I like the lyrics very much. I love rhyme in a song. You do rhyme some, but you are not constant. I suggest you rewrite to rhyme more percise.

If it were me, I would shorten the last line in the chorus to; 'I need something' and change the title to "I Need Something".

I would also drop the words "put my" in all the lines "Something that I can put my focus on". Making it "Somehting that I can focus on".

Also, I wouldn't let the listener hanging. I think you should add a verse telling you have found what you were searching for. It would most likely be a love, but that's up to you. And then change the last chorus to to imply you found that something.

Such as:

I found something that I can focus on
something that tells me I belong
no longer am I alone, I now know where to go
I found you and you are all I need to know

You can do it better, but you get the idea.

Just a few suggestions. It's your song.

Good Job!

Those suggestions were great! Thanks a lot, I will definitely consider a lot of you guys' ideas.
