It's fine to showcase sad and less hopeful songs, I have quite a bunch of them ready (but I have to finish something more hopeful first...). The contrast between the title and the sad story is striking, but that's how it should be to be noticed, "I hoped we were no predators/But I believed in a lie"... I enjoyed the melody and the chorus is superb - the chord progression and your powerful voice give the lyrics big emotional lift.
Nice band once again, interesting changes from a style to another that work well.
I would add slightly more reverb on the solo guitar (in the middle, the intro is fine) to fit with the rest of the band.
You've written a strong song that doesn't pale in comparison to contemporary hits.
