Roses lyrics
by Claude Kelly
[Verse 1]
Knock on the door, feeling it open
It wasn't you, why was I hoping?
Said it before and I'll say it again
That I'll always be here when you need a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I sat with you on my bedroom floor
And I couldn't move all that we were losing
I saw you like I never did before
I never did before
[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
I won't take you back
[Verse 2]
Cat got your tongue? It's been forever
Have you been good? Have you been better?
I've said it before and I'll say it again
That I'll always be here if you need a friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I sat with you on my bedroom floor
And I couldn't move all that we were losing
I saw you like I never did before
I never did before
[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
No, I won't take you back
[Bridge]
Burnt out cigarettes
Last year's silhouettes
Dancing in the dark
Love made in the park
Big black blossom tree
Baby, cover me
Hold the afterglow
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go
[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black
Ooh, ooh
No, I won't take you back
[Outro]
Burnt out cigarettes
Last year's silhouettes (No, I won't take you back)
Dancing in the dark
Love made in the park (No, I won't take you back)
Big black blossom tree
Baby, cover me (I won't take you back)
Hold the afterglow
Please don't let me go
