In Expense Of Roses
Do you know how it feels
To force yourself to stay away
Deny yourself
Phone calls and texts
Just to keep the big bad at bay

Ran over the roses
Crying inside
Laughing out

Could you care any less
Pretend your hearts not a mess
That a touch meant nothing
And a kiss was a lie
Don’t care that u hurt me
Just to keep your head held high

Ran over the roses
Starting new
Threw us out
Rain over the roses
Wanting more
Made you doubt

Turn your eyes from your patterns
Sleep sound with your ways
And Your skies are barren
You wouldn’t let the stars stay
Load your trauma in a barrel
Aimed at anyone who cares
Don’t care about your victims
In the mirror the truth stares

The truth stares

Ran over the roses
Starting new
Threw us out
Ran over the roses
Wanting more
Made you doubt

And one day
I hope
My heart
Learns
To stop
