great song, great band, can't say enough about these guys right now.
and i have to agree more with marjolein with a few additions...
in the first verse he is realizing what she is all about, that she is more or less just using him and doesn't feel the same way as he does, so in turn the roses (love altogether) lifts "its" head because he, the love, is realizing everything and is hopefully going to get out of this.
but then he goes on to say it is too late, he has too many feelings for her, although based on forged feelings from her to him, his feelings are still feelings nonetheless and he can't change it. he knows still what she is doing "so I'll waste these nights for a while" but he isn't willing to accept that "but I'll be holding onto you forever" he is too torn and broken to let go of all these feelings, so he believes he can still build something together with this girl.
so he keeps falling for everything once again, and as the happens, the roses dip there heads once again, as he is lost and not getting anywhere away from this whole ordeal with this girl, that is far from love.
great song, all in all she is just lying to him, and he is blinded by his own ambition for love to realize it, i love the roses metaphor, and especially how its sung...once again, great song.
