Shining Light (original) ukulele and voice

I'm sorry for the slowness in uploading (internet difficulties). This is a new song I've been writing (me on the uke, my friend, other half of our band Paper Magic, on the tambourine). Hope you like it. We'd appreciate any feedback at all :)

Chords: F G C F F G C C except bridge (Am G Am G Am G X2)

Verse 1:
We don't talk much anymore
cos I can't hear you over the deafening roar
of what we used to be and what we shared
but I don't think we can go back there

Verse 2:
He met her, she was the one
and they got together faster than a bullet out of a gun
and just like that, things between us disappeared
and I realised what I'd always feared

Chorus:
Because when he looks at her
his face lights up, brighter than the city at night
Because she's, she's his shining light
And I wonder if maybe, maybe that could've been me
but no, it wasn't meant to be

Verse 3:
And I miss the way we were
boy, there's so much left I need to learn
about how to feel and how it works
and maybe next time I won't get hurt

Verse 4:
And now my feet, touch the ground
I lost the war and the king kept his crown
and the world, turns a bit slower than it did before
and I wonder what it all was for

Chorus

Bridge:
And when you realise
all they're feeding you is lies
and building you up to something you'll never be
and it doesn't matter how you care
because his feelings will never be there
no no, they'll never be there

Chorus

@pollyesther100 hahahaha oh I wish <3

That's a really confident performance. Your two voices blend together really well. One thing I would say is that two ukes might sound better than uke and tambourine. Persuade your friend to learn.

You should both keep up with the originals. Nice.

(this song reminds me of Cynthia Lennon and Yoko Ono)
