Dead Roses

Last night I tossed and turned
A new lesson has been learned
When you're this close to the fire
You can't help getting burned
Thought you were different, thought it was great
I started thinking but much too late
And by the time figured it out
There was nowhere I could turn

You gave me roses, but now they're dead
Dead like the love you threw away
I'd like to laugh, but I'll cry instead
And start another lonely day

I should have waited more
But this time, I felt so sure
When you put your arms around me
And I was wrapped inside
Thought you were different, thought it was great
I started thinking but much too late
And by the time figured it out
There was nowhere I could hide

You gave me roses, but now they're dead
Dead like the love you threw away
I'd like to laugh, but I'll cry instead
And start another lonely day

And I still can't believe
The things you said to me
And how I fell for every line
But if I take my time
I know that I will find
Someone who'll never say goodbye

Someone who'll never say goodbye

Though I know that I have said these words before
It doesn't mean that they don't matter anymore
But if I take my time
And I don't lose my mind
I'll find someone worth waiting for
Oh-ho ho-ho-ho
