[MinuteSekunde]

Sitting in a corner wondering why
I can’t just let things start to go by
I’m tired but I just can’t close my eyes
Inside I feel I’m growing old
It’s like my soul’s gone cold
I can’t escape the last goodbyes

It’s not as easy as people make it out to be,
I’m not that perfect, as you all can see

The mind stops us sometimes I know,
At times it’s not who I usually show,
It’s difficult, tough, no innocence,
When you’re under the influence,
My mind slows down, my words fall,
I don’t make sense, I won’t recall,
It’s hard, it’s tough, no significance
When you’re under the influence

Find it hard to stand my ground
But my clarity it’s on a rebound
Nothing I say will change things at all
A picture left inside of my head
Of a moment that is only dread
I only feel as if I’m left standing small

It’s not as quick as people have told me,
Facing the consequence of my reality,

The mind stops us sometimes I know,
At times it’s not who I usually show,
It’s difficult, tough, no innocence,
When you’re under the influence,
My mind slows down, my words fall,
I don’t make sense, I won’t recall,
It’s hard, it’s tough, no significance
When you’re under the influence

Under the influence, oh oh oh
Under the influence, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

Chorus

I liked this. The rhyming is good (almost too good  Usually I don't take to lyrics with a lot of "I"s in them as they can get a bit self-indulgent but somehow you avoid that feeling. If this were mine I would pare down a lot everywhere. Unless you already have music that fits it, it seems a bit wordy. For example:

Sitting in a corner wondering why
I can’t let things go by
Can’t close my tired eyes
Feels like I’ve grown old
Like my soul has gone cold
Can’t escape last goodbyes

Good luck with this!
Paul

Thanks for the comment

That's the problem with me is I have a chord progression, then I write something almost as if I'm writing a poem because poetry is my favourite form of writing, then I have then melody of it in my head, I try to put it all together and ... it never fits. Haha 

Maybe one day I should do the "old way" of starting with a "dum...dum..." then add words etc.

Real cool writing, as Paul says the rhyming is a bit to good.
I'm same as you, I write to a melody in my head so mine don't always tie in properly when the music is added.

Best, Roger
