[Verse 1]
Think about your lips and the way they kiss
There's so much I really miss about you
Sitting on the beach, you were still in reach
And I haven't felt free without you
[Pre-Chorus]
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need
[Chorus]
So I lay a dozen roses
For the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices
Even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you, mmm
[Verse 2]
You've been on my mind every single night
I can't visualize life without you
I've been tryin' to go a week without losing sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the memories feel like magic

All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need
[Chorus]
So I lay a dozen roses
For the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices
Even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
So I lay a dozen roses
For the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices
Even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, lows and highs
I share them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you

This could be musical theatre, to be quite honest. But I thought after ‘Dance (’Til You Love Someone Else)’, which is so dramatic, I wanted to shift the album. It would still be dramatic, but in a ballad way. [Norwegian LA-based production team] Stargate and I wrote this, and we gave it to Céline Di...
