A Dozen Roses

[emotionalstain]

A dozen roses is my final offer
Now I've come to take a stand
I won't sit around and wait forever
Now I've come to take your hand

We could sit around and watch the weather
Or spend the twilight drunk together
And count down the days until our bitter end
We could watch the fall of shooting stars
Through the eyes of strangers in unmarked cars
Who will never ever wake up again

Well I spent the last three months in my apartment
Tore the pages of our romance novel out
But the complicated nature of subject matter
And subtle use of plot and setting
Made it hard to throw out

Well I haven't slept since sometime last week
And I never feel like i'm on top
When even the record player keeps playing the same tunes
I'll be sitting in my room and I'm doing better now
Better than better could have never ever allowed

Would it kill you to care for another?
You know I can't always be around
I'd like to think we'd always have each other
But I won't lay back as you run me to the ground
You're running
So hard now
But you're just running to the ground
Our something
Is nothing
And now you're walking out

I guess I'm holding on too tightly
Sometimes you need to let it go
But when I dream about you nightly
It makes it hard for me to breath
The tightline is about to snap

You're lonely
I'm strung out
It's only moments to collapse
You're angry
I'm tired
We're falling further to the ground
You're betrayed
i'm broken
And now our time has run out
