Hey! So I just want to say sorry for not coming on in a while. And I wrote this last night, and it's the first draft so please critique. Its a rock song, and it might sound weird without the music. But I want you all to try and guess what it's about!!! because it's important. Thanks!
Oh,it also changes keys a lot, but that's okay.

I saw the look in your eyes
and I saw the tears rolling down
the sides of your face
You let go of my hand and
started to stand to
quit the race
You were all I had, I thought
you could understand what I was
going through
But the world got in the way
I guess you couldn’t stay and that I'm
not good enough for you

You left broken, leaving me broken
to live
You left broken, leaving me broken
to deal with what you did

You shut the door and walked away
I begged you but you wouldn't stay
You said that life was way to hard
Well you tore mine up and broke my heart

You left me here alone
You left me here alone

I thought we had it figured out
and that we were getting out of the
mess we were in
But you leaving had me thinking
of things we vowed we'd
never do again
Truth hid lies, smiles covered up
your eyes, and what I should
have been looking for
You should have known what this would do,
and I'm hoping I'll find you on the other
side of the door

We left broken, leaving them broken
to live
You left broken, I left broken
I guess I couldn't deal with what you did

I shut the door and walked away
They begged me but I couldn't stay
Well I guess life was way to hard
But now we'll never be apart

But were still all alone
We'll always be alone

I look down, where are we now
nobody knows
Was this for best, now we'll never rest
I wish they saw what we'd shown

We slammed the door and ran away
They begged us but we went anyway
I bet they're asking why
I wish they'd seen it in your eyes

We left them there alone
Were still here alone
I wish they saw what we’d shown

Could be a good rock song and I can understand the key changes as you go through the builds and the brief chorus.

I'm guessing you'll make a bridge to support the chorus in the latter part.

I write a lot of folksy cafe type songs that are really long with a lot of lyrics.

However, for a rock song this might be a bit wordy and then too repetitive, not sure.

I'm wrong a lot so don't take me too serious.
