Roses
Lyrics
I am not the one you need
You should look for anyone
Someone other than me
I told you I’d grow cold
I only want someone
When it’s someone I can’t hold
I kill the moment
Kill the lights
I kill everything in time
I won’t make it out alive
I made my bed
It’s where I lie
Hey darling, don’t you cry
I said I didn’t want your roses
Baby, let it die
I know it’s hard to understand
The way I can melt you
Beneath my hands
My touch was fast, yet slow
It’s time now
You’ve got to let me go
I kill the moment
Kill the lights
I kill everything in time
You won’t make it out alive
I made my bed
It’s where I lie
Hey darling, don’t you cry
I said I didn’t want your roses
Baby, let it die
I guess it don’t seem fair
How I can love you
And leave you without a care
Say it all to get me to stay
The truth is, it’s useless
I’m already miles away
Kill the moment
Kill the lights
I kill everything in time
You won’t make it out alive
I made my bed
It’s where I lie
Hey darling, don’t you cry
I said I didn’t want your roses
Baby, let it die
