Desperate Times Call for Desperate Housewives
Roses and the world’s fading into black
Every tear that falls from your eyes,
I set a wish aside for you
As I start to notice
the color of roses
growing brighter every year
I watched you fade in a matter of seconds
Nothing lasts forever
but minutes can be fragile
Time flies in such a creative fashion
when it’s giving me nothing and everything
all at once
Solidarity but it leaves you ambivalent
Looking for the anger displaced
but it turns out your sitting in it
Withered roses and everything all at once
Turns out we’re all grasping at straws
One inch from death at any minute
Nothing lasts forever but seconds can be fragile
Thorns and the world’s condescending
Innocence created from the color that’s fading
from how much you shine
I couldn’t hurt you with my life on the line
I think you’re forgetting how much I love you
Pain returns in uncertain ways
I think you’re forgetting how much I love you
You’re a saint in my mind
I can’t lie
It’s fading away to the depths of my mind
Roses and the world is fading
Everything is darker from the way that you shine
Everyone can see that regret is in your rear-view mirror,
leaving a life of failed passions behind
You know I think the world of you
You’re simply forgetting how much I love you
I couldn’t be more honest with a gun to my head
I think you’re forgetting I could never hurt you
It’s fading away to the depths of my mind
I can’t lie
You know you’re a saint in my eyes
Everyone else is telling you lies
I think you’re forgetting how much I love you
Everyone else is telling you lies
I think you’re forgetting how much I love you
