Intro  (25”)
Facing floors, slamming doors
you know that you’re sick of
what you’ve felt so many times before
don’t know what it’s for, can’t take any more,
feel fed up but yet insecure 
so you say it’s ok, that it'll all change,
but you’ve got to face that he doesn’t
even taste the blame

Roses don’t make up for punches
and breakdowns
lies and excuses and verbal abuse
shut up, shut up
he tells you to quiet down
shut up, shut up
screaming why’d you have to make me do it

His eyes say he’ll do it again
don’t try to deny what they’re saying
you’ve seen it before
leave him be, set yourself free
 
Cause though it feels great to pretend
It’s all just a matter of when
you’ve felt it before
leave him be, set your self free

Short on luck and it sucks
but to make it stop
you have got to realize that right now
your stuck
cause when it gets rough
and you’ve had enough
you put it on yourself and try to stay tough
you say its ok that it’ll all change
but you’ve got to face
that he doesn’t even taste the blame

Roses don’t make up for punches
and breakdowns
lies and excuses and verbal abuse
shut up, shut up
he tells you to quiet down
shut up, shut up
screaming why’d you have to make me do it

His eyes say he’ll do it again
don’t try to deny what they’re saying
you’ve seen it before
leave him be, set yourself free
Set yourself free

Roses don’t make up for punches
and breakdowns
lies and excuses and verbal abuse
Wake up, wake up
You seen it before
Leave it be
Set yourself free

Cause though it feels great to pretend
It’s all just a matter of when
you’ve felt it before
leave him be, set your self free
