I like a song called "She said."
It made by Japanese.
But I heard that rhymes in the song and grammar are wrong.
Is it true?
Please tell me!

'Every time she felt sad... doesn't know since when'
I understand what she's trying to say & it's not technically wrong, it's just not a phrase a native speaker would use.
As far as rhymes, the song doesn't rhyme, so maybe that's what's unusual?
I learned some grammers from the song but I thoght perhaps the grammers I rearned were wrong to hear someone said the grammar is wrong.
ありがとう！
わたしはこの歌からいくつかグラマーを学んだんだけど、誰かが、そのグラマーは悪いって言っているのを聞いて、ひょっとしたら私が学んだグラマーは間違ってるかもしれないと思ったんです。
Are this lyrics unnatural English?
It was made by a Japanese person.
"sung" / "written" sounds more natural than "made". "written" would probably be a better choice here as you are talking about the lyrics.
But I heard that the rhymes in the song and the grammar are wrong.
For example: "Every time she felt sad... doesn't know since when"
In a normal sentence, I'd probably insert a "she" before "doesn't".
In a song though, this sounds a little odd, but its fine.
the only song grammar mistake is in this line, as "puzzles" = plural.
"Puzzles inside here heart *WERE* always incomplete"
there is also a spelling mistake, but that could just be caused by whoever transcribed the lyrics. "dosen't" -> "doesn't"
as for the rhyming...
Obviously all the lines that end in the same words rhyme perfectly. All the others do not rhyme.
"heart" and "laugh" can be pronounced so they *almost* rhyme with an 「アー」 sound. However the singer doesn't do this.
As the song is quite slow though, you don't really notice that it doesn't rhyme. Anyway, songs don't always have to rhyme, so it sounds like the singer intended it that way.
