Roses
Spire & The Marphoi Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, it's beautiful
How a single drop can be so hard
Hey, it's strange you know
When you feel alone even if you're not
I can see your place in the fog
I don't wanna shiver
Let me in
Please don't leave me here in the cold
When I'm so afraid
I will do whatever they say
So just take me out of the cold
Say it's all my fault
I hide my eyes with boring roses
Say, you don't want me to
Open your door, help us through this
I can't live without you
You say that I'm stupid
Please go away
Things you say are always the same
You may be so afraid
But I won't do whatever you say
So have fun with your boring roses
Oh my darling can you see
What I say to you
I leave you here boring roses




For you
(end)
