I am trying to read your mind We have stopped to smell the roses I am trying not to lose mine The roses or my mind You are going to break my heart I can see it in your eyes and I can Feel it when the rain starts Falling with my heart I will watch the rain fall harder I will stay and you will go I won't beg and I won't barter I won't say I told you so Oh, oh You are stringing me along You'll pretend that you're not going Try and comfort me but you're gone And there's another song And this is better after all I will keep the holy sweater Tend the roses when the leaves fall It's better after all I will watch the rain fall harder I will stay and you will go I won't beg and I won't barter I won't say I told you so Oh, oh I am trying to read your mind You are going to break my heart You are stringing me along And this is better after all Yeah this is better after all It's better after all
