For your first mixing attempt, this was good.
There are a number of folks here who have been doing this for years and still don't get it.

I'm one of them.

Funny thing is when I listen to the mix I still hear spots I could have fixed or done differently. 

Everybody suffers from this syndrome, and it only gets worse as your critical-listening skills improve and you hear more and more things you can improve upon. It can lock you in an endless loop if you let it! You'll even start listening to commercial recordings and picking out things you would have done differently. 
 
The trick is knowing when to let go of a mix, accepting that some flaws are necessary. I'm not there yet, but I've only been doing it for 40 years.
 
 
 

Nicely done R & B tune. Great first go around .... enjoyed it.

This is a great first effort, great arrangement, ambitious singing, lots of feel and you voice has a great tonal quality. You've got some good feedback here, I just wanted to throw in my thumbs-up for your work.

I'll concur with the other posters that this is pretty good!
 
Aside from what's already been mentioned, I might try a little delay or ambience/verb on the keys. Just a touch, to ee if that helps glue everything together a bit more.

Hi. I can just agree with the others saying that this is great for a first song. It is catchy. Your voice is cool, and has a vibe to it. Nice backing vocals. As for not being a singer, just keep singing until it gets fun
All the best.

So true. My second song took months and it was because I couldn't let go. I am learning to love 'em and leave 'em.  Thanks

Great tip.

Nice groove! Sweet lyrical sentiment! Lead vocal is a little pitchy in areas.
