When I was a teen, I would stay up late talking to boyfriends. If the clock hit 11:11 while we were on the phone, we'd make a wish. This song was inspired by past loves and heartbreak.
Nice rhythm… clearly feeling the story.. I’m wondering if it’s just the title that needs to change here—11:11 (and the story behind it) is very meaningful to you, but if the title was “Tossing Pennies” or something like that, it might appeal to a larger group of listeners… Thanks for sharing!!

“11:11”- Jodie Ross
Verse1
It’s 11:11 on the clock on the wall
And I’m sitting here wishing that I didn’t fall in love with you,
But I did
You ran away with my heart
Faster than a shooting star
I’d give anything to get it back
Chorus
Now I’m tossing pennies in a well cause this heartache hurts like hell
And I’m just wishing your memory would fade
There’s no genie in a bottle of Jack, but I keep on throwing it back
Trying to drown the pain
But some things you cannot change
Verse 2
I’m still paying the price
For you being my vice
You left me broken and scarred
They say my scars are beautiful
But I tell them that they’re a fool
I can never undo the damage that you’ve done
Chorus
Now I’m tossing pennies in a well cause this heartache hurts like hell
And I’m just wishing your memory would fade
There’s no genie in a bottle of Jack, but I keep on throwing it back
Trying to drown the pain
But some things you cannot change
Bridge
I don’t have to worry
‘Cause you’ve already hurt me
And lightning don’t strike the same place twice
Though the storm may rage, I’ve learned to dance in the rain
To try and find some healing
Chorus
Now I’m tossing pennies in a well cause this heartache hurts like hell
And I’m just wishing your memory would fade
There’s no genie in a bottle of Jack, but I keep on throwing it back
Trying to drown the pain
But some things you cannot change

I think it’s good. And it’s easy to tell it’s an experience you’ve had. Have you thought about somehow tying the title into the song somewhere?
