Picking flowers in the grey

Hi guys. I’m a London based country fan with a passion for writing lyrics. Not much of a singer and can’t play an instrument. But now with the ability to use AI I have finally been able to write freely.
I have created 3 tracks so far and tried to cover different topics to try different styles would appreciate your opinion.
Here is the first
Picking Flowers in the Grey

Woke up to a world and it don’t feel the same,
Sky’s a shade of steel, and every day feels plain.
That coffee in the morning, it don’t taste quite right,
And even in the daytime, well the sun don’t shine so bright.
The fields that were all golden, they just look washed out and worn,
And the roses that you loved, well they don’t bloom no more.
I’m picking flowers in the grey.
Where there used to be colors, they’ve all faded away.
You took the red from all the roses, the blue out of the sky,
You left me standing in a world, that seems like it don’t even try.
There’s no yellows, there’s no greens, and no soft summer haze,
All that’s left is me just standing here,
Picking flowers in the grey.
The pictures on the walls, now they don’t seem so clear,
It’s like the memories we made, are just starting to disappear.
The laughter it’s gone quiet, and all the music’s out of tune,
And the night sky it’s so cloudy, I can’t ever see the moon.
I’m picking flowers in the grey.
Where there used to be colors, they’ve all faded away.
You took the red from all the roses, the blue out of the sky,
You left me standing in a world, that seems like it don’t even try.
There’s no yellows, there’s no greens, and no soft summer haze,
All that’s left is me just standing here,
Picking flowers in the grey.
I used to see the rainbows, out there in every storm,
But ever since you left, even they have lost their charm.
I tried to paint my life, in something new,
But the only color missing, is still you.
I’m picking flowers in the grey.
Where there used to be colors, they’ve all faded away.
You took the red from all the roses, the blue out of the sky,
You left me standing in a world, that seems like it don’t even try.
There’s no yellows, there’s no greens, and no soft summer haze,
All that’s left is me just standing here,
Picking flowers in the grey.
There’s no yellows, there’s no greens, and no soft summer haze,
Yeah, I’m just picking flowers in the grey.
Yeah, I’m just picking flowers in the grey.
Hoping one day you’ll bring back the colors, that you took away.

That's a lovely lyric! And the AI music fits it well too.
I think my favorite lines are:
The fields that were all golden, they just look washed out and worn,
And the roses that you loved, well they don’t bloom no more.
Very consistent use of your metaphor throughout the song. Works a treat!
Enjoyed that.
