dozen roses

There's a man across the street
Wears collared shirts
Loves whiskey neat after dinner
He's got emerald eyes that shine
Just bright enough to dull the ring on his finger
I was meant to steal his heart
I can see us in the stars as clear as day
There's just a couple little things that are annoyingly getting in the way

And my mama always told me
All is fair in love, and I should
Never be afraid to fight and
Shed a little blood, cause he's my
Medicine, my everything
My angel from above, the
Only reason why I've done
The things I've done

I mailed a dozen roses
To my future husband
Humming to the music
Hearing his wife cry
She'll curse at us from hell
As I'm unbuckling his belt
I watch him through the window
Hand between my thighs
He knows he has my heart
If he forgets, I've carved
Our initials in his front door
With my kitchen knife
I'm counting down the days
Til the ugly voices fade
Such a picture perfect family
Baby you and I

I don't know how you ever chose her
It's clear she doesn't know you like I do
She's a liability
The villain in
Our love story
Baby you know it's true
I see the sweat run down your cheek
So out of breath,
I know you're thinking of me
And I'll do everything I can
To keep you close
Make us a beautiful reality

And I'm trying to save you from
Something that you don't wanna keep
I listen quiet in the confessional
As you're talking in your sleep
I believe that at the end of it
Our true love will prevail
I know that once I slay the dragon
He'll be grateful that I

I mailed a dozen roses
To my future husband
Humming to the music
Hearing his wife cry
She'll curse at us from hell
As I'm unbuckling his belt
I watch him through the window
Hand between my thighs
He knows he has my heart
If he forgets, I've carved
Our initials in his front door
With my kitchen knife
I'm counting down the days
Til the ugly voices fade
Such a picture perfect family
Baby you and I

And I'm sharpening my kitchen knife
The judgement day has come
We'll leave those siren songs behind
While we're in love and on the run
But god forbid you make the wrong choice
No matter what you'll see
That someone will be sorry and you know it won't be me

I mailed a dozen roses
To my future husband
Humming to the music
Hearing his wife cry
She'll curse at us from hell
As I'm unbuckling his belt
I watch him through the window
Hand between my
He knows he has my heart
If he forgets, I've carved
Our initials in his front door
With my kitchen knife
I'm counting down the days
Til the ugly voices fade
Such a picture perfect family, oh
Baby you and I

Oh, I need you baby, I
Oh, I need you baby, I
Oh, I need you baby
Baby, you and I
