Ananya Katiyar
Song- POP

[Verse 1]
You were different than the way I thought you would turn out to be
Couldn’t be that forever friend that you had to be (ha)

[Verse 2]
Heard you laughing in the corridors without me
Wondering who that could be

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought you were a friend like me
But you are rising above (huh)
Leaving me below
You just act different when I am around
These voices are too loud
Shouting in my head
Saying that you left
And turned into a

[Chorus]

DOUBLE SIDED FRIEND (oh no no no)
Those fake smiles you pretend (no no no)
(oh) You DOUBLE SIDED FRIEND

[Verse 3]
Those movie nights you canceled in rows
Just to hang out with that girl Willow

[Verse 4]

Did you have fun bingeing Stranger Things with her? (yeah)
All our memories are a blur

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought you were a friend like me
But you are rising above (huh)
Leaving me below
You just act different when I am around (you sure do)
These voices are too loud
Shouting in my head
Saying that you left
And turned into a

[Chorus]
DOUBLE SIDED FRIEND (oh no no no)
Those fake smiles you pretend (no no no)
(oh) You DOUBLE SIDED FRIEND (double sided friend)

[Outro]
But you are slipping away
Slipping away
Slipping away (ayy)
But I’ll try to catch you (anyway)
Thank you for your time! ☺

Song

Sadaf
Class 5
Gitanjali Vedika School
(Budding Writer attending Takhte’s Creative Writing Sessions)

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 1
Sunlight shines on morning dew,
A fresh day and a hopeful hue.
Let’s leave behind the darkness of night,
And step into the morning bright.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 2
Mistakes are made; Doubts may come up,
But let’s rise above to blow it up.
With every sunrise being a new start,
A fresh beginning with a new heart.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 3
Learn from the lesson and let go of the pain,
Make sure it doesn’t happen again and again.
It’s a fresh day, and a new hope is born,
A brighter tomorrow, in a brand-new morn.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away…
