Roses

Red and white, check out line

Did they have to do this to me?

Almost made it out with just a bottle of wine

Single here, dozen there

Doesn't make a difference

'Cause every petal on the floor reminds me why

I don't go out with hopes up of meeting someone

I don't mix drinks with wishing I'll find what I won't

And I don't buy roses

I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die

Oh, I'm lonely, I know it

And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Know I could, know I should add a little color

And try to make this empty house feel like home (Like home)

Yeah, but what's it worth?

Nobody sees, nobody's coming over

Just like me, they'll sit in this living room alone (Alone)

I'm better off broken

Keeps me out of danger

I don't call up old numbers again or give mine to strangers

And I don't buy roses

I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die

Oh, I'm lonely, I know it

And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Oh, tonight

Oo-oo-oo-ooh

Oo-oo-oo-ooh

Oo-oo-oo-ooh

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

And I don't buy roses

I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die

Oh, I'm lonely, I know it

And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine

But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
