    Default Love is Grand

    Who am I to write a song
    To tell the world where I belong
    Lyrics of the past to view
    Fail to say something new

    So instead I'll try to find
    A way that I can clear my mind
    Focus on the thought at hand
    Instead of lyrics for a band

    I tell you that I love you most
    And do not think that is a boast
    Just try to understand
    I've never felt like this before
    But this I feel inside my core
    Yet none of it was planned

    The word is just overused
    Said to even those abused
    I need a different strategy
    It doesn't tell you just how rare
    A gift it is to know you care
    Which I find a tragedy

    So in these lines I will explain
    How you took away the pain
    And brought me back from Hell
    Simply looking in your eye
    Locked in a stare as the world flies by
    You take away my shell

    No longer hiding myself inside
    Fear is turning into pride
    I have only you to thank
    For just three short months ago
    You messaged me and now I know
    Why my life had been so blank

    The word is just overused
    Said to even the abused
    I need a different strategy
    It doesn't tell you just how rare
    A gift it is to know you care
    Which I find a tragedy

    White pages leave a space for you
    Fill them in and as you do
    Read the ones of my past
    You will begin to see how I
    Have left behind when I was shy
    Giving me courage that will last

    I've never been good at this
    Using words to share my bliss
    The words just never flow
    But since the night we met
    My heart and mind are set
    I'll give that ring to show

    The word is just overused
    Said to even the abused
    I need a different strategy
    It doesn't tell you just how rare
    A gift it is to know you care
    Which I find a tragedy

    So come with me and share
    The word that says you care
    I know exactly what you feel
    It's a personal issue, sure
    But I will find a cure
    To find the words to show...

    It's real.

    Who am I write a song
    To tell the world where I belong
    Lyrics of the past to view
    Fail to say something new

    So instead I'll try to find
    A way that I can clear my mind
    Focus on the thought at hand
    And how your love for me is grand

    Nice wordplay, nice structure and it can lend itself to several genres... All in all I would call this a good write! (you still have a typo, tho... )
