Go on

I tried to reason with you
But you just ran so far away
Away from all your problems
Away from all your dreams
Away from this life you lead

Go on, go on
Just run away
Go on, go on
Leave today
Go on, go on
There’s nothing here
Go on, go on
Be free

Yesterday I got so sad I felt like I could die
Tommorow I got so blue that I thought I could cry
I cannot stay here for good
I cannot live here with you
You yell and you plea
“Come back, Come back to me”
And I all say in whispered tounges is
“Can’t you see we were never meant to be?”

Go on, go on
Just run away
Go on, go on
Leave today
Go on, go on
There’s nothing here
Go on, go on
Be free

Come back, come back
Come to me
Come back, come back
Can’t you see I’m dead without you?
Come back, come back
Come back to me
Go on, go on
Go and be free

    These are some pretty decent lyrics, maybe a bit cliche, but still pretty good. I feel like the chorus could use more substance, though. I like the repitition, but maybe you can change the words or add some more the the lines in between “Go on, Go on.”

    I think in the last stanza/verse, line 33 kinda interrupts the flow of it. Maybe you can shorten it or remove it all together.

    In the verses, you could probably be a little more descriptive, at least in the first four lines of verse 2. Try thesaurus.com, lol, I use it a lot.

    All in all it was pretty good and I’d like to hear the beat you must have had in mind when writing it.

    Well, I hope I helped a bit.
