Lyrics

Roses

3 a.m. and you're not home
And I can't find the courage to call you
And you said you were working
So who am I to question your every move?

But I know you better than you
You're coming home with an excuse
Giving me gifts, hiding the truth
But I see through it all

And I'll pray that all of the flowers stop growing
So you'll find another way of showing me your love
And I'll wait for the sky to change colour
Rivers stop running
Maybe then you'll change your love
Maybe then you'll change your love

Who's the bigger fool?
Is it me or is it you?
You fuck with my emotions
I try leaving you, but every time I do
You'll go and buy me roses

Blue isn't my color
But you painted me so carefully
My strength was too much for you
And I allowed you to make me so weak

But I know you better than you
You're coming home with an excuse
Giving me gifts, hiding the truth
But I see through it all

And I'll pray that all of the flowers stop growing
So you'll find another way of showing me your love
And I'll wait for the sky to change colour
Rivers stop running
Maybe then you'll change your love
Maybe then you'll change your love

Who's the bigger fool?
Is it me or is it you?
You fuck with my emotions
I try leaving you, but every time I do
You'll go and buy me roses
Maybe then you'll change your love

This one's for me
The cycle repeats, baby
This one's for me
This one's for me
The cycle repeats, baby
This one's for me
This one's for me
The cycle repeats, baby
This one's for me
This one's for me
The cycle repeats, baby
This one's for me

And I'll pray that all of the flowers stop growing
So you'll find another way of showing me your love
And I'll wait for the sky to change colour
Rivers stop running
Maybe then you'll change your love
Maybe then you'll change your love

Who's the bigger fool?
Is it me or is it you?
You fuck with my emotions
Maybe then you'll change your love
I try leaving you, but every time I do
You'll go and buy me roses
Maybe then you'll change your love

I'll pray that all of the flowers stop growing
So you'll find another way of showing me your love
