these are two songs lyrics i've written, but i can only enter one of them into the comp.
i'm torn between the two, which one should i pick?

blood stained hands
Intro
the rain is falling down, its beating down on me,
It dilutes the blood around my feet,
As the rain runs down my skin,
i remember each and every sin,
i hang my head, and cry,

Verse
It started off small, i stole from family,
a pranksters call, instead of a ring from me,
the older i got, the more danger i craved,
Threw in my lot, with a crowd god hadnt saved

Verse
The more i stole, larger my wealth,
But bigger the hole, i dug for myself,
The taste of cash, tripled my greed,
My descisions rash, anything to succeed,

Pre chorus
i could see there was a problem,
But i nurtured it, didnt pull its roots,
Never backed down, always kept it lit,
got more than my fair share of the loot,

Chorus
now i'm standing here in the rain,
Its just pouring down, pouring down,
Like slivers of my shame,
Pouring down, pouring down,
Over me,

From a theif, to a thug,
Newfound beleif, to dealing drugs,
I destroyed lives, with that dope,
For a few fives, i sold broken hope,

I'm at the last chapter, where i'm standing now,
Stole a happy ever after, over a stupid drunken row,
Rain rolls down my face, i hang my unholy head,
Bottle falls from my hands, this fallen angel now dead,

Pre chorus
i could see there was a problem,
I nurtured it didnt cut its roots,
Hes the same size, the must fit,
I'll soon be walking in his boots,

Chorus

Outro
the rain is falling down, its beating down on me,
But it cant clean my blood stained hands,
As the rain runs down my skin,
I remember each and every sin,
I hang my head,
I cry.

Someone else
the clock ticks, as they talk,
the grass flicks, where they walk,
time passes, they start to run,
as rain slashes, below the sun,

they run to, an old broken roof,
she smiles at him, he can barely move,
she looks at him, into his eyes,
he tries to hide, the feelings that rise,
 
because he knows,
shes not after him,she wants someone else,
they wont ever be, anything else,
so he tears away his eyes, traps his feelings deep inside,
where they will hide, always hide,

they sit and talk, rain pouring down,
rain pits and patters, a soothing sound,
minutes like seconds, hours like minutes,
Like in heaven, time feels infinite,

But now, they've got to go,
its too dark, getting too cold,
when she, looks into his eyes,
Things inside her, try to hide,

Because she know's
He's not after her, he wants someone else,
They won't ever be, anything else,
So she tries not to cry,  when he tears away his eyes,
Two tears mix and hide, with the rain outside,

 thanks for taking the time to read, any other observations about the song will be appreciated
 :)
well, that escalated quickly..

Why can you enter only one? Unless you only want to spend £15 you can enter as many as you can afford
They're, there, their  ...  They're all different!
