I've got to leave (lyrics, instrumental, Hang)

These are some lyrics I wrote after being inspired by knockin' on heaven's door.

Can’t seem to stay I’ve got to go,
My shirt is stained, torn all up there
I tried to go against the flow,
It was a chance I thought I’d dare.

I feel cold I’ve got to go,
Got to step on that shining stair,
There’s no more pain I’ll ever know.
Though it may seem like it’s unfair.

Got to go I can’t stay here,
I’ll be happy don’t you fear,
Leave me here in the dirt,
After this I can’t get hurt,

[instrumental]

Oooooo, I’ve got to go [fade out]

Do you think I need to expand it? I'm also wondering if the lack of chorus is any problem....

I'd appreciate any replies you have.

It's really good. You're rhyming pattern changes which messes with the flow a little though. Other than that I envy your work.

I feel like a chorus adds a familiarity to it.

But it's unique without one.
