Hey there,

I've written a new song. Its about the feeling you get when others talk bad about somebody you love. But I think this is obvious if you read through the lyrics.
As I'm not a native speaker I wonder, if the lyrics make sense to you guys? Or if there is something wrong or unclear about it. I put "eye to eye" in brackets because im not sure if i want to use it and if it makes sense in this context. For now I prefer "feel inside".
Thank you so much in advance.

Lyrics:
Disarmed

Verse1:
I heard your name
through a laughters haze

it hurts my soul
how they speak about you

it changed how I
(see eye to eye)
feel inside

and i know
i can do better

Refrain:
if they could see you how I do
they would be alarmed

if they could feel you how i do
they would be disarmed

Verse 2:
it hit me hard
when they tore you apart
i guess they dont know
who you really are

Hello @Andi

I like this. It’s simple and coherent.
If a songwriter is in the right space I think these lyrics would be very effective.
There’s an endearing sentiment throughout.

This part of the forum is not so popular as other parts.
I think that’s because it’s more difficult for musicians to get with songs without music.
(I often don’t come here, usually stand alone lyrics are weak.)
I do like these lyrics. As a poem it’s not enough.
It has a clarity. With the right music it’d be a top song.

Let’s hear it.
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

Don't eat the yellow snow

And there you have it.

Hi @Andi
Yes it certainly makes sense so don`t worry on that score. I agree with @Rightly & look forward to hearing the final song.
