Hi, these are some lyrics I've been working on for a while, there are chords to go with it, I also still have an outro to write.
Could you give me some constructive critizism? Maybe rate it out of ten?It wud help alot :)

the clock ticks, as they talk,
the grass flicks, where they walk,
time passes, they start to run,
as rain slashes, below the sun,

they run to, an old broken roof,
she smiles at him, he can barely move,
she looks at him, into his eyes,
he tries to hide, the feelings that rise,
 
because he knows,
shes not after him,she wants someone else,
they wont ever be, anything else,
so he tears away his eyes, traps his feelings deep inside,
where they will hide, always hide,

they sit and talk, rain pouring down,
rain pits and patters, a soothing sound,
minutes like seconds, hours like minutes,
Like in heaven, time feels infinite,

But now, they've got to go,
its too dark, getting too cold,
when she, looks into his eyes,
Things inside her, try to hide,

Because she know's
He's not after her, he wants someone else,
They won't ever be, anything else,
So she tries not to cry,  when he tears away his eyes,
Two tears mix and hide, with the rain outside,

Thanks for reading :)

It`s quite good,you need to look at it again though,there`s one or two phrases which read a little strange(but might not when there sung i suppose)..

The theme is unrequited love....a common story done in songs.... anyway you just need to get someone to play it .

Love, love, love this bit, it's so unbelievably original and the simile at the end...lush

I like this one. It has the melancholic Ed Sheeran feel to it  and that seems to be quite popular at the minute. Some great lines especially about grass flicking as they walk, the patter of rain being a soothing sound and my favourite about trapping feelings inside. Simple, simple words but put together in a very clever and inventive way that helps assimilate so much emotion into this song in a very natural way. :)

Right, here's my opinion, take it in if you like, there are lines that are great and lines that are not so great, mainly the ones that...sorta don't make sense like...

he tries to hide the feelings rise

however

minutes like seconds, hours like minutes,
Like in heaven, time feels infinite,

that is amazing and you should be proud of yourself, i think if you just go over this maybe once or twice more then it could be a masterpiece

out of 10 right now i'd give it maybe a 7, but it has the potential for a 10.
What if we both just smiled at once?
