Roses

Red and white, checkout line
Did they have to do this to me?
Almost made it out with just a bottle of wine
Single year, dozen there
Doesn't make a difference
Because every pedal on the floor reminds me of why

I don't go out with hopes up of meeting someone
I don't mix drinks with wishing I'll find what I won't

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Know I could, know I should add a little color
And try to make this empty house feel like home
Yeah, but what's it worth?
Nobody sees, nobody's coming over
And just like me, they'll just sit in this living room alone

Oh, I'm better off broken
Keeps me out of danger
I don't call up old numbers and gift mine to strangers

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Oh, tonight
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
