[Verse 1]
I used to love it when roses would come
The card always read, "You're my number 1"
But love never goes the way one supposes
And I will forever hate roses
You sent me roses, I thought it was nice
Opened the card and it read, "goodbye"
You're moving on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses

[Verse 2]
I'll never see a rose from now on
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Don't trust the rose for the danger it poses
I will forever hate roses

[Verse 3]
The fragrance of roses will last throughout time
Their beauty will linger, but not in my mind
No, I'll love the daisies, the tulips, the posies
But I will forever hate roses

[Verse 4]
And I'll never see a rose from now on
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Oh, and don't trust the rose for the pain it imposes
I will forever hate roses
Now you're moving on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses
Yes, I will forever hate roses
