its dark and its cold

as another sleepless night goes by

I think about you all the time

day or night rain and shine

I'm going nut's here

I just want you'r attention

I'm waiting for you to see..

that I am the only one

to break down you'r wall's

hold you when you cry

hug you when you'r hurt

pick you up when you fall down

oh please please

stop pushing me away

please don't leave me alone

these days grow darker

the bruises come sooner

this pain I'm immune

 it feels good against my skin

I'm scared i wont make it much farther

hold my hand and breath life back into

this lifeless body

and promise me you see through the lies and pain

I'm waiting for you to see..

that I am the only one

to break down you'r wall's

hold you when you cry

hug you when you'r hurt

pick you up when you fall down

oh please please

stop pushing me away

please don't leave me alone

I hate the way this feels

as his cold hands stroke my face

the days are dark when you'r not around

I miss you all the time

I wish that you would

pick me up and make me stay

I'm just trying to keep myself alive

you told me that you loved me

 and I that you would save me

cause I'm two step from the edge

you understand me and can hurt me just as easily

my worlds about to break

I've had all that I can take

I'm waiting for you to see..

that I am the only one

to break down you'r wall's

hold you when you cry

hug you when you'r hurt

pick you up when you fall down

oh please please

stop pushing me away

please don't leave me alone

come and rescue me

please save me from myself

come rescue me

Hello! It's been a while since I reviewed a song so I figured I'd check this out.

Specifics

1. Before I start reading, my first observation is that you haven't broken it down into verses and chorus which makes it harder to read. Having that kind of layout will make it look more like a song and instead of writing the chorus out multiple times, you can even just type 'Chorus' as long as you've made it clear earlier where the chorus starts and ends, though I know some songs vary the chorus slightly.

2. I think some of the lines are a little over-used. Like this one:

I'm going nut's here
It should be 'nuts' without the apostrophe but I also think this line could be more interesting. That phrase has been said so much it has lost any real meaning and there are much more creative routes to take. You could have something vague like 'I'm falling through black holes/ without a spaceship' or something more concrete like 'I'm losing pieces of my mind to this affliction'.

3. 'you'r' should be 'your' except the third time when it should be you're.

4. Again, some of the actions are a little over used - pick you up, hug you, break down walls etc. It's okay to have some familiar images in lyrics ad in fact encouraged but you need things which are new and unique as well or the song won't stand out.

5.
as his cold hands stroke my face
Who is 'he' - we've not been introduced to a third party yet so this feels like it comes out of nowhere. Is this a guy she turns to when she's weak and missing her lover? I think we need more information about that.

6.
and I that you would save me
You're missing a word here, it should be I thought or I believed.

Overall

I like that the song seems to balance between both the main characters being the rescue the other needs and I like the progression from offering to save him to then asking to be saved in return. I think the word choice could be more interesting and at the moment the plot isn't one hundred percent clear, though the singer does seem to be cheating on the man she's trying to get back with? I'm not sure but making that more obvious would be good!

Hope this give you a few things to think about and thanks for the read,

to break down you'r wall's

hold you when you cry

hug you when you'r hurt

It is better this way :

to break down your walls
hold you when you cry
hug you when you're hurt


Honestly,this is really good and I feel the sadness and the feelings in this work.It sounds like it is written and taken from the depth of your heart.It is really well written.Maybe the punctuation just made me think it will not worth it.
Over all only this small grammar mistakes.

Keep on writing!

thank you and I will make sure my grammar is better it's not my greatest strong point.

You are always welcome!
