[Verse 1]
I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had known for all my life
Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
[Verse 2]
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this
[Verse 3]
I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single effin' day
[Verse 4]
It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
This little fairytale doesn't seem to end well
There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from a spell
[PreChorus]
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one left to win this fight
[Chorus]
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
[Verse 5]
I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
[Verse 6]
I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
Want you to know that for eternity, I'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to
And in a prison of abandonment, I've jailed you
[Verse 7]
I never planned that I would leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
And all the times I swore that it would be okay
Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown in the fray
[Verse 8]
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
[PreChorus]
I know you lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But, baby, please don't do what I did
I don't want you to waste your life in vain
[Chorus]
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
[Bridge]
You're not the only one who needed me
I thought you understood
You were the one I needed
And you left me as I always feared you would
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn't matter how, the petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
[Outro]
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
