AS Long as You Love Me lyrics critique - Blues song

by Aubryn
(La Mesa, CA, USA)

* I'd like a light, general critique, and keep in mind that this is blues which utilizes a lot of repetition. Currently it's too short, so I need help with more images. The song's about a long distance relationship where we still love each other but just can't be together because of the distance.

I've been down for a while now
feelings way down to the floor
I've been down for a while now
since you walked out my front door

and I cry and I wail cause I know without fail it's too hard to stay away
and I cry and I wail cause I know without fail it's too hard to stay away
but I'm coming home one day

We talk on the phone, but we're still alone so we're better off this way
We talk on the phone, but we're still alone so we're better off this way
But my love is here to stay

I've got things I gotta do while my life is good and new
I've got things I gotta do while my life is good and new

Though you're no longer mine, I'm-a try not to whine
cause as long as you love me I'm fine
Though you're no longer mine, I'm-a try not to whine
cause as long as you love me I'm fine
As long as you love me I'm fine
As long as you love me I'm fine

As long as you love me I've a sliver of hope
As long as yo love me I'll be able to cope
as long as you love me, I've a sliver of hope
As long as you love me, I'll be able to cope
