Hmm... Your translation is not that bad, but you sometimes change the lyircs by with your personal interpretation. For example, 壊れてた優しさが涙を流してる is "My shattered kindness is shedding tears". どうして言えなかったのかな is "I don't know why I couldn't say what I wanted to say". You seem to have a strong attachment to Honey Work's songs, and your adoration to them seems to make you translate their works with overly-emotional words. Please note a translator is a translator, not an agent or a commentator. It often brings a headache to a translator striking a balance between accuracy and understandability - a beautiful translation is not faithful and a faithful translation is not beautiful - but you are becoming a promoter for Honey Works. I suggest you read recommended translators' translations and learn how they use the right words avoiding adding their own interpretations to the original works.
