      Distrokid answered me and redirected me to an article I had already seen on "Can I Have Songs With Different Languages On the Same Album?" and it says no.
      But I feel like my situation is a bit different since it's only a verse.

    Hey thank you for the info. Just wanted to ask something in regards to the credits part on distrokid. What does it mean when you chose the option songwriter an two option pop up. I know the lyrics part is definitely me. But what does it mean by musicZ an should I give my self credit for both if I wrote an also the one singing the song ?

    I appreciate this, but you're missing a few components. You're not mentioning they don't want you to space lines in some contexts. Perhaps you could make a video about stanzas and proper stylization.
    I realize it seems like another person's job; but you're knowledgeable and it'd be helpful.
    You've been talking of mine and I realize
    You've got a funnier side than you ever thought
    No you'll never mind time and the things that could've been
    No you'll never decide
    Anything could've been right
    But you never thought of My saving grace that's held Me up since life's begun
    Joan of Arc and the diplomat's tool of trade
    Causing sparks in a mortal fray
    All your aces and spades for another heart
    Had saved the day
    All your aces and spades for another heart
    Had saved the day
    Joan of Arc in the china shop
    With no remorse for the cups she's dropped

    You've been talking of mine and I realize
    You've got a funnier side than you ever thought
    Anything could've been right
    No you'll never decide
    Instead of letting you fight they had stepped in
    Joan of Arc and the diplomat's tool of trade
    Causing sparks in a mortal fray
    What held Me up till now was My saving grace
