"DIVORCE"- New song and new EP
Divorce
(Sad, slow acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar and soft drums)
Verse 1:
Life happens, it is what it is
But I just can't let it go
Am I gonna find someone else
I can't be sure, I just don't know
Why did you have to go
And leave me cryin' alone at night
I wanna say everything will be all right
But I can't help but wonder why
Chorus:
I did everything to keep you with me
But it wasn't enough and now I'm lonely
I should just move on, but I'm just feelin' too sad
Why does divorce
Gotta hurt so bad
(Sad, slow acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar and soft drums)
Verse 2:
All the promises we made
All the hope you put in my heart
But I wasn't good enough
And my whole just fell apart
Yeah, it fell apart
What am I supposed to do
Every day I cry out to you
But you don't even care, do you?
Chorus:
Bridge:
Why can't I just move on, forget all we were
Maybe it's because there's just too much hurt
Chorus:
Why does divorce
Gotta hurt so bad...
Outro:
Life happens, it is what it is
But I just can't let it go...

I admire anyone who can squeeze so much emotion out of so few words.
It is a talent and you have it!
The song is eloquent and full of passion.
If the rest of your songs are half as good as this, you're on a winner.
minor point, end of v.2 reduce the number of "you's".
'Every day I cry out to you', I'd drop off "to you",
Leave the impact on the last line.
Great song, look forward to the rest

Good lyrics with depth of emotion said in simple words that make it clear and easy to relate to. I envisioned the music described and feel this will be a solid intro to your works. It carries a good arc across the song and I liked the closing line leaving it open for our personal feelings on the matter.
I agree that the usage of you is overdone here.
Every day I cry out to you
But you don't even care, do you?
Every day I cry out to you
but do you even care
To keep it as a question.
or
Every day I cry out to you
but you don't even care
To end it in a statement of actuality.
Just my suggestions.
As a poet I often find myself having to reduce my references to a subject using pronouns. I am seeing it is similar in lyrics.
