I like the chord progression in the chorus it has a pretty intense build. might be an idea to try scream the 'and i feel bad' line just to see how it sounds... even just on one chorus, i think it could work but anyway nice job!

Hey Ben, thanks for the suggestion, seems it could work on the second chorus (after the second verse) :!:
