Self-Portrait

This is a full-body portrait from Sophmore year, and an example of where I incorporated my music lyrics. 

"You're Gonna Miss This" original

“You're Gonna Miss This”

Music and lyrics written by Emma White

Acoustic guitar and vocals: Emma White

Verse 1:

I took a chance for you, I took a shot

You said you’d never leave me well you must have forgot

You know I'm hurting, but you look away

And boy I’m sure you’d like to think I’m gonna sit around and wait

No, no, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong

No, no, no, you’ll never see another heart this strong

Chorus:

Oh, baby, don't come around here anymore

If you don't love me well then what are you good for

There must be some other way you found your happiness, but

When you're lookin' for someone to hold

You're gonna miss this

Verse 2:

Oh did you know, that I always cared

And I remember every little moment we shared

Your eyes struck me like lightning

And now in my heart there’s a fire I’m still fighting

But no, no, no, no it’s starting to die out

No, no, no, not gonna let it burn me down

Chorus

Bridge:

You had me on lockdown

I knew you had me

I just didn’t know that walkin away could be this easy

Love will always

Be a word you’ll never know

So take your lies and go

Chorus

"Fallin" original

“Fallin”

Music and lyrics written by Emma White

Acoustic guitar and vocals : Emma White

Verse 1:

We are drivin' down some old country road

And you are singin' to a song that I wrote

And I don't really know where we're goin'

But I'm perfectly fine not knowin'

Chorus:

Cuz this is the first time I've fallin' for a boy

In a pickup truck

Verse 2:

You let me drive through that big open field

And the whole time I was behind the wheel

Your laughin', yellin' for me to stop

And the sky is fading to black

You say we better be getting back

But I'm stayin' right here my dear

Chorus:

Cuz I'm fallin' for a boy

In a pickup truck

Bridge:

And I can't stop lookin' at those green eyes

When all they do is shine

And I just don't know what to do

And maybe, you will realize, baby

That you belong with me

Verse 3:

I'm sitting in the drivers seat

And your makin' a fire on the grass next to me

And suddenly you look up with those eyes

And say I've realized,

That I need you, where have you been my whole life

Cuz I'm fallin' for a girl

In a pickup truck

"When You Were Mine" original

“When You Were Mine”

Music and lyrics written by Emma White

Acoustic guitar and vocals : Emma White

Verse 1:

I'm lying awake, it's 2 AM

Why do I always have to miss you

Cuz everything that you do is beautiful

Lightning strikes through the darkness

It strikes right through my heart
But don't worry I'll be okay

I'm only falling apart

Chorus:

A country song comes on the radio

It takes me back cuz it's one we both know

And that old dirt we used to drive down

Is where I found myself

Take me back to the time

When you were mine

Verse 2:

Standin in the rain

I watched as everything changed

Let me out of this mess I'm livin in

And let me into your arms again

Chorus

Bridge:

I don't know what you see in that girl

But what we had together was the best thing in the world and

I don't regret all the times that we've had

But I'd do anything to have them back

A country song comes on the radio

It takes me back, I sing along
