[Verse 1]
Red roses on the kitchen counter
Yeah I put ’em in a vase, before you walked away
And there’s whiskey stains on the coffee table
I guess I wasn’t able to be enough for you
Enough for me, enough for us
Everything that never was, will never be
No, no, no, will never be
Yeah, I hate to see your flowers fading, withering away
If everything I didn’t say
[Chorus]
Babe, you gave me everything I wantеd
Took it for granted, didn’t give it no second thought and
I was stuck just going through thе motions
I wish I would’ve noticed
Now I’m left with dead roses, dead roses
[Verse 2]
Well you sound like a song and look like a movie
Reckless love in all it’s beauty
Leave it to you to run away
Leave it to me to know it’s too late
Oh, it’s too late
[Chorus]
Babe, you gave me everything I wanted
Took it for granted, didn’t give it no second thought and
I was stuck just going through the motions
I wish I would’ve noticed
Now I’m left with dead roses, dead roses
[Post-Chorus]
Dead roses
Dead roses
Dead roses
Dead roses
[Outro]
Dead roses on the kitchen counter
Still keep ‘em in a vase
And I water them anyway
