Lyrics

ROSES AND WINE

You sent me pretty roses and you promised you were mine.
You said I was your baby and you toasted me with wine.
You told me I was perfect; I believed your words were true.
Those lies were so damn good, they?re all that?s left from lovin? you.

Chorus: Now I?m countin? dead roses and drinkin? stale wine,
Starin? off into space and rememberin? each line
That you whispered with kisses and love in your eyes?
And I?m left with dead roses, stale wine and surprise.

You had to break my heart with lies?you knew I?d surely fall.
I blame myself for trustin? you?I thought we had it all.
Now roses just remind me of a love affair that?s dead,
And drinkin? wine brings back the pain and goes right to my head.

Repeat chorus.

Bridge: I really was a fool to fall?but I never set you free.
I still remember everything that you once meant to me.

Those memories come crashing back with every sip I take.
The musty scent of roses only adds to my heartache.
I tell myself to let it go, I?m better off alone,
But then love?s agony attacks my flesh and blood and bone.

Repeat chorus.

Tag: Gonna find me a new man to love me and then
I?ll order fresh roses and drink wine again.
