using Google and some help from 'natives'

When I'm not sure about an expression I'd like to use in my lyrics I use to 'google' it. Many hits mean that it's a common phrase, few hits or none at all can mean that that particular expression is either wrong or very uncommon. But you have to be on the alert where the Google hits come from: if most or even all hits come from German or Austrian sites you've probably made a typical German mistake!

In my latest draft I use expressions that brought up no hits at all from Google. Since I have the impression that they maybe viable nonetheless I'm now asking fellow songwriters from an American songwriting forum. The native speakers are supposed to know, aren't they?

These are the sentences in question:

"what was it caused your anger"
"what was it raised your fury"

Maybe I'll have to insert the word 'that' which would slightly affect the meter: "what was it that caused your anger". The following expression proved to be okay: "what was it I did wrong". The word 'that' is usually omitted in spoken English, indeed.

This is the draft for "love to be loved":

I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
but I cannot hate you

what was it caused your anger
why can't we get along
what was it raised your fury
what was it I did wrong

you smash our dreams and friendship
you're dashing all my hopes
I feel I've lost my footing
on an endless downhill slope

in your eyes I see hatred
where I had hoped for love
for feelings that have faded
where never've been enough

I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
still I cannot hate you

I've never been an angel
you knew that all along
I've never been so faithful
I've never been that strong

in your eyes I see hatred
where I had hoped for love
for feelings that have faded
where never've been enough

I like to be liked
I love to be loved
I hate to be hated
but I cannot hate you
