Roses are red

Violets are blue

Why the hell

Did I give my heart to you

You used it

Made it into your toy

I should've known not to trust you,

You stupid boy

You gave me roses on our first date

Said they weren't as beautiful as me

You said you saw something

That I couldn't see

You gave me roses after one month

Said you would never let me go

Smiled at me softly

And kissed me in the snow

You gave me roses after six months

Said that day was an important date

You told me you loved me

But that memory fills me with hate

You gave me roses

On the night I gave myself to you

But similar to violets

These roses were blue

You gave me a violet

The day you decided to leave me alone without saying a word

But in that silence

Was every word that I'd never heard

Maybe someday you'll give me another rose

If I end it tonight and be brave

Maybe you'll give me one last rose

As you lay it on my grave
