[Intro]
Roses are dead, violets are too
No amount of flowers
Could bring me back to you
[Verse 1]
Crying in the parking lot
Begging for another shot
Baby, please forget-me-not (Ooh, woah, oh, yeah)
Pull yourself together boy
You're pathetic, I'm annoyed
Don't forget you made your choice (Ooh, ahh, mmm, mmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're stumbling and tumbling all over your words
Dig the grave a little deeper when you blame it on her
But you knew what you were doing, you know what you deserve
So come on babe, you know the words
[Chorus]
Roses are dead (Roses are dead), violets are too (Violets are too)
No amount of flowers, could bring me back to you (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
Can't buy my love (Can't buy my love)
There's nothing left to do (Nothing left to do)
Roses are dead (Hey)
You might as well be too (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
[Post-Chorus]
Roses, roses, roses
Roses, roses, roses
[Verse 2]
I ripped all of these petals off (Uh)
Do I hate you, do I not?
Wait, I think I do a lot (Ooh, woah, oh, yeah)
You could wine and dine me
You could buy me diamonds
You could try and cry me rivers, it won't be enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Done with the digging, you can shovel your dirt
You can take your new girl for a ride in the hearse
After everything I saw, everything that I heard (Uh)
The truth hurts, right?
[Chorus]
Roses are dead (Roses are dead), violets are too (Violets are too)
No amount of flowers (No amount of flowers), could bring me back to you (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
Can't buy my love (Can't buy my love)
There's nothing left to do (Nothing left to do)
Roses are dead (Hey)
You might as well be too (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
[Post-Chorus]
Roses, roses, roses
Roses, roses, roses (Roses)
Roses, roses, roses
Roses, roses, roses
[Bridge]
Bummer, you're just like the other guys (Other guys)
You were nothing but a thorn in my si-i-de
Fool me once, you'll sleep with open eyes (Open eyes)
You say you can't live without me
So then di-i-ie (Woo)
[Chorus]
Roses are dead (Roses are dead), violets are too (Violets are too)
No amount of flowers (No amount of flowers), could bring me back to you (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
Can't buy my love (Can't buy my love)
There's nothing left to do (Nothing left to do)
Roses are dead (Hey)
You might as well be too (Nah, nah, nah, nah)
[Outro]
Roses are dead, violets are too
No amount of flowers
Could bring me back to you
Roses are dead
Roses are dead
Roses are dead
Roses are dead
