I couldn't take it

Couldn't stand another minute

Couldn't bear another day

Without you in it

All of the joy

That I had known

For all my life

Was stripped away from

Me the minute that you died

To have you in my

Life was all I ever wanted

But now without you

I'm a soul forever haunted

Can't help but feel

That I had taken

You for granted

No way in hell

That I can ever

Comprehend this

I wasn't dreaming

When they told me

You we're gone

I was wide awake and

Felling that they

Had to be wrong

How could you leave

Me when you swore that

You would stay?

Now I'm trapped inside a

Nightmare every single f*ing day

It's like a movie but

There's not a happy ending

Every scene fades black

And there's no pretending

This little fairy tale doesn't

Seem to end well

There's no knight in shining

Armor who will wake me from

The spell

I know you didn't plan this

You tried to do what's right

But in the middle of this madness

I'm the one you left to win this fight

(Chours)

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you

(Verse 2)

I know you're broken

Down by anger and by sadness

You feel I left you in a

World that's full of madness

Wish I can talk to you if

Only for a minute

Make you understand the

Reasons why I did it

I wanna tell you that you're that

Ever mattered

Want you to know

That for eternity I'm shattered

I tried so hard just to

Protect you but I failed to

And in a prison of

Abandonment I've jailed you

I never planned that I would

Leave you there alone

I was sure that I would see

You when I made it back home

And all the times I swore that

It would be okay

Now I'm nothing but a liar

And you're thrown into the fray

This bedtime story ends with

Misery ever after

The pages are torn and there's

No final chapter

I didn't have a choice I did what I
Had to do

I made a sacrifice but forced

A bigger sacrifice on you

I know you've lived a nightmare

I caused you so much pain

But baby please don't do what I did

I don't want you to

Waste your life in vain

(Chorus)

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you

(Verse 3)

You're not the only one

Who needed

I thought you understood

You we're the one I needed

And you left me as I always fear you would

Would I change it if I could?

It doesn't matter how

The petals scatter now

Every nightmare just discloses

It's your blood that's red like roses

And no matter what I do

Nothing ever takes the place of you

(Chorus)

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you
