[Verse 1]
When you lay in our bed does your new love sleep on my side?
Did how it end sit gentle or does it still keep you up at night?
Do you ever blame yourself for how I lost my mind?
Or do you shrug it off, say it is what is, and let it lie?

[Chorus]
Dead roses still have thorns, babe
And sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is just a flame
If we could see the changes come we'd all be better off
Instead I'll sit back and watch it fall apart
Like dead roses

[Verse 2]
You gotta break your heart to know what it needs
Examine the holes just to see how it bleeds
Well, I spent ten months in hell but I'm off my knees
And for the first time I know how it feels to finally be set free

[Chorus]
Dead roses still have thorns, babe
And sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is just a flame
If we could see the changes come we'd all be better off
Instead I'll sit back and watch it fall apart
Like dead roses

[Chorus]
Dead roses still have thorns, babe
And sometimes the light at the end of a tunnel is just a flame
If we could see the changes come we'd all be better off
Instead I'll sit back and watch it fall apart
Like dead roses
Like dead roses
