    Default Take this Ring... (feeedback appreciated)

    Take this ring

    You used to tell me, I was your every thing
    You had so much love for me, in the beginning
    Just seeing my face or hearing my name,
    Made you feel our love inside, when you gave me this ring.
    Then as time went on, your feelings changed
    And with that brought a lot of pain
    Your thoughts of me became just everyday
    Hello, goodbye, see you later today….
    No kiss hello, no kiss goodbye.
    Barely a glance at me or a look in the eye.

    Take the house, take the car, take this ring
    I don’t want it, I don’t want anything.
    You can cry, you can beg or even sing
    You can try to do or say anything
    I have nothing left to give anymore
    No love, no care, I’m done
    I’m walking out that door

    It’s too much; the name calling, yelling and arguing.
    It took a piece of our relationship each time it happened
    We made up, we apologized, then it happened again
    Little by little, tearing us apart from within
    I didn’t imagine that this was how it would end
    When our lives together started to begin
    Slowly our love fading away and deteriorating
    You lost your love for me and now I finally understand
    It wasn’t me or what I do that pushed you away, it was you.

    Take the house, take the car, take this ring
    I don’t want it, I don’t want anything.
    You can cry, you can beg or even sing
    You can try to do or say anything
    I have nothing left to give anymore
    No love, no care, I’m done
    I’m walking out that door.

    No apologies this time, no weekend in Toronto
    Not even another trip to Mexico
    We were only fooling ourselves that things were good again
    Every time we got back home the reality set back in
    I can see you’re no longer my lover, my friend.
    Time for our relationship to cease to end.

    Take the house, take the car, take this ring
    I don’t want it, I don’t want anything.
    You can cry, you can beg or even sing
    You can try to do or say anything
    I have nothing left to give anymore
    No love, no care, I’m done
    I’m walking out that door.

    Dear Finally,
    First off this sounds like its personal, good you wrote a lyric and even dared to post it here, thumbs up for that, expressing yourself is 1 thing, but showing it to the public is the next step, any self respecting writer should do that and have the guts, you got it.

    now about the lyrics, I think the chorus is pretty good its strong and it has flow, only the bit "or even sing" seems misplaced, try to find another rhyme.

    the couplet tells a story, writing story's is really hard.
    I would put more feelings/poetry and visualizations in it give the listener an idea where you are and how you feel and what kind of set up you are in. it is much easier that way to relate to something the listener has felt.
    I also think the verse's are a bit to long to much text for a song, its not a rap lyric i can imagine

    Anyways its a good start but it needs allot of work to make the verse flow, remember that sometimes 1 sentence can say more then a entire book.
    The subject is perfect for a song because allot of people have felt like this some time in their lives.
