Roses

Red and white, check out line, did they have to do this to me?
Almost made it out with just a bottle of wine
Single here, dozen there, doesn't make a difference
'Cause every petal on the floor reminds me why

I don't go out with hopes up of meeting someone
I don't mix drinks with wishing I'll find what I won't

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Know I could, know I should add a little color
And try to make this empty house feel like home (like home)
Yeah, but what's it worth? Nobody sees, nobody's coming over
And just like me, they'll sit in this living room alone (alone)

Oh, I'm better off broken, keeps me out of danger
I don't call up old numbers or give mine to strangers

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
Oh, tonight

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to
Tonight
