Thanks for the comments, you guys. Looking back on those lyrics, I definitely like them more than I did when I posted them. They've grown on me.
And Holly- I definitely agree that a lot of it is pretty cliche. I also agree that sometimes a cliche is the best way to put something. That "cold and alone" line kinda irks me too, but I had put that line to the music before I even had the rest of the song written, so I figure it has earned its keep.
