Black Roses

by Romancing the Darker Side   Apr 15, 2007


I hand you this black rose
Is it coming back now?
Is it coming back now?
You tried to escape us
I guess you really hate us
And were afraid to face the truth

The night of the accident
Is it because of me?
Is it because of me?
A gun and a failure
Suicide was an option
But you didn't let go then

I hand you this black rose
Is it coming back now?
Is it coming back now?
You tried to escape us
I guess you really hate us
And were afraid to face the truth

The flashing lights and sirens
Didn't rehab work?
Didn't rehab work?
I visited you so much
But you just gave up
And went back to your normal ways

I hand you this black rose
Is it coming back now?
Is it coming back now?
You tried to escape us
I guess you really hate us
And were afraid to face the truth

Black roses, are they yours?
Do they go on your casket?
Do they go on your casket?
You made an escape plan
Went to different states and
Came back to tell us wrong

I handed you that black rose
Was it coming back then?
Was it coming back then?
You tried to escape us
I guess you really hated us
And now you're dead and gone
