Sixty-Five Roses

It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile It's been too long baby what went wrong Tell me how it got spoilt Tell me when it went bad How to get back to the times that we had We were both young And our spirits were bold Now we're just angry and we act like we're old We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away You were 18 I just turned 29 I was fresh out the coffin Girl you were so fine The future was bright The world, it seemed new I was with some other woman I was thinking of you I know how it hurts I know how it feels I know it how aches Cause the heart never heals We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say Taking out lumps Took a few blows Hit a few bumps Had our fair share of woes We tried to see good Through all of the bad Put on our smiles Pretend we're not sad Gotta be tough Gotta be strong Gotta be right Can't afford to be wrong It's hard to sing the blues When you're hearing bad news everyday We worry too much for one couple to bear Hunger so much for one person to care Fooling our family We're fooling our friends Pray that the pain and the frustration ends Hope is a chance Hope is a dream Hope is a drug Maybe hope's a vaccine In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray Shout at the devil I curse the lord Offer them everything I can afford I'd sell out my soul I'd lie and deceive Tried to be righteous Tried to believe Prayed every prayer Kicked all of my highs For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes All of my problems seem to be melting away The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
