Subject: RE: Opinion on these songs
Hello again everyone. I have completed my next song and would once again like to know your thoughts, and whether or not you think I've improved in any of the fields in the past little while. (Lyrics, guitar work, delivery, etc..)

So here it is:

A Pair of Dead Roses

V1        I did fight for you, I fought for you everyday. At war with myself.
My head told me that you'd heard me too much.
And my heart told my head it didn't that it had been hurt.

V2        I stood by you until the end, whether or not I was wrong to. My heart was stronger.
That's what always made us so different.
I thought with my heart and you'd always thought with you head.

Bridge 1
But you taught me to love and you taught me to hate. You made me feel and you made me great.
But I cannot go back to the way that things were, and I cannot decide just where I should turn.

V3        A pair of dead roses is all I have left, with the scent of your hair that I wove 'round the stem. And the burden that follows me to bed every night.
I held onto you by the threads that you left behind.
Those sorrowful, wonderful thoughts can never evade my mind.

Bridge 2
Please turn away from my soul and let go of my heart. You've drained out all of my blood, and you've burnt all my art.
Those songs that I wrote you so many months ago, I sing them now and my hate starts to grow.

So let me know what you think. And thank you all in advance!
