Here's one I wrote around two years ago and found it another book in which I've written my songs. At the top is an edit of the chorus that I made back when I'd freshly written the song.

I based this off a real situation...

(Clouds) Cry with Me:

Verse- 1:

I sit here wishing I hadn't done it

I wish I hadn't lost my temper

I wish I hadn't lashed out at him

'Cause it sure wasn't his fault

Pre-chorus-1:

I shouldn't have been so gullible

I shouldn't have jumped at the bait

I should have kept my cool and smiled

And capped the turbulence in me

Chorus:

And now the clouds cry with me

Sorrowful of their burden

Just as I am now

Oh, I wish it hadn't been so

Verse-2:

The look in his eyes told me all

He was very disappointed in me

Oh, but who can blame him?

He had every right to be

Pre-chorus-2:

Now as I think over it

I deeply regret it

And though I can't

I want to take it back

Chorus:

So now the clouds cry with me

Sorrowful of their burden

Just as I am now

Oh, I wish it hadn't been so

Bridge:

I don't know how to get his trust back

I don't know how to apologize

But I sure want to

Maybe I don't deserve it

The trust, the forgiveness

But I sure regret it

Oh, can I ever make it up to him?

'Cause no matter what

There's no going back

Chorus:

Now the clouds cry with me

Sorrowful of their burden

Just as I am now

Oh, I wish it hadn't been so

Outro:

The clouds, they cry, cry with me (x2)

Oh, I wish it hadn't been so (x3)
