So I wrote a song...

Someone told me once that words have the power to change how people think...how they feel. And I guess if everyone has access to words that hold that kind of power, they should be used for some kind of good. So I started writing songs on the days that weren't so good, hoping that maybe I could use my own words to change how I felt....

"Hell No" is a song that relates to relationship abuse. It doesn't have to be physical, doesn't have to be emotional. But I think everyone's been in a relationship that beats them up mentally...

"Hell No"
Jenna Nelson

I’m two steps behind amazing grace.
Fell one time too hard and I’m still here.
I’ll stand again, but I’m stuck in this place.
Said goodbye to my faith and hello to this fear.

‘Cuz that’s the night you took my wings.
That’s when I handed in my halo.
Stepped down from grace, now I can’t sing.
If this is what it takes to be an angel,
Here’s all I have, here’s a hell no.

Fallen angel, maybe. Or maybe not one at all.
Guess I’d rather stand than fly.
At least now I’m standing tall
You won’t find me here, not after this goodbye.

‘Cuz that’s the night you took my wings.
That’s when I handed in my halo.
Stepped down from grace, now I can’t sing.
If this is what it takes to be an angel,
Here’s all I have, here’s a hell no.

Try to find me between your best and regrets.
The verge of tears is all I recognize
Thought heaven made me, but I can’t forget
The halo, the wings were only a disguise.

‘Cuz you had to have my wings.
And I had to hand in my halo.
Chose to step down from grace, choosing not to sing.
Don’t wanna be an angel like this.
Here’s everything I owe you. Here’s a hell no.
