Story Behind The Song
A friend of mine was in this situation with a girl and sent her 99 roses as a last goodbye. I thought it was a great title for a song so we wrote about it in a hotel room in Indonesia.

Lyrics
At first I thought I really knew you
But honey I can see right through you
It's such a shame to see you live this way.
Guess I wasn't enough for you
You're always caught up in what you do
Such a shame to end it all this way.
The game is over
A tear must drop
Instead of beginning
We just stopped.
Ninety nine roses my sweet love I sent, then I went
Ninety nine roses my last attempt, nothin' I regret
What's in your head?
I delete the past at last
Time is moving oh so fast
Six months from now I'll feel so free.
Whenever you think of me
Those ninety nine roses is all you'll see
I'ts time to move on and get over you.
The game is over
A tear must drop
Instead of beginning
We just stopped.
Ninety nine roses my sweet love I sent, then I went
Ninety nine roses my last attempt, nothin' I regret
What's in your head?
But baby I give it all to you
And you're givin it all away.
Baby I was so in love with you
Now listen to what I say.
