This is a new song I'm working on. I finally got a new computer and some new audio software. Of course, I have no idea what I'm doing with all this crap. Anyway, I thought I would post this to see what kind of suggestions I get to improve the sound. Any other thoughts on the tune would be appreciated.

EDIT The lovely Jan Petter downloaded this and enhanced it a bit. Thank you so much Jan!

Hope
There wasn't any hope for you
just a small town girl
looking for a thrill
who didn't mind being used

You were on your way
to your decay
when you were just thirteen
That was when I came to know
how the world could be so mean

Some flowers rise out of the earth
before the snow starts to melt
they push their way through the frozen ground
all alone with no help

But when the days are warm
and the trees are green
they've already lost their bloom
Hope
There wasn't any hope for you

I don't know why, late at night
you haunt me in my sleep
and the deeds you did, the seeds you've sown
are the memories that I reap
Sometimes I think that you and I
Were dying by degrees
Is knowing worse for the one who does
or for the one who sees?

They say that knowledge comes
from hearing
and hearing through the word
And now I wish I didn't know
And I wish I had not heard

Because it feels like I
was there with you
plucking the fruit
off that tree
Hope, there wasn't any hope
for you and me

Hope, there wasn't any hope
for you and me
