Hello Jason...enjoyed the passion that you played as well as the focus on your lyrics, but...
The repetition in your chords,(sorry for being brutal) , was kinda boring.
Maybe mix your strumming with fingerpick runs? Add a instrumental bridge perhaps pre-chorus, to build dynamics within the tune?
IMHO plain strumming on a tune just "drives my car off a cliff".
But keep up the journey...and love what you do!!!
