Black Roses

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 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 'cause that boy's a warning sign

I, lay low, lay low 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 trying to be the one picking up the broken pieces
And I'm done trying to be 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
I'm not under your spell
I'm not under your spell
I'm not under your spell
