The Red In My Eyes Is From the Rose That I Missed

Nothings new with me I’m just falling again On this vice that I carry It seems like my only friend The patches on my heart Hold together in a pinch But the red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed What I didn’t pick hurts me It’s like it’s thorn found a home A blessing gone unanswered Leaves me feeling alone While love still lingers I search for a fix The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed What once was white Like when we were just friends Has turned into something I can’t comprehend It’s love but I’m lonely As I look in the mirror Hoping that someday We’ll both see so much clearer The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed The wanting and yearning From one long gone lost kiss If I had to write it You’re be on top of my list The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed I’m drinkin tonight Here I am once again Gluttony relieves Yet it’s still a sin I’m goin down a long road In search of the gift The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed I’ve longed to hold you And share in a kiss The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed The red in my eyes Is from the rose that I missed
