About This Song


I write songs about everything. But one guy made me so crazy I couldn't.

From the debut album, "Hi" now available everywhere!

Man - I’ve become an Alyssa fan. I love this song, too. In particular, I think you have some really neat rhymes in here. I also think your production is very cool (particularly all the different guitar parts in the beginning).

The only thing I would critique is that in the verses every line ends the same way and it started to feel too repetitive. Generally, I push for more repetition, but this almost was too much. In spite of that - I think this is a really good song. I’m looking forward to listening to more of your material.

Can’t Write A Song

Written by Alyssa Trahan

I’m sitting in my room trying to write a song
And I can’t remember when it took this long
Maybe I’m stuck because of school and all the stress But that wouldn’t be my first guess
I bet you’re the reason why I can’t think straight
I knew it’d be like this since 2008
I guess I just can’t find the words to explain Everything I’m wanting to say

CHORUS
But you got me oh so confused Don’t know what to do
You have me heart
Give it back to me now
You make me feel
Like I need to go to therapy This has never happened
I can’t even write a song

It’s getting late and I’m feeling pretty tired I don’t know why but I can’t get inspired
I guess I’ll just say all the time we’ve had All of the good, and all the bad
There’s way too many can’t list them all
But I guess it first started way back in the fall I first noticed your eyes and your smile
How you’d always act like a wise guy

CHORUS*
You got me oh so mixed up Don’t know what’s going on You have my heart
Give it back to me now
You make me feel
Like I’m going crazy
This has never happened
I can’t even write a song
doo doo’s

I don’t know how I let it get this far
I promised I wouldn’t let you play with my heart I wish things were different but now it’s too late But I’d never call this a mistake

CHORUS*
