When the Roses Die
Exxocet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now the hours are passing by
And still I try to understand why
I'm standing alone at the candlelight
Waitin' for you to make things right
But now our promises die
Is our love still alive?
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day and night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die, die
It's been a long time since we first met
Years of love turned into loneliness
For the laughter n' tears I'll stand
Like a bird in a stormy sky
I can play your game but I just can't fight
I've read every line in your eyes
Girl, believe in something
I'll love you 'till the end of time
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die
And I know I'm not the perfect man
But I'd walk a million miles
Just to taste your kiss in one last goodbye
Yeah
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die
(Wake me up when the roses die)
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
And if it's time to say goodbye
You'd give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I thought that you'd be here tonight
I expected you to be here with me tonight
But now the hours are passing by
Time is moving forward, but you're still not here
And still I try to understand why
I'm still trying to figure out why you're not here
I'm standing alone at the candlelight
I'm standing alone in a romantic setting, waiting for you
Waitin' for you to make things right
I'm waiting for you to come and fix whatever is wrong between us
But now our promises die
Our promises to each other are fading away
Babe, tell me something
I need you to communicate with me
Is our love still alive?
I'm questioning whether our love is still alive
Wake me up when the roses die
Let me know when it's over
It's been so hard through day and night
It's been difficult for me all the time
But if it's time to say goodbye
If it's really over between us
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
I'll pray for another chance to make things work between us
It's been a long time since we first met
We've known each other for a long time now
Years of love turned into loneliness
We used to be in love, but now we're lonely
For the laughter n' tears I'll stand
I'll be here for all the good and bad times
Like a bird in a stormy sky
I feel lost and alone, like a bird in a stormy sky
I can play your game but I just can't fight
I can try to go along with what you want, but I can't keep fighting for something that may not work
I've read every line in your eyes
I understand your emotions without you having to speak them
Girl, believe in something
Believe in us, don't give up hope
I'll love you 'til the end of time
My love for you is eternal
And I know I'm not the perfect man
I recognize that I have flaws
But I'd walk a million miles
I would do anything for you
Just to taste your kiss in one last goodbye
I want to share one last kiss with you before we go our separate ways
(Wake me up when the roses die)
Remind me when it's over
Yeah, yeah, yeah
