Dan Wilson - Roses lyrics

[Refrain: Nikki Flores] Just like a rose Everybody knows that you are so beautiful But I feel a thorn on my hide I should've known We can't repair what we broke But I held you close, too close I should've left your roses at the door They're sharper than before And I don't want them no more I should've left your roses at the door They're sharper than before And I don't need them no more(Don't need it) [Verse 1: Adverse] Now baby was kind of like my faded rose Love at supersonic speed, my Amy Rose We were the perfect match, such a great couple But we let others intrude, they made trouble He say, she say, involved with the voices Thorns in my rose, sipping a bottle of poison With another one meant for my Juliet Who I would truly wed from life through the d**h Under the halo, couldn't tell she's the devil A relationship that shed and fell with the petals Bought you that bouquet, thought we'd be okay Didn't know those flowers would be put on my own grave Excuse my language, pardon its use But now all you are to me is a gardening tool Now I'm just praying for the day it goes away Like memories even the most beautiful roses fade [Refrain: Nikki Flores] [Verse 2: Hiatus] I can still see them roses pinned on your prom dress Regardless, should've left them roses on your doorstep Too much stress, got us breaking under the pressure To the point that we've turned "I love you" into a lecture I said from the beginning wasn't looking for perfection But that's how it's looking from your side of the spectrum Pressuring correction, simultaneously dodging a confession I see you as an angel, you look at me like the devil Disadvantaged due to disrespect on different levels Nothing could prepare you for the battle just ahead Counting on casualties and definitely d**h Desire dying, and dwindling hope Hearts that got broke and Suicide Notes Make ups and break ups, not that it could phase us Maybe this love is just something that we made up Not so sure about anything anymore, except that you should've left my roses at the door [Refrain: Nikki Flores]
