‘Rate Limit Exceeded’ — lyrics to a pop ballad

Rate Limit Exceeded
lyrics by Shelt Garner

Please give credit if you produce or perform

you have no limits but this one
you’re not going any further
don’t express yourself one more bit
if you don’t want to be in the shit
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

it’s one or the other
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
in the end you’re just not
going to get laid
but your rate limit will exceed
in ways you can not
so why not just let it drop
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

(bridge)
you have limits
do as you like
it will cause you
no end of delight
but in the end,
we all have to accept our sin

because you’ve exeeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

‘You Don’t Have To Leave’ — #lyrics to a #Pop #rock #ballad

‘you don’t have to leave’
written by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

I want to believe
that you don’t have to leave
here we are face to face
fighting through this disgrace
in the end no matter what
you don’t have to flee
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

I want you in my face
a kiss would be great
but just a sneer would suffice
if that’s in the dice
you’re all I hope
and can expect
just in the end
don’t grin on your way out the door

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

(bridge)
the booze is too much
stay another night
’cause no matter what
we’re in it to win it
that I believe
no matter what
the outside may believe

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

‘Every Lie Is True’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

“Every Lie Is True”
Please credit @sheltgarner

every lie is true
when you’re in love

there’s nothing you can do
to change the course of fate
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

can’t say it enough
I know you like it rough
but loving you ain’t easy
when every lie is the truth

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

let’s skip to the part
where we make love in the dark
having you by my side
just makes me sigh
and remember that

(bridge)
the facts are the facts
and that’s no sass
I look you in the eye
knowing it’s all a lie
it’ll all come to an end
but I’m willing to sin
when every lie is true
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

‘Back To Me’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Back To Me
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
but I do
I do
you were my everything for a moment
in time and now you flee

what can I say
what can I do
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me

nothing is the same
I fear
since you bid me adieu
threw my heart into the sea
despite my best efforts to beg
for a repeat

what can I say
what can I do
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me

(bridge)
close as can be
there’s nothing more you can say
to me
I have to accept
that this is the end
no more love to be found
I’m down on the ground

what can I say
what can I do
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me
to bring you back to me

‘I Drink Whiskey’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Here you go. I’m drunk enough that I find myself writing lyrics as a form of mental masturbation.

I Drink Whiskey
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t know what to tell you
when the mood strikes me
it can be sublime
I don’t drink wine
nor whine if I drink beer
but in a pinch no matter what
I always drink whiskey

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

my mind is racing
thinking of you naked
maybe if you drink with me
we’ll have a tumble between the sheets
something we’ll both regret
who knows though
a baby may come of it

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

(bridge)
I try to stay sober
I really do no matter what
but when you leer at me
and say you’re feeling saucy
I know what will cause some audacity

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

‘A Constant Companion’ — #lyrics to a #pop #ballad

A Constant Companion
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

never can forget you
even if I wanted to
you are always by my side
and within me
people may come and go
but you’re my
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion

you fade but never leave
make me think I can do as I please
but you come roaring back
leave me flat on my back
from the pain left by desire
but you’re my
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion

(bridge)
all alone I moan
you’re gone I’m sure
leaving me when my heartache
then you return telling me
it was all a fake

the doctors just say its in my head
something to live with
to experience in the end
no matter how much chagrin
but you’re my
constant companion
constant companion
constant companion

a constant companion
a constant companion
a constant companion
a constant companion

‘Terribly Negative Person’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Terribly Negative Person
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t call me bitter
I’m not your babysitter
people come and go in your life
isn’t it a sight
you have the gall to say
to my dismaay
that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

I’m not what you think
I swear, I swear
I’m not a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

I might bet a bit better
but you would be too
if you had your heart broken
by someone like you
but you’re cruel in the extreme
to scream that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

(bridge)
I remember when I had hope
and love did not seem on the ropes
but you came into my life
now I don’t know what is a lie
and what is true

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

I’m not what you think
I swear, I swear
I’m not a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

I might bet a bit better
but you would be too
if you had your heart broken
by someone like you
but you’re cruel in the extreme
to scream that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

‘Unwanted Hugs’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

I’m really proud of this one.

Unwanted Hugs
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the break up was a year ago
we’re no longer a thing
in the end it was all a game
but what can I say I still
look forward to seeing you and the
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

if it wasn’t for unwanted hugs
what would we have
if it was’t for unwanted hugs
our relationship would be dead

here come close
close enough to smell
I need one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

people claim we made a cute couple
maybe we did I don’t know
but all I know is how you feel
when I go in for one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

if it wasn’t for unwanted hugs
what would we have
if it was’t for unwanted hugs
our relationship would be dead

here come close
close enough to smell
I need one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

(bridge)
when the hugs were wanted
and things were going well
things were just so swell
but that was a long, long time ago
now all I’ve got are

unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

‘Don’t Look Back’ – #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Don’t Look Back
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

keep your eyes on the prize
if you look back
you’ll taste salt
the bitterness will get you
and you’ll just be a pile
of guilt in the sand

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

in my dreams it’s all fixed
your love returns in a second
then I awake and have a drink
guilt for what could have been
is going to kill me in the end

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

(bridge)
the focus on the present
knowing that’s the right way to be
but my grief arises from soul
overcomes me yet again
and again and again

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

‘Delusional’ — #Lyrics to a #Pop #Rock #Ballad

Delusional
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

I have a lot of dreams
may come across as a jerk
but I mean well in my heart
yet that doesn’t stop her from saying
that I’m a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

we yell and fight maybe even bite
she wonders aloud if we’re still in love
all I can say is I hope so bitch
she looks at me and cries
you’ll never again be between my thighs
because you’re a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

(bridge)
it once was not like this
I was centered and she was sober
we loved each other in the real world
not just in my dreams
but that’s all over now and I’m just

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart
