Red Like Roses Part II Instrumental

[00:09.37] I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute

[00:11.61] Couldn't bear another day without you in it

[00:13.87] All of the joy that I had known for all my life

[00:16.12] Was stripped away from me the minute that you died

[00:18.89] To have you in my life was all I ever wanted

[00:21.13] But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted

[00:22.87] Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted

[00:25.12] No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this

[00:27.87] I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone

[00:29.87] I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong

[00:32.11] How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?

[00:33.88] Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day

[00:36.87] It's like a movie, but there's not a happy ending

[00:38.62] Every scene fades black, and there's no pretending

[00:41.14] This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well

[00:43.37] There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell

[00:46.88] I know you didn't plan this

[00:50.14] You tried to do what's right

[00:55.12] But in the middle of this madness

[00:58.87] I'm the one (I'm the one, I'm the one)

[01:03.62] You left to win this fight

[01:12.87] Red like roses

[01:17.37] Fills my head with dreams and finds me

[01:22.36] Always closer

[01:26.39] To the emptiness and sadness

[01:28.63] That has come to take the place of you

[01:32.13] I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness

[01:34.12] You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness

[01:36.14] Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute

[01:38.37] Make you understand the reasons why I did it

[01:41.13] I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered

[01:43.12] Want you to know that, for eternity, I'm shattered

[01:45.38] I tried so hard just to protect you, but I failed to

[01:47.63] And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you

[01:50.13] I never planned that I would leave you there alone

[01:51.87] I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home

[01:54.63] And all the times I swore that it would be okay

[01:56.12] Now I'm nothing but a liar, and you're thrown into the fray

[01:58.62] This bedtime story ends with misery ever after

[02:00.91] The pages are torn, and there's no final chapter

[02:03.37] I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do

[02:05.62] I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you

[02:08.89] I know you've lived a nightmare

[02:12.88] I caused you so much pain

[02:17.36] But, baby, please don't do what I did

[02:21.38] I don't want (I don't want, I don't want)

[02:25.62] You to waste your life in vain

[02:35.38] Red like roses

[02:39.63] Fills my head with dreams and finds me

[02:44.62] Always closer

[02:48.63] To the emptiness and sadness

[02:51.12] That has come to take the place of you

[02:54.13] You're not the only one who needed me; I thought you understood

[02:58.36] You were the one I needed, and you left me as I always feared you would

[03:03.13] Would I change it if I could?

[03:06.88] It doesn't matter how

[03:09.13] The petals scatter now

[03:11.38] Every nightmare just discloses

[03:13.62] It's your blood that's red like roses

[03:16.13] And no matter what I do

[03:18.12] Nothing ever takes the place of you

[03:48.62] Red like roses

[03:52.62] Fills my head with dreams and finds me

[03:57.65] Always closer

[04:01.87] To the emptiness and sadness

[04:04.13] That has come to take the place of you
