If anyone steals it I'll sue.

My heart is yours you hold the key
It hurts within my chest so take it from me
Don't be confused just let me in
The sooner the better let the love begin.

Chorus:
I lie in bed
You're the only thing in my head
Can't escape these feelings I have for you
I fall asleep
You're the only thing in my dreams
And I know there's nothing I can do
The only place in my heart belongs to you

You know the way you make me feel
You've got a heart of gold yet a heart of steel
Take my hand and take my pain
Only you can heal and make me new again

Chorus

Without you I'm incomplete
It's like going the wrong way on a one way street

Chorus

Okay okay keep your panties on!!

Right i'm gonna assume that this is to be sung not recited (from the fact you have a named "chorus") so i'll ignore the fact that you've gotta fiddle a bit to make it fit a rhythm scheme. It's possible if you give yourself a steady pulse, but it's really not that regular and the jump from uber-fast line 2 to uber-slow line 3 is slightly awkward

Okay having bashed your structure a bit let's take a look at what you're actually saying.

The last line of the first verse sounds v cliche to me, and i think you've just put in the first thing that fits the rhyme - unfortunately 75% of the time the first thing you think of WILL be a cliche in this kind of song

Although i like the idea of
Quote:
You've got a heart of gold yet a heart of steel


Aesthetically it's not quite right - it doesn't make sense for one thing.

I do like the last 2 lines of the 2nd verse though - it's a nice image. It reminds me of Seether ft Amy Lee's Broken

Quote:
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away


The one way street is a good metaphor, but once again feels like you're just fitting it in, because there is no build up to it. Keep that last bit, but right yourself a bridge to build up to it

I think you've got some good stuff, and how good this song turns out to be depends largely on what kind of song it is. If it's chic-pop then sure go with it. If it's meant to be something heavier: rock, metal, even indie... then i would say keep writing because it FEELS like a pop love song

I hope that helps, feel free to ignore me: i'm only saying what i feel, i'm not a real critic

There is nothing about the lyrics that make this song special. The subject matter is very cliche and sounds like a thousand other songs of this era.

But as many times as you will hear lyrics equated to poetry, they certainly are not equal beasts...and as you can see from the media, it's completely unneccessary to have your lyrics stand up as any kind of quality poem.

It's really more a matter of how the words are sung, and what tune they're sung to. So, I can't really say if this is a good song or a bad song...because it all depends on the singer.
