Just Like A Band-Aid

I think the chorus(es) need some work in this song, but I'd love to hear what you think of it. Thank you so much for all the reviews of my other songs. Keep them coming, please!

"Just Like A Band-Aid"

(VERSE ONE)
Let’s pull it away
Let’s end this thing quick
Just like a Band-Aid
So it doesn’t stick.

(VERSE TWO)
It could never be
We both know it’s true
But I don’t want to hurt me
And I don’t want to hurt you.

(VERSE THREE)
It’s sand on wet feet
Let’s not get attached
Let’s just hit delete
We’re not a good match.

(CHORUS)
This thing was bad
I know it somehow
It’s just bad, bad, bad
Let’s end it now.

(VERSE FOUR)
This couldn’t last
It was never real
Let’s end it fast
So there’s not much to feel.

(VERSE FIVE)
Let’s walk into the darkness
Let’s walk into the night
Let’s kill it in its sleep
So it doesn’t bite.

(CHORUS)
This thing was bad
I know it somehow
It’s just bad, bad, bad
Let’s end it now.

(VERSE SIX)
We said take it slow
Don’t hurry the tide
But I took the blow
And that night I cried.

(VERSE SEVEN)
I’m cold, cold, cold
And painfully smart
Never thought I’d give up
My logical heart.

(VERSE EIGHT)
This thing was bad
But I fell in love
And it turned my hard heart
As soft as a dove.

(VERSE NINE)
I made a mistake
I got in too deep
Now is it too late
To kill in its sleep?

(CHORUS TWO)
This thing was bad
Let’s end it tonight
It makes me sad
But I’ll be alright.

I like it... but:
Given the simplicity of the lyric, it strikes me as having too many verses, restating the same thing over and over.

Some the the rhymes seem a little forced too (love/dove, night/bite).

Verses 5 and 9 reuse the same line (kill in its sleep), which doesn't appeal to me.

Overall, it seems like a first draft.

There are a lot of verses here. You might want to delete some - I think verses 2 and 8 are the weakest. However, I guess it depends how fast the song is, how long it is overall.

I think your chorus could work - just pick what tone you want. I think the 'band-aid' similie is great, and evokes a very sarcastic/ironic/sardonic tone, which I really like. Occassionally this mood slips and becomes soppy, like in verse 2; I'd change those bits.

I think verses 1 and 3 are fantastic - build on that kind of mood. And I think you can get away with the chorus.
