I’m suppose to be bitter and I know it, - you didn't expand on this or let people know why you're supposed to be bitter in a clear way, confuses the audience and they can't follow, not good.
Delivering true words of sorrow as a poet, - you called yourself a poet, could be seen as pretentious by the average listener.
But hey, There’s no tears of rage, - still no idea what you're talking about at this point, no audience is following.
It’s just a phase, simply a turning of a page,
Because to put it honestly,
She came to you straight through me, - this line is pretty unclear with what i think you're trying to convey.
You got something out of her I couldn’t even see, - good line, makes sense, clear, relatable.
becoming everything I always tried to be,
I’m suppose to be bitter and I should be,
But how can I be bitter when you let us both free - Major cringe, cliche line.
Lyrics are too vague and trying too hard to be artsy fartsy. Talking about specifics would create a stronger emotional reaction in an audience. did she come straight through you, or did someone steal her but hey it's ok because x. Word choice overall could be a little better to convey what you mean. The lyrics overall don't elicit a emotional response out of me. They didn't paint a picture or deliver a very concise story line, although there was a vague idea of what was happening.
