I've had this song for a while but no one's really read it before. I would love any feedback; positive or negative.

(V1)
I’m counting to ten in my head trying to keep my mind working,
I know it has a habit of pulling apart everything,
Tiny little fears that only come out when I’m trying to sing,
My eyes are flooding so much now it’s starting to sting.

(B)
I try to look into the future,
All I can see is darkness,
I can only look back,
And all my roses are turning black.

(V2)
My brains ticking over so quick its starting to feel like I’m drowning,
I can’t stand the thought that its hope I’m abandoning,
This has been going on so long, baby, I’m aching,
And the fire inside is about to start burning.

(C)
And if I cry right here, right now,
I know I won’t be able to stop myself,
Please don’t tell me coz I know,
Every single chance I get I just blow,
I don’t expect you to trust me,
Coz I still don’t know if I trust myself,
I’ve lost something I can’t find,
The rains in my eyes, I’m starting to go blind.

(V3)
Its only when I start to slow down it feels like its crushing me,
No one can hear me screaming, I know I’ll never be free,
Like a shadow looming over  me, no matter how hard I plea,
Please tell me why you can’t see, why no one ever sees!

(B)

(C)

(V4)
I can’t break free from the independence,
And right now it’s killing me,
I feel like I need to be alone,
But I want you here with me,
Am I making any sense to you?
I can’t break free from the independence,
And right now it’s killing me,
I feel like I need to be alone,
But I want you there with me,
WHY AM I NOT MAKING SENSE?

(C) x2 

(V1)

I'm still working on music for it at the moment and i still don't have a good enough Mic to record properly. When I do, you'll be the first to here from me!
