Hi Ricki, Your lyric is good song poetry. The "drinking doesn't ease the pain" line/idea feels a little worn; I think there could be just a real succint image there, that shows the pain, instead. In the last line of each chorus, I think you could say simply "I need a reason", shifting the focus ever so slightly to the "overall reason" the singer dives into at the end. I think the chord structure and music and melody are all working together. You sounded a little unsure about a few notes. More singing will overcome this for sure. Overall very nice, this is the kind of writing and music that I really like. Lyrics reflective of inner states, yet very visual.  Mike
