Two versions of our life
Two versions of our life
Verse
Your version of our life
Is not the same as mine.
In yours I was hateful
A jerk most of the time.
In mine I’m the hero.
In yours I am a fool.
I’m the mean SOB
Who treated you so cruel.
Chorus
There are two versions of our life.
There’s yours and there is mine.
There’s two sides to every story.
There are truths and there are lies.
There are things that we talk about.
There are things we try to hide.
There are two versions of our life.
There is yours and there is mine.
Verse
Your version of our life
Portrays a gentle soul;
A girl who fell victim
To love’s strong strangle hold.
You cooked and cleaned the house
And met his manly needs.
You went out of your way
To make sure he was pleased.
Chorus
There are two versions of our life.
There’s yours and there is mine.
There’s two sides to every story.
There are truths and there are lies.
There are things that we talk about.
There are things we try to hide.
There are two versions of our life.
There is yours and there is mine.
Verse
My account of our life
Portrays a charming guy
Always willing to give
Ready to make things right.
A man of principal.
A man who keeps his word.
A man who did his best
To take good care of her.
Bridge
The truth lies somewhere in between
What we’d like you to believe
And what we want yes what we want
What we want the world to see.
Chorus
There are two versions of our life.
There’s yours and there is mine.
There’s two sides to every story.
There are truths and there are lies.
There are things that we talk about.
There are things we try to hide.
There are two versions of our life.
There is yours and there is mine.

There's no negatives listed for the woman, which makes it feel a little unbalanced to me. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you said that was quite deliberate.
I feel there's too many "There are"s in the chorus. You might take a couple of those out and make it " two sides to every story" and "things we try to hide"
In the second verse you switch to 3rd person, but I'd suggest sticking with 1st/2nd as you have elsewhere.
I'm not keen on "And met his manly needs"
I like the first two lines of the bridge, The 3 x "what we want" feels a bit much for mine. Maybe:
We only show the part of us
We want the world to see
