I haven't gotten any thing on this one....everyone is saying leave it alone..but I'm not sure...What are your ideas?

You Will Never Know

Awake in the morning
Feel a flat stomache
Breathing in time to yours
Open your eyes
Morning light shines so bright
Shadowing the one beside you
As she lives in a fantasy
Dreaming only of you

Wake in the hard night
Open my eyes
Still I'm thinking of you
My bed is cold and empty
Tears soar high above
Above the hell I'm living

(You'll never know:
The power in your fingertips
The fear in my swollen lips
The love you silently reject
The cowardice through my head and neck)

You throw my feelings out
Just more sand on the beach
You break my open deep inside
I'm just a tide on rocks

(chorus)

I feel your fingers
Playing in my palm
I open my eyes, look down
See my fist, It was only my fingers

I see your fingers
Play in her palm
I close my eyes, walk past
Unclench my fist, too dangerous around her

(Chorus)

I'm falling and I'll never rise up again
Hoping someone or anyone will catch me

(Chorus)
All the things in this songbecause from now on, im gone
From now on im free
From now on im here for me

I'm not much of one to critique,
but I thought this flowed alright except for the line

The light shines so bright


It sounds cliche
If you just want a small change you could do "the light brightly shines." Or "the sun light is glistening" or "the sun's rays glow."

Just my two cents for what its worth.

Always, Alyssa
