My advice is to pay a little more attention to the diction. In other words the syllable count. Perhaps these phrases fit your exact melody and its rhythm but reading it on the screen, it feels like you need to play around with some of the lines so they roll smoothly. If it were a poem anyways, you would make a big improvement with some subtle changes like:
Inside out, it tears me up.
I am stuck in between my thoughts.
I tried to run, I tried to run
I fell back, I came undone
Lessons to learn:, Crossed one more off the list,
Without you I don't exist.
becomes:
Inside out, it tears me up.
Stuck inside out in my own thoughts.
I tried to run, I tried to run
But I fell back, I came undone
Lessons to learn, one more off that list
Cause without you girl, I don't exist.
This way, the rhymes hit more on the beat/rhythm of the words. It's more symmetrical. Now granted, like I said, perhaps that fits exactly in some syncopated melody you have going. But based on just reading it as if it were a poem, I feel it would be a lot better if you added and took away some syllables and turned a phew phrases around so the rhymes drop in time with each other.
