[Intro]
Love my enemies, love my enemies, oh, oh
Makin' love to the enemy, makin’ love to the enemy, oh, oh, oh
[Refrain]
Roses, roses I sent, they forever died, oh
Chosen, frozen, livin' in paradise, woah
[Verse]
I've been possessed, they wanna take my soul
Save my flesh, I’m in need of your love
Tracin' back to orbit is where we met, met
You wasn't considerate to how I was feelin', yeah
How am I explain this to my children?
I need to find the words without soundin' foolish
Caught in temporary illusions, yeah
Treat me like property, but you pursuin'
I need angels, I need angels, yeah
I need answers, who I can't trust?
Fighting through breakups, revelation
Complicated obligations
[Refrain]
Roses, roses I sent, they forever died, oh
Chosen, frozen, livin' in paradise, woah
[Outro]
Love thy enemy
Walk through the valley of the shadow of death, oh, oh
