Hectameter -> Septameter

Hectameter -> Septameter

Septameter -> Septameter

and then,

Eight followed by Seven

Must analyze as poetry and not music lyrics when presented in this fashion, possibly can make sense depending upon rhythmic and melodic values of the music that we cannot hear.

Also, the rhyming here is good, but rather simple.

you -> you
too -> true

kisses -> long ??
fool -> cool

rumours -> else
told -> hold

A good thing I'd recommend you do -- obtain some books or copies of the great English poets and start reading and studying same. Today, you might be able to find a whole lot of these for free via internet search engines, there are also public libraries as well as book stores, etc.

There are also books available that list just the lyrics of great English popular songs, some with in-depth analysis. "If it worked once, it can work again." With appropriate changes, of course.

Don't get discouraged, either. Keep writing. This is how we learn the craft.
