Id really appreciate constructive feedback on these lyrics. They kinda just came out as i was writing the song so they mean a lot to me :)

Please bear in mind im only 16! Thanks ;)

The song is called "there for me". Here goes:

(verse 1)
I want to see you but you're not showing yourself to me so i cannot see you at all
im going thru a roughy patch and i really need you to help me up before i trip and fall
you're always at the sides of people, children and i see right in their eyes that they can feel your love
but i dont feel this way and i just want to feel like i belong in this family in heaven above.

(chorus)
I dunno why they feel it and i dont
it makes me feel much pain and hurt
i dont feel like im getting much but for some reason i know youre there for me.

(verse 2)
My friends, they say that youre all lies and theyre always asking me why i feel youre here and all of its not true,
I say "look around you and tell me how this crazy world was made and then maybe i might agree with you"

(chorus extended)
I dunno why they feel it and i dont
it makes me feel much pain and hurt
i dont feel like im getting much but for some reason i know youre there for me.
I want to feel that my life is new
I need to feel how others feel you
Id also like a good life too and to know why i know youre there for me.

(bridge)
You know sometimes i could go and give you 20 million reasons why this guy could not possibly want me
But then im like well he forgives and forgets everything ive done to him and what ive been

(chorus)
I know im not the perfect one
Like Jesus was the perfect son
I know i dont feel very much but for some reason i know youre there for me
i want to feel that my life is new
i need to feel how others feel you
id also like a good life too and to know why i know youre there for me.

Thanks guys :)

its hard to review a lyric without knowing the musical context.
i like the way you dont chase a rhyme, not a slave to it, seems honest. im imagining it half spoken to get over the length of the lines, like a one way conversation but sounds like the truths in there somewhere.
some of it seems a bit tangled up, over complicated but you may have your own ideas about that..
well done


i may not believe this tomorrow...

YOU GOT SOMETHING, THE SONG HAS ITS MEANING AND I LIKE HOW YOU'VE MANAGED THE SONG WITHOUT THE RHYMING. I COULD GIVE IT A C plus.
