I liked the song but agree about the mix.

Great lyrics

There are a number of ways to mix a song and everyone has a different method. FWIW this is my method when I am having mixing problems:
1-put all tracks to mono and/or dead center
2-start with the lead instrument, in this case your vocal, and bring it up to a level you are satisfied
3-bring in then next biggie, in your case your lead guitar and match that volume to your vocal and lower it every place else
4-one at a time bring in the drums, bass, and piano - that is my order and adjust the volume as needed
5-place each instrument in it place in the mix, i.e. left, center, right
6-add effects
7-make subtle changes in volumes it necessary (try to keep the same volume during the mix placement and effects)

This may or may not work for you.

This is song is a diamond in the rough and just needs a little polish.
