Red Roses Lyrics
Why does it have
To hurt so much
To live without
Your gentle touch
Why did i think
That I'd be okay
When you got up
And walked away
I can't get your face out of my mind
I'm thinking of you
All the time
Then at night you're in my sleep
Come morning alone
Again I weep
When I awake
I see you crying
Without you here
I feel I'm drying
I tell myself
I'm just a fool
My heart is the master
I am the tool
Drunk with love baby
What can i do
I'd treat you well
i"m right for you
It's too late now
You're gone forever
Now we'll never be together
I look at your cards
Your eyes met mine
I thought I'd forget you
And be just fine
But the thought of
You isn't misleading
And my heart just
Goes on bleeding
Why does love never
Work in my favor
Maybe it would have
Had I been braver
Maybe if I just approached and said hello
But I guess now I'll never know
Now I'm stuck here cutting all my losses
While my mind sends you red roses
To hurt so much
To live without
Your gentle touch
Why did i think
That I'd be okay
When you got up
And walked away
I'm thinking of you
All the time
Then at night you're in my sleep
Come morning alone
Again I weep
I see you crying
Without you here
I feel I'm drying
I tell myself
I'm just a fool
My heart is the master
I am the tool
What can i do
I'd treat you well
i"m right for you
It's too late now
You're gone forever
Now we'll never be together
Your eyes met mine
I thought I'd forget you
And be just fine
You isn't misleading
And my heart just
Goes on bleeding
Why does love never
Work in my favor
Maybe it would have
Had I been braver
Maybe if I just approached and said hello
But I guess now I'll never know
While my mind sends you red roses

I actually wrote the lyrics to this song as a poem, and Daniel and I met through a mutual friend who ran a poetry site. He asked if he could use them in a song, and I said yes... he modified them slightly, but they're quite incorrect here.
Here is the original poem:
