Reads like a suicide to me except that the chorus does not support this interpretation ("let love show", "free to follow her heart and let life grow").
The tenses look fine to me (non-native, but normally rather overcritical with respect to tenses).
The bridge - 'middle eight' - reads and 'sounds' like yet another verse. I presents similar additional content - the threatening guy that she is fleeing from - and uses the same rhyme pattern. Normally, a bridge should have a different melody and preferably use a different rhyme structure as well. Also, it lyric-wise should add some new aspect.
The expression ".. pushed and he shoved" is repeated (= presents nothing new).
I actually would rewrite V3, V4 and B1 to get just two VERSES, and rewrite V5 to make it a BRIDGE, I'd also consider modifying the chorus (e.g. saying "so she would be free..." in the first chorus, versus "and she was free..." in the last). Last not least there could well be three choruses (the last one after the bridge with NO preceding verses).
The resulting structure then could be: V V C V V C B C
