Red Rose
red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like the day
you tossed me aside
and as the petals start to die
so do i
so i keep my eyes open
not allwoing tears to fall
i hold back the pain im feeling
i cant let myself crash
atleast not
not infront of you
but look at you
look harder into your eyes
go deeper down inside
tell me what you want me to know
tell me so i can stop the thoughts in my head
tell me so i can let everything die
so everything can be dead as you and me
well as dead as you claim it to be
oh red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like the day
you tossed me aside
and as the petals start to die
so do i
and this time i know
i know its the last time
the last time i could ever call you mine
well you knew
yeah you knew it from the start
and still you reeled in my heart
just to
just to tear it all apart
but i guess
well i guess its all my fault
red rose lying on the water
red rose withering away
just like my heart
