I'm going to have to disagree with Sing4me88; I had a much different experience reading this. Please forgive me for the length, when I find a lyric that strikes me I tend to end up with a lot of thoughts about it. Also, there isn't any real reason to believe any of what I say, I'm just some random guy on the internet. I hope you get something useful out of my ramblings though.
The lyrics aren't particularly engaging for me, they feel very vague, very generic, and too safe(often cliche). Don't be afraid to come right out and be blunt and honest. You don't do that and I'm left wondering what exactly is your point? What is the message here? What are you trying to say in this song? I'm not sure it is effectively expressed. At least not for me. The message should be quite clear in the chorus and supported by the verses. But i'm not seeing that. The chorus asks a question but I don't really know why it's a question worth asking.
For example:
"But you hurt me,
So so bad,"
"Are you sure what you're doing is right,"
"We may want to
But we can't change the past,"
Obviously something happened, perhaps the source of this conflict? Yet you give no indication about what it was. Why should anyone care about the speaker when there are no details to engage or identify with? Why should we even be on your side? Maybe you're the problem? This is where the verse needs to explain and support your chorus. Explain why the question in the chorus is worth asking and make me care why you are asking it. While I might empathize with these feelings of confusion or doubt or fear in a vague way, without details, it's hard to really care. Details matter, they give context, texture, they invoke the senses and help tie feelings to a listener's own experiences, thus making it meaningful. There are no details in this, no locations, weather, colors, sounds, textures, objects or even names; even the action descriptions are super vague. For example:
"Now I'm searching,
For the life we had"
I don't know what that life was and you never really explain it. Maybe it's just another generic love affair? Why should I care that you're searching for it? If I KNEW what it was, what it meant, then maybe I could empathize and THEN I could really care.
Song Lyrics don't really have a lot of time to tell a story or explain things. Getting straight to the point by not being vague or elusive is often a better bet. Because of this, sticking to ONE main theme works well. This song should have a point, one solid message, one feeling. That point should be the chorus and be clearly expressed, emphasized by the verses for context and details. It's like you're trying to tell us something without actually having to say it. You're simply dancing around it and hoping we'll just get it. I don't.
That being said, I wouldn't post just to be mean. I found several interesting ideas in this song and I hope perhaps you take them and explore them into the focus of a song on their own.
"Faking smiles is all we know
But sometimes mine are real"
Right away this is a great theme. I don't know why this is the situation but I can speculate and it's gripping enough to do so. This could make a great chorus all on it's own as it contains a powerful theme. Plastic culture, disposable friends, shallow relationships, the burden of celebrity or social conformity, liking something you were raised you shouldn't, being a hipster(although you actually genuinely like some of it yet can't express it) are all possible song topics from this one set of lines.
"We've grown into strangers,
In each others company,"
This could be worded better but the idea is strong still. Putting "Out of" in the second line to contrast the "into" of the first would work well. That kind of wordplay is catchy and helps make lyrics memorable. The contradiction of familiarity creating something unknown is what makes this line so good.
'But the silence is too loud,"
Silence being deafening is not new, but I really, really would have liked some aural description before this line. Straining to hear music, listening for the wind, searching for the right chords, anything to do with sound would befit that line much better. It's a good line but it needs a better partner.
In summation, some great lines with strong ideas but hidden within lesser words. You can do better, I urge you to try.
