Roses on Fire

Oh it's four am
And you're still on my mind
Time keeps ticking
I won't be sleeping tonight
I'm playing all the stories
The memories, the melodies
I need to stop compulsively hitting rewind
But here at four am
I can't sleep, haven't slept in days
Maybe I just made myself believe
You are better than my dreams
But when I asked you to make me feel something
Other than this feeling I've been feeling
I didn't mean, I didn't mean heartbreak

Roses on fire
Liquor in the bathroom
It's just desire
I don't really want you
So stop poisoning my brain
How many roses will it take
How many petals will have to burn
So that I can forget your name
You're the broken record
Playing the best part of the song
Over and over
Forget the bad and fall in love
Cause there's no pushing through
When the barrier is you
So keep poisoning my brain
After all they say love is pain

If I turn off all the lights
Lay there in the dark
Will you give me back my mind
Or is this your work of art?
And oh I knew, you knew
What you were doing
Now everything reminds me of you
My heart skips beats as the blood is overflowing
At the slightest scent of your perfume

Roses on fire
Liquor in the bathroom
It's just desire
I don't really want you
So stop poisoning my brain
How many roses will it take?
How many petals will have to burn
So that I can forget your name
You're the broken record
Playing the best part of the song
Over and over
Forget the bad and fall in love
Cause there's no pushing through
When the barrier is you
So keep poisoning my brain
After all they say love is pain
Love is pain

Why do you have to be
The record of my memory
The VHS tape stuck in my brain
Cause now I'm quarantined
There's no escape for me
I'll lay here at midnight
Watching the repetitive scenes
From what we used to be
Our romantic comedy
Can you not just leave me be
To deal with past you and me
I need the sleep
Let me dream since my dreams
Are now better than reality

So don't mind me
I'll keep hitting rewind
Can't sleep, haven't slept in days
I hope that you don't mind when I don't fight
The poison you're injecting in my brain
I'll just light another rose
Cause we're roses on fire
Liquor in the bathroom
It's just desire
I don't really want you
So I'll just light another rose
I'll just light another rose
I'll light another rose on fire
