The last two lines are the only ones worth keeping.

You have a bit of a handicap in that this is one of the most cliched songwriting topics of all. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try, it just means that you need something to differentiate your song from the sea of crappy ones out there about the same topic.

You need to figure out a rhyme scheme and a flow for the verses and another for the chorus. Don't rush it, it'll come to you.

Good job ripping off a perfectly good movie. Lol, jk. Steerpike hit the nail on the head.
