I liked it!!
I don't know what on earth that other person is talking about though.
The formating is fine and if it's because it's in red doesn't really bother me at all.

Verse I:
This road has to end somewhere
Beneath these faded stars.
Even crystal roses
Must always come to pass.
Verse II:
This road takes me through valleys
As dark as the blackest night.
But these ebony shades
Must fade into the dawn.
PreChorus:
Don’t let this earthly beauty
Be an anchor to your soul.
Chorus:
These roads are ever winding
With choices to be made
Travel past ensnaring beauty
You will find it at the end.
Verse III:
The moon is lost from the sky
Stolen by dark despair
But still I will wander blind
‘Cause my road goes ever on.
PreChorus:
Don’t let this earthly beauty
Be an anchor to your soul.
Chorus:
These roads are ever winding
With choices to be made
Travel past ensnaring beauty
You will find it at the end.
Bridge:
I won’t abandon this road
Even though it’s been so hard
I will run hard for the end
Until I find the sun.
PreChorus:
Don’t let this earthly beauty
Be an anchor to your soul.
Chorus:
These roads are ever winding
With choices to be made
Travel past ensnaring beauty
You will find it at the end.
[repeat chorus]
Verse IV:
Someday I’ll reach that place
Where the stars never fade
And rest in eternity
When beauty will never die.

Hey there, and welcome to YWS!
Before I begin my review, I'd like to point out that the formatting need some fixing. Since YWS has a plain-text editor, you'll have to go in and manually reformat your works by using BBCode tags. To make things a little easier, there are several formatting options down near the bottom of the New Topic and Edit screens that change the spacing between lines. If you edit your post and select "Poem", it should get rid of the extra spaces in between each line and will make reading your lyrics much easier.
If you have any questions or run into something, feel free to shoot me a PM.
Formatting aside, this flowed quite nicely and was interesting for several reasons.
The first was how different the verses were. None of them follow the same pattern as far as I could see, and while normally I'd be pointing that out as an issue, it works here. I think the meanings within the verses could use a bit of work (How do crystal roses come to pass, and why must they?), but the structures themselves appear to work, and I can imagine this sounding quite interesting set to a melody.
Another thing that interested me was how you split the chorus into two parts. It works, especially since you don't repeat the pre-chorus at the end, but it caught my eye since I'd never seen something like that before.
Overall, this had a very interesting structure which I found very interesting.
Hmm... I am afraid I wont be of much help in the editing department as I do not know what to look for when it comes to lyrics. As far as style goes, I like it! It sounds like it would flow nicely with a slightly upbeat Celtic type tune (just a thought).
Well done and keep writing,
~FW~
