[intro]
[verse 1]
You can give me hell, then kiss my eyes,
cook my favourite, as a surprise.
Blame me, when it all goes wrong,
be my muse, when I write this song.
[verse 2]
How can someone rile me so,
an' cause me pain, the second you go.
Feel joy when you come in the door
leave me cryin' out for more.
[chorus]
With or without you, I go through hell,
can't seem to find, that common ground.
Build bridges just to watch 'em burn,
some point, wouldn't you think we'd learn.
[verse 3]
The worst, it'd be somethin' that I'd miss,
your best, would have to be that kiss.
We go at it like hammer an' tongs,
hours in bed, just rightin' those wrongs.
[chorus]
With or without you, I go through hell,
can't seem to find, that common ground.
Build bridges just to watch 'em burn,
some point, wouldn't you think we'd learn.
[bridge]
So many faults, ones you can't live without,
fears, screams an' tears, they're all part of us
A backdrop to the parts, on a stage we play,
Drama of a love story, we act out every day.
[chorus]
With or without you, I go through hell,
can't seem to find, that common ground.
Build bridges just to watch 'em burn,
some point, wouldn't you think we'd learn.
[outro]
Tied with a Gordian Knot, we will never part,
Joined at the hip, embraced at the heart.

No worries Nick, glad to help.
In short, Ai takes a prompt and turns it into composites of a song, lyrics, instrumental, music and vocals.
A prompt is a basic description of what you are looking for, e.g. A heartbreaking song about the loss of a family dog, Country & Western, Americana, Red Dirt, Female vocal, country, midbeat, steel guitar, fiddle, bass, drums. You select the composite option, in my case, just music and vocals as I wrote and supplied the lyrics. Ai then processes the request based on your prompt and comparable music and vocals in its database. The app creates two outputs for you to choose from, you can select one you like or run it again and repeat. You can fine tune your prompts to get a better output, (in theory).
In reality, there is currently a great deal of randomness built into the system, and this is reflected in the quality of the output. Each run costs you credits which you get each month via subsciption or much less on a free option.
Some people use hundreds of credits in an effort to get the ideal output, I don't. I only use Ai as a tool to help people understand the lyrics better and for me to improve my writing, I normally spend 30-40 minutes on the Ai side of things and go with the best I have at the end of that time!
Hope that helps, if you have an interest, go to General Discussion/Ai Issues under my name, very popular thread with a sarcastic slant on the two most popular Ai apps.
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

P.S. From day 1 of using Ai, I have asked people not to comment on the Ai component of my songs, my input is minimal and the output too random to take any form of credit for it. I do however, take responsibility for selecting the option which is eventually married to the lyrics.

Great story Sid. Beautiful love song. I have to believe you have personal experience with some of these stories you write.

I have drawn on many of my own experiences for most of my songs, true. A lot are borne out of simple observation, and everyday interactions, not necessarily relationships.

I like the theme here, the "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" vibe, there's far less songs out there coming from this angle.
And it maintains a light enough mood to carry it off.
My favorite lines are:
"Build bridges just to watch 'em burn"
and
"Tied with a Gordian Knot, we will never part"

Can't live with 'em, and can't stand it without 'em!! I just typed that and then I looked up and saw that Owen had beaten me to it!!
Let's just say I can very much relate to these words!! 'Hammer an' tongs'..there's an old expression.
Good stuff Sid.

Truly a great love song. The way you got the ai to emote the feelings you captured in the lyrics is great and your choice of the piano being the main musical focus was perfect for the song. It is a well written piece and my favorite was as others mentioned, 'building bridges just to watch them burn, some point wouldn't you think we'd learn'. It's a powerful line to a powerful song.
Well done man!
