I'll not critique the lyric, rather, the attitude.
What I think? I'll tell you what I think. I think you need to get past the "I don't care" attitude with your lyrics. If you don't care then why write and post the lyric of a song you don't care about? Writing lyrics is serious business. A sense of accomplishment, rather than a sulk, should be associated with each new lyric you write.
You say you wrote lyrics 20 years ago. Did you care then?
Yes, I'm being rather harsh. It's a pity to see someone sink time and effort into a lyric just to read that they don't care about the lyric. That, to me, is nothing but a cop out and a way of not taking responsibility for the work.
1) You cannot be afraid to write a crappy lyric.
2) The more crappy lyrics you write, the better you get at writing good lyrics.
3) You cannot be afraid of what someone else will say about your lyric.
Don't tell me you don't care because I see it as you do care. You went to all the trouble to post the lyric. Stand up and take credit. Good or bad! It's your baby. It's your work.
And everyone gains when pride is taken in work.
