Just putting it out there (comments first song)

Liner Notes

Using the first three comments i wrote this song. I wrote the lyrics in like 10 minutes and had the chords immediately it's a cute little ballad about just writing the things you want to write and putting stuff out there.
I think the chorus is solid and I can clean up the intention of the verses a bit but I'm pretty happy with it.
This song is for the #CommentsFirst challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/3025). It doesn't exist yet. It will be written based on the first few comments it receives. Please leave a comment below!

Lyrics

A
I’m tired of waiting for things to be perfect
E/G#
Package up my songs in a way I can sell them
D. E
Why sell my soul for one third of a penny a stream

At the end of the day it’s my art
I’m gonna do what makes me happy
And I just want to put it out there
So I’m just gonna put it out there

So here are my feelings
Straight off my brain
Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors
That I won’t fully explain
I want the words to just flow out
Of me

G. A
Just putting it out there

G. A.
Just putting it out there

When I first thought about writing this song
I wanted to scream into the void
No literally I wanted to write a song
About screaming into the void
It’d be a whole communal screaming thing
Hey why don’t we try that now
I23

So here are my feelings
Straight off my brain
Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors
That I won’t fully explain
I want the words to just flow out
Of me
Just putting it out there
Just putting it out there

And when the world is falling apart
It’s said we turn to the artists
But what does the artist do when they’re also falling apart?
Comedy songs can only get me so far
So give me permission to be sad
To be messy
To see me

So here are my feelings
Straight off my brain
Maybe I’ll throw in some metaphors
That I won’t fully explain
I want the words to just flow out
Of me
Just putting it out there
Just putting it out there
