Black Roses Lyrics

I can see your eyes staring into mine

But it's a battlefield, and I'm on the other side

You can throw your words sharper than a knife

And leave me cold in another house on fire

I lay low, lay low

And watch the bridges burn

I lay low, lay low

What more could I have done

Now you only bring me black roses

And they crumble into dust when they're held

Now you only bring me black roses

Under your spell

She told me twice all of her good advice

But I couldn't see, I was clouded by your lies

Up in smoke, a vision she foretold

She said stay away because that boy's a warning sign

I lay low, lay

And watch the bridges burn

Now you only bring me black roses

And they crumble into dust when they're held

Now you only bring me black roses

Under your spell

And I'm done being the one

Trying to pick up the broken pieces

And I'm done being the one

Who says, "I love you, dear, but I'm leaving"

Now you only bring me black roses

And they crumble into dust when they're held

Now you only bring me black roses

But I'm not under your spell

I'm not under your spell (x4)
