You've got lips of cherry chrome
I got a heart thats made of stone
I've been thinking
you should leave me
my sweet rose
my sweet rose
you don't need me as
much as you need your soul

We are the ones that fall apart
love can save your life
but it just breaks my heart
though I've tried I
can't destroy what I am
my sweet rose
my sweet rose
you don't need me as
much as you need you soul

You've got lips of cherry chrome
I've got a heart thats made of stone

my sweet rose

my sweet rose

my sweet rose

my sweet rose

you don't need me as
much as you need your soul

    Beautiful, beautiful. Pretty much my theme song. Strive for love, yet push it away.

    I can relate to this song. Loving someone but being afraid of not being able to offer them enough, scared you may have offered them nothing but broken promises.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
