Rose Stained Red

lyrics

Hey, I've been thinking about yesterday
Now I just remembered how long it’s been
since the day we played

Here I’m here and it’s very clear that what is right is what I fear
But I believe someday we’ll be lazing peacefully underneath a tree
and I will smile and you will speak it’ll be like our hearts never missed a beat
Just when I leave promise to me you’ll leave your front door cracked just enough for me

Because I
left without ever saying goodbye
I didn’t even have time to thank your smile
for beauty and love and giving me life
Please let’s return before we
waste away

Look at me beneath this tree I won’t ever let free this last memory
I reenact the last supper of our bliss I leaned over the food and gave you one final kiss
Now there’s nothing left and my last breath secures the love that has sealed my death
Here revived we sit and this flower I pick to present to you
It’s a promising gift

Because I
left without ever saying goodbye
I didn’t even have time to thank your smile
for the beauty and love and giving me life
Please let’s return before we
waste away

A beautiful flower will wither and die if the neighboring weeds choke the struggling cry
for food and life and peace and soul
A rose stained red deserves little more
This haunted flower takes a tiny little breath
and then is crushed away and receives a painful death
But I believe you and me should return and live happily

Because I
left without ever saying goodbye
I didn’t even have time to thank your smile
for the beauty and love and giving me life
Please let’s return before we
waste away everything that makes us sane
That's the way
