[ti:Red like roses II] |
| [00:00.48] |
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute |
| [00:02.61] |
Couldn't bear another day without you in it |
| [00:05.00] |
All of the joy that I had known for all my life |
| [00:07.29] |
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died |
| [00:09.58] |
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted |
| [00:12.31] |
But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted |
| [00:14.19] |
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted |
| [00:16.42] |
No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this |
| [00:18.71] |
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone |
| [00:20.74] |
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong |
| [00:23.33] |
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay |
| [00:25.36] |
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day |
| [00:28.05] |
It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending |
| [00:30.04] |
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending |
| [00:32.35] |
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well |
| [00:34.43] |
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell |
| [00:37.53] |
I know you didn't plan this |
| [00:42.15] |
You tried to do what's right |
| [00:46.47] |
But in the middle of this madness |
| [00:50.12] |
I'm the one you left to win this fight |
| [01:04.25] |
Red like roses |
| [01:08.46] |
Fills my head with dreams and finds me |
| [01:13.67] |
Always closer |
| [01:17.53] |
To the emptiness and sadness |
| [01:19.66] |
That has come to take the place of you |
| [01:22.86] |
I know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness |
| [01:24.99] |
You feel I left you in a world that’s full of madness |
| [01:27.33] |
Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute |
| [01:29.51] |
Make you understand the reasons why I did it |
| [01:32.35] |
I wanna tell you that you’re all that ever mattered |
| [01:34.33] |
Want you to know that for eternity i’m shattered |
| [01:36.41] |
I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to |
| [01:38.75] |
And in a prison of abandonment i’ve jailed you |
| [01:41.08] |
I never planned that I would leave you there alone |
| [01:43.02] |
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home |
| [01:45.56] |
And all the times I swore that it would be okay |
| [01:47.94] |
Now i’m nothing but a liar that’s been thrown into the fray |
| [01:50.33] |
This bedtime story isn’t ‘misery ever after’ |
| [01:52.26] |
The pages are torn and there’s no final chapter |
| [01:54.55] |
I didn’t have a choice, I did what I had to do |
| [01:56.89] |
I made a sacrifice and forced a bigger sacrifice on you |
| [01:59.83] |
I know you lived a nightmare |
| [02:04.40] |
I caused you so much pain |
| [02:08.72] |
But, baby, please don’t do what I did |
| [02:12.89] |
I don’t want you to waste your life in vain |
| [02:26.57] |
Red like roses |
| [02:30.73] |
Fills my head with dreams and finds me |
| [02:35.46] |
Always closer |
| [02:39.77] |
To the emptiness and sadness |
| [02:42.33] |
that has come to take the place of you |
| [02:45.48] |
You’re not the only one who needed me I thought you understood |
| [02:49.60] |
You were the one I needed and you left me and I always feared you would |
| [02:54.17] |
Would I change it if I could? |
| [02:58.13] |
It doesn’t matter how. |
| [03:00.32] |
The petals scattered now. |
| [03:02.81] |
Every nightmare does disclose this. |
| [03:04.89] |
It’s your birth that’s red like roses, |
| [03:07.17] |
And no matter what I do, |
| [03:09.98] |
Nothing ever takes the place of you |
| [03:39.69] |
Red like roses |
| [03:43.86] |
Fills my head with dreams and finds me |
| [03:48.73] |
Always closer |
| [03:52.90] |
To the emptiness and sadness |
| [03:55.04] |
that has come to take the place of you |
