Roses
The Saints Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa
Yeah
Yeah
I've been waiting for the day that I finally get over you
Finally get over you
Cause it hurts to think about a life when you're not in it too
When you're not in it too
How did all of our dreams turn to nightmares
Yeah this life's not fair
Anytime you needed me I was right there
But now you're nowhere to be found oh
Cause I've been walking around
Feeling lost in the crowd
I just been wondering how
Whoa oh
We went from good and then bad
I thought we could but we can't
It's just the saddest thing to think that
You loved me
Now you love me not
I just need some closure cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I'm dying like these roses cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I just need some closure cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I'm dying like these roses
I've been waiting for the night that I finally get some rest in
Finally get some rest in
There's no peace when I sleep always hoping you would text me
Always hoping you would text me
I don't really have regrets only what ifs
Like what if we had never ended
Always thought we'd get to finish what we started
But I guess it wasn't meant to be cause
Cause I've been walking around
Feeling lost in the crowd
I just been wondering how
Whoa oh
We went from good and then bad
I thought we could but we can't
It's just the saddest thing to think that
You loved me
Now you love me not
I just need some closure cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I'm dying like these roses cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I just need some closure cause
You loved me
Now you love me not
I'm dying like these roses
Hmmm
I'm dying like these roses one by one




Hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
