I am trying to read your mind

We have stopped to smell the roses

I am trying not to lose mine

The roses or my mind

You are going to break my heart

I can see it in your eyes and I can

Feel it when the rain starts

Falling with my heart

I will watch the rain fall harder

I will stay and you will go

I won't beg and I won't barter

I won't say I told you so

Oh oh

You are stringing me along

You'll pretend that you're not going

And there's another song

And this is better after all

I will keep the holy sweater

Tend the roses when the leaves fall

It's better after all

I will watch the rain fall harder

I will stay and you will go

I won't beg and I won't barter

I won't say I told you so

Oh oh

I am trying to read your mind

You are going to break my heart

You are stringing me along

And this is better after all

Yeah this is better after all

It's better after all
