When You’re a Rose (Revisted)

[Verse 1]
Caught in a daze like a side street election
Reflections of shadows came in
And the roses gave him the time you neglected
Selecting your fair weathered friends

[Verse 2]
Walking away he won’t save any feelings
When the ceiling is always the floor
And the roses gave him the timeless feeling
You're not dealing with me anymore

[Chorus]
And that’s how it goes when you’re a rose
Just a thought of your own side
Garden secrets that you grow
Just gonna hang you out to dry

[Verse 3]
And over the years and the sequence of failures
Disasters where the heroes came in
And roses and tears were the secrets familiar
And the laughter foreshadows the end

[Chorus]
And that’s how it goes when you’re a rose
Just a thought of your own side
Garden secrets that you grow
Just gonna hang you out to dry
Just gonna hang you out to dry
Just gonna hang you out to dry
To dry
