AmaLee - Red Like Roses II (From “RWBY”) lyrics

Couldn’t take it couldn’t stand another minute Couldn’t bear another day without you in it All of the joy that I had known for all my life Was stripped away from me the minute that you died To have you in my life was all I’d ever wanted But now without you I’m a soul forever haunted Can’t help but like I have taken you for granted No way in Hell that I could ever comprehend this! I wasn’t dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore you would stay? Now I’m trapped inside this nightmare every single fu*king day It’s like a movie but there’s not a happy ending Every scene fades black and there’s no pretending This little fairytale doesn’t seem to end well There’s no knight in shining armor who will wake me from this spell I know you didn’t plan this You tried to do what’s right But in the middle of this madness I’m the one ( I’m the one, I’m the one) Left to win this fight Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness that have come to the place of you I know you were broken down by anger and by sadness You feel that I have left you in a world that’s full of madness Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute To make you understand the reason why I did it I want to tell you that your all that ever mattered Want you to know that for eternity I’m shattered I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to And in a prison of abandonment I’ve jailed you I never planned that I would leave you there alone I was sure that I would se you when I made it back home And all the times that I’d swore it’d be ok, Now I’m nothing but a liar and your thrown to the fray This bedtime story ends with misery ever after The pages are torn and there’s no final chapter I didn’t have a choice I did what I had to do I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you I know you’ve lived a nightmare I’ve caused you so much pain But baby please don’t do what I did I don’t want ( I don’t want, I don’t want) You to waste your life in vain Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness that have come to the place of you Your not the only one who needed me I thought you understood- You were the one that I needed And you left me like I always feared you would- Would I change it if I could? Doesn’t matter now The petals scatter now Every nightmare just discloses It’s you blood that’s red like roses And no matter what I do Nothing ever takes the place of you Red like roses Always closer Red like roses Fills my head with dreams and finds me Always closer To the emptiness and sadness that have come to the place of you
