Have you told him that this bothers you?
One of the reasons to be in a band is to bounce ideas of each other in order to improve, right?
This is really hard if you write from your heart, because it is easy to take the criticism too personally when you have put so much of yourself into your lyrics. When that happens it's almost impossible to stay open to suggestions.
This tends to get easier the more experience one gets, n hopefully it gets so easy that one actually takes advise that makes the songs better...
If not, then a solo-project is the only choice... n well even then you can't really get away from learning to handle criticism... unless you never share your music, but that is a sad sheltered choice...
Good luck either way
