Rose on the bedside
From when I told her those three words
And it's seen better days
Still, so still it lays next to her
She tells him
"No shoes on the carpet", they stumble upstairs
She wants to be wanted but nobody cares
Her body's an object, love's just an emotion
But she's getting upset, her eyes bring the ocean
She's tired of waiting for someone who ain't there
She got too complacent, he brushes her hair
She starts to give in now, pushes the air
Out of her lungs
And now she's taking off her clothes
For somebody she don't know
And I'm alone again
He spots a single rose
Picks it up and blows
The petals off the stem
And as the petals hit the ground
To the hollow sound
Of love's last goodbye
Well, she takes a look around
Up and down
Why even try?
Now she's taking off her clothes
For somebody she don't know
And I'm alone again
She spots a single rose
Picks it up and blows
The petals off the stem
Oh and as the petals hit the ground
I take a look around
And I don't see her, oh no
And as I hear the hollow sound
The tears are falling down
'Cause I still need you
Rose on the bedside
From when I told her those three words
