Roses (Wilted)
Looking out the windows
Of the dreams that once were mine
All this time I've spent here
I watched the world go by
And now I've come to realize
There's only so much time
Wilting like the roses
That were planted in my mind
Break away from the mold that has taken shape
Moving on from my old ways
I came to terms with the worst days
And it's all the same I never thought I'd be face to face
With all my demons, I can't erase
The memories or the scars they've made
Second chances, best intentions
Bad romances, I've been reckless
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
Who I am isn't who I've been
Gotta take a stand, couldn't let this win
No more asking myself what I'm meant to do
Move on from my past it's time for something new
Second chances, best intentions
Bad romances, I've been reckless
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
Looking out the windows
At the roses in my mind
All this time I've spent here
I watched the world go by
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
Of the dreams that once were mine
All this time I've spent here
I watched the world go by
And now I've come to realize
There's only so much time
Wilting like the roses
That were planted in my mind
Break away from the mold that has taken shape
Moving on from my old ways
I came to terms with the worst days
And it's all the same I never thought I'd be face to face
With all my demons, I can't erase
The memories or the scars they've made
Second chances, best intentions
Bad romances, I've been reckless
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
Who I am isn't who I've been
Gotta take a stand, couldn't let this win
No more asking myself what I'm meant to do
Move on from my past it's time for something new
Second chances, best intentions
Bad romances, I've been reckless
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
Looking out the windows
At the roses in my mind
All this time I've spent here
I watched the world go by
And if I'm being honest with myself
Now it's time to put these old dreams up on the shelf
And if I'm being honest I'm not sure
How these lonely nights could bring me closer to closure
Left those roses on the floor
