I listened only to the updated version.
Overall I feel like the mix is very restrained and shy. Which I think is what you were going for but maybe it’s too shy. I really want more vocals overall. Right off the bat she says “look…” but mix wise I’m not sure what to listen to. It’s a very bare and basic arrangement (which isn’t a complaint) up to the first chorus and the focus should be all on her.
I agree with Thomas and could use more drums. They feel a little disconnected. The toms are out front and generally pop out of the mix while the snare is off in the distance. I’m not sure it’s just a volume or reverb thing. Oh, I forget were there any phase issues wit the snare mics on this one? I kinda want to say there was but I might be misremebering.I don’t hate the snare sound. It feels a little 80s but that’s ok. I’m missing the kick in general. The bass works.
Sonically, I think there might be a lot going on in the mids/upper mids and it might be getting crowded. Between the distorted guitars and the snare and the upper range of the vocals it just might all just be too much going on in a narrow space.
There are times when the mix gels like in the pre chorus and it really works. I do want more excitement from the chorus though.
All a bit vague, I know.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
