Black Roses

Tell you a story of a love I left behind

Was a broken fairy tale

I gave up all my pride

Let love inside

But tore me all apart when you played with my heart

Let me paint a picture of a cold and rainy night

As the candles fade to black

I played our favorite song till the needle was gone

I've taken all I can

You've played your last hand

Black roses and a bottle of wine

Those were the only things that I left behind

Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find

All you got are the tears that you cry

Black roses and wine

Ooh yeah yeah

Sorry situation when your castle's made of sand

And it washes out to sea

I pushed your love aside

Cried my last cry

My soul is in bloom like flowers in June

Black roses and a bottle of wine

Those were the only things that I left behind

Just keep on searching 'cause it's so hard to find

All you got are the tears that you cry

Black roses and wine

Black roses and a bottle of wine

Those were the only things that I left behind

Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find

All you got are the tears that you cry

Black roses and wine

You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

You don't miss your good thing till it passes you by

Like a bird in the sky

Spread your wings and fly

Oh yeah

Ooh yeah yeah hey yeah

Hey yeah

Black roses and a bottle of wine

Those were the only things that I left behind

Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find

All you got are the tears that you cry

Black roses and wine
