Rose on the bedside

From when I told her those three words

It's seen better days

Still so still it lays next to her

She tells him "no shoes on the carpet"

They stumble upstairs

She wants to be wanted

But nobody cares

Her body's an object, love's just an emotion

Now she's getting upset, Her eyes bring the ocean

She's tired of waiting for someone who ain't there

She got too complacent, he brushes her hair

She starts to give in now, pushes the air out of her lungs

And now she's taking off her clothes

For somebody she don't know

And I'm alone again

He spots a single rose

He picks it up and blows the petals off the stem

And as the petals hit the ground

To the hollow sound of love's last goodbye

She takes a look around, up

& down, and why even try?

She's taking off her clothes

For somebody she don't know

And I'm alone again

He spots a single rose

He picks it up and blows the petals off the stem

And as the petals hit the ground, I take a look around

And I don't see you

And as I hear the hollow sound, tears are falling down

Cause I still need you

Rose on the bedside

From when I told her those three words
