Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest,
White is cold and always yearning, burdened by the royal test,
Black the beast descends from shadows,
Yellow beauty burns gold.

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute.
Couldn't bear another day without you in it.
All of the joy that I had known for all my life,
Was stripped away the minute that you died.
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted.
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted.
Cant help but feel that I had taken you for granted.
No way in [bad word] that I can [bad word] this!

I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone,
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong!
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single effing day!
It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending,
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending.
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well,
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell!

I know you didn't plan this,
You tried to do what's right!
But in the middle of this madness,
I'm the one (x3) left to win this fight!

Red like roses,
Fills my head with dreams and finds me!
Always closer,
To the emptiness and sadness that [bad word] to take the place of you!

I know you're broken down, my anger and my sadness.
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness.
Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute,
Make you understand the reasons why I did it!
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered,
Want you to know that for eternity, I'm shattered,
I tried so hard to still protect you but I failed to,
And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you!

I never planned that I would leave you there alone,
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home.
And all the times I swore that it would be okay,
Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray!
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after,
The pages are torn and there's no final chapter.
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do,
I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you!

I know you lived a nightmare,
I caused you so much pain!
But baby please don't do what I did,
I don't want(x3) you to end your life in vain!

Red like roses,
Fills my head with dreams and finds me!
Always closer,
To the emptiness and sadness that [bad word] to take the place of you!

You're not the only one who needed me, I thought you understood!
You were the one I needed and you left me as I always feared you would!
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn't matter how!
The petals scatter now!
Every nightmare just discloses,
It's your blood that's red like roses,
And no matter what I do,
Nothing ever takes the place of you!

Red like roses,
Fills my head with dreams and finds me!
Always closer,
To the emptiness and sadness that [bad word] to take the place,
Of,
You!
