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
