Red Rose Left Burning
In the name of love
she makes the same old mistakes
every time he lies
but it's all the same
as she runs away with hopes
it'll work this time
Just to realize
love is whack in the heart of a woman
truly believing the lie of a man
he strips her of love
as she refuses to lie down and die
accepting a burning bleeding red rose
she stares at the stars
no longer evident in his dull eyes
wondering who is he saving them for
just to realize
In the name of love
she makes the same old mistakes
every time he lies
but it's all the same
as she runs away with hopes
it'll work this time
