Saywecanfly - Between The Roses Lyrics
If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracksMaybe then you’ll see how nothing stays in tactAnd when my life is over maybe you can understandThat I planned everything, but nothing went as plannedIt’s nothing personal, I just want you to knowI tried to understandYou tortured me with the silence in your throatAnd you tortured me with the stillness in your bonesYou kicked the chair from underneath my feetYou must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guaranteeThat you couldn’t go, that you wouldn’t leave me all aloneCause if you did, you’d see my body hanging just above the floorBeside a note, to tell the world how terrible it wasTo fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongueSo did you just forget, or do you really not rememberThe bullets that we took so we could stay alive foreverAnd did you just forget, or do you really not rememberThe poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die togetherIt’s comforting to fall asleep aloneAnd it’s comforting because it’s all I’ve ever knownIf I should die before I wakeI pray to God my soul will find a peaceful placeBetween the roses, between the rosesBecause the earth is only pretty for so longBetween the roses, between the rosesYou were the only one I’ll trust to sing alongTo sing between the roses, sing my songSo did you just forget, or do you really not rememberThe bullets that we took so we could stay alive foreverAnd did you just forget, or do you really not rememberThe poison that we drank, so that at least we’d die togetherAs the sun went down, our hearts were heavyWe knew it was time, but I was not readyTo let you go, to say goodbyeTo a love I thought would never dieYou were quiet as hell and you looked so sadAs I kissed your lips with my regretsIn hopes that maybe we’d pretendForever never had to endLa, la, la, la, laLa, la, la, la, la la la laThat maybe we'd pretendOur hope had died, but our love’s not deadSo grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyardWhere you’ll find the tree to which I tied this ropeAnd nothing is for certain, that’s the only thing I knowBut I’m certain that it’s time for me to goIt’s nothing personal, it simply hurts to knowThat I will be alone
