Roses are dead, Violets are dying, I say I'm fine but inside I'm crying.

I look in my future and see everything yet nothing.

I have my dreams, though I'm still throbbing.

Why is that, I have no worries.

Roses are dead, Violets are dying, for I do not know I want to be a rose who is no longer hiding.

I have all I could want, though why do I feel as if I'm truthfully lying?

My heart was once full, but now it feels as if it could be breaking.

I have fortune and fame, so why are my colours fading?

Though I should be, my hand is no longer reaching.

Roses are dead, Violets are dying, I say I'm fine but inside I'm crying.
