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
