Between The Roses

　　Between The Roses - SayWeCanFly

　　If you ever feel like I did when you slip

　　between the cracks

　　Maybe then you'll see how nothing stays in tact

　　And when my life is over maybe

　　you can understand

　　That I planned everything,

　　but nothing went as planned

　　It's nothing personal, I just want you to know

　　I tried to understand

　　You tortured me with the silence in your throat

　　And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones

　　You kicked the chair from underneath my feet

　　You must have seen the noose made out of roses

　　that I wore to guarantee

　　That you couldn't go,

　　that you wouldn't leave me all alone

　　Cause if you did,you'd see my body hanging

　　[just above the floor

　　Beside a note,to tell the world how terrible it was

　　To fall in love with someone capable

　　of cutting out my tongue,

　　Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue

　　So did you just forget,

　　or do you really not remember

　　The bullets that we took

　　so we could stay alive forever

　　And did you just forget,

　　or do you really not remember

　　The poison that we drank,

　　so that at least we'd die together

　　It's comforting to fall asleep alone

　　And it's comforting because it's all I've ever known

　　If I should die before I wake

　　I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place

　　Between the roses, between the roses

　　Because the earth is only pretty for so long

　　Between the roses, between the roses

　　You were the only one I'll trust to sing along

　　To sing between the roses, sing my song

　　So did you just forget,

　　or do you really not remember

　　The bullets that we took

　　so we could stay alive forever

　　And did you just forget,

　　or do you really not remember

　　The poison that we drank,

　　so that at least we'd die together

　　As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy

　　We knew it was time, but I was not ready

　　To let you go, to say goodbye

　　To a love I thought would never die

　　You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad

　　As I kissed your lips with my regrets

　　In hopes that maybe we'd pretend

　　Forever never had to end

　　La, la, la, la, la

　　La, la, la, la, la la la la

　　That maybe we'd pretend

　　Our hope had died, but our love's not dead

　　So grab your black umbrella

　　and make your way down to the graveyard

　　Where you'll find the tree to which I tied this rope

　　And nothing is for certain,

　　that's the only thing I know

　　But I'm certain that it's time for me to go

　　It's nothing personal, it simply hurts to know

　　That I will be alone
