Wrote this during a big fight with my lovely boyfriend.
Thought we'd break up. But thank god we didnt.  :)

Game over

Verse 1:
I thought we could make it,
I thought we could win it.
But I realised it all,
and now I fall...
(I fall, I fall out of...)

Chorus:
Out of love.
I have enough.
We lost our game,
oh what a shame.
Broken hearts,
little shards.
You lost me,
so...
Game over,
baby.

Verse 2:
It was always you and me
'til you decited so leave.
And I lost it all,
and now I fall...
(I fall, I fall out of...)

Chorus:
Out of love.
I have enough.
We lost our game,
oh what a shame.
Broken hearts,
little shards.
You lost me,
so...
Game over,
Baby.

Bridge:
Oh...
Where did we go wrong?
I know you for so long.
Never thought we'd end so...
Oh, oh...

Verse 3:
I thought we could make it,
I thought you love me.
Now my heart is breaking,
so...
Game over,
baby.
Writing songs is the only way I can express my feelings.

Not a bad song really. I think it's better than the other song. The thing is I would add more metephots/ similes to add the emotion into the song. Or even extend the verses. But it's not a bad song over all!

I definitely think this is stronger than your other piece, I like the chorus- especially the little shards idea. I also like how you've written this based on something personal, even if it was a negative experience, at least you've made a song from it.
Again, try exploring techniques to use within your lyrics, similies, metaphors, personification, onomatopeia, etc. right now, no offence, although your songs are good they're not like WOW, but your ideas are there, I feel like you have this amazing potential that you're not using. Just take a look at the bridge (for example)

where did we go so wrong
you were ...(the melody in my song/the air inside my lungs/the heart where I belong/etc.)

even adding a simple metaphor adds so many fresh ideas
