[00:00.48]I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
[00:02.61]Couldn't bear another day without you in it
[00:05.00]All of the joy that I had known for all my life
[00:07.29]Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
[00:09.58]To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
[00:12.31]But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted
[00:14.19]Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
[00:16.42]No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this
[00:18.71]I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
[00:20.74]I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
[00:23.33]How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay
[00:25.36]Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day
[00:28.05]It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
[00:30.04]Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
[00:32.35]This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
[00:34.43]There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
[00:37.53]I know you didn't plan this
[00:42.15]You tried to do what's right
[00:46.47]But in the middle of this madness
[00:50.12]I'm the one you left to win this fight
[01:04.25]Red like roses
[01:08.46]Fills my head with dreams and finds me
[01:13.67]Always closer
[01:17.53]To the emptiness and sadness
[01:19.66]That has come to take the place of you
[01:22.86]I know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness
[01:24.99]You feel I left you in a world that’s full of madness
[01:27.33]Wish I could talk to you if only for a minute
[01:29.51]Make you understand the reasons why I did it
[01:32.35]I wanna tell you that you’re all that ever mattered
[01:34.33]Want you to know that for eternity i’m shattered
[01:36.41]I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to
[01:38.75]And in a prison of abandonment i’ve jailed you
[01:41.08]I never planned that I would leave you there alone
[01:43.02]I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
[01:45.56]And all the times I swore that it would be okay
[01:47.94]Now i’m nothing but a liar that’s been thrown into the fray
[01:50.33]This bedtime story isn’t ‘misery ever after’
[01:52.26]The pages are torn and there’s no final chapter
[01:54.55]I didn’t have a choice, I did what I had to do
[01:56.89]I made a sacrifice and forced a bigger sacrifice on you
[01:59.83]I know you lived a nightmare
[02:04.40]I caused you so much pain
[02:08.72]But, baby, please don’t do what I did
[02:12.89]I don’t want you to waste your life in vain
[02:26.57]Red like roses
[02:30.73]Fills my head with dreams and finds me
[02:35.46]Always closer
[02:39.77]To the emptiness and sadness
[02:42.33]that has come to take the place of you
[02:45.48]You’re not the only one who needed me I thought you understood
[02:49.60]You were the one I needed and you left me and I always feared you would
[02:54.17]Would I change it if I could?
[02:58.13]It doesn’t matter how.
[03:00.32]The petals scattered now.
[03:02.81]Every nightmare does disclose this.
[03:04.89]It’s your birth that’s red like roses,
[03:07.17]And no matter what I do,
[03:09.98]Nothing ever takes the place of you
[03:39.69]Red like roses
[03:43.86]Fills my head with dreams and finds me
[03:48.73]Always closer
[03:52.90]To the emptiness and sadness
[03:55.04]that has come to take the place of you
