Would that be 'did'?
Rarely if ever comment on a lyric (I'm waiting until I get a number 1 in the
charts then I 'can' comment) ;-) but I really liked this.
It flowed, 'sang' well, and has an original approach.
The chorus may be too much like the verses, but the music could 'lift' that out
from the verses nicely.
Even could be good enough to make a country song - high praise in deed, because
country songs take a bit more in the doing than the average lyric :-)

Never apologise for, and never explain your efforts.
You are allowed...:-)
