurt Adrenalin dried me up in utter sadness… I zone out… Alone no doubt… Conflicted by rejection I need to take another direction That doesn’t involve heartache Or the fact that I’m about to break Is it too late to say goodbye? No lie...I am feeling denied Conflicted by rejection Alone no doubt… I zone out… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Then, on, my mind turns on tonight… I fell in love with the wrong person… I fell in love with the moonlit sun… Hurting like an expert… I am going under the surface Hurting, needing comfort Shaking...kissing the abyss Left me in stitches like my shirt… I am dead inside, for I need your happiness Begging you not to get me hurt Adrenalin dried me up in utter sadness… Emptiness - does it solve all my issues? Distress - how can I stop singing the blues? So lost in Havasu...so lost in Havasu… I am feeling so blue...who knew I’d be this...blue… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Off, my mind has been off tonight… Then, on, my mind turns on tonight… I fell in love with the wrong person… I fell in love with the moonlit sun… Hurting like an expert… I am going under the surface Hurting, needing comfort Shaking...kissing the abyss Left me in stitches like my shirt… I am dead inside, for I need your happiness Begging you not to get me hurt Adrenalin dried me up in utter sadness… Stressed out No doubt Nervouscited Naked and ashamed Stressed out No doubt Nervouscited Shaken, no longer tamed Scary that you walked away from me so soon (before the afternoon) Nobody’s there, so I don’t care if I’m with or without my baby Sorry that you couldn’t reap what you sow in a blue moon (before I get off tune) Baby, I’m sorry, but not sorry and I’m so lost in Havasu, honey Honey… Honey... ~ Dedicated by the songs of Shawn Mendes. :) I listened to a large selection of his songs and I depicted what kind of words I should use for his songs - hopefully, one day, he figures out that I wrote a song dedicated to him. That would be awesome. My artist/stage name is Dave Will Breid if you want to check out some of my other songs, which is only two in the making so far. I am David William Breidenthal or Dave Will Breidenthal on Facebook and if you want to add me on there, that’s fine with me. You can always follow me on my writing journey via Facebook in a group called J.W. Earnings. My songs are on spotify, iHeartradio, amazon music, etc. If you are interested in my older songs, then please follow me! Thank you. :) I hope you all had a restful and delightful weekend. Oh, and by the way, forgot to mention - I will be doing more solos in the future without music (known as a cappella) because I’m better at that than relying on beats and playing the piano while singing. Maybe (someday) I will have someone play the piano for me, but for now, I will do a cappella.
