Black roses

I wish we didn’t fight for stupid things
I wish we would see life’s a blessing
but we let pride take us by,
oh if we only knew

Take me by the hand and can you hear
that when we don’t fight, we don’t shed tears
Forget rage in this stage
don’t let the curtains close

As we stand on this spot
We can hear the ticking clock
Our bonds separate in this theater
I wish we didn’t have to seek
But as the end of the act gets nearer
I can feel, black roses at my feet

We don’t need a lot to be happy
all we need is love and the air we breathe
And of course friends and family
and then you and me

But we let the drift of this world take us,
baby just go by the feelings that makes us
It might be a little crazy,
but this is more than a fairytale

I know we don’t have perfection,
rotting corruption is in every direction,
but nothing is flawless and regardless we can make it through.

Remember the usual sushi
The walks on the beach
Almost falling when ice skating
Or the way you look at me.
But now the curtains closing
Do you want to end this through?
I don’t want our act to receive black roses
Open your eyes and see the truth

Romeo and Juliet has nothing to do
Don’t let the poison of this world get you
And I won’t let the dagger of pride take me too
Because I know
This is even more than fate pointing me to you

I can end this act without you
Do you want to change for good?
Or decay with the corrupting impracticality
Of what people think is actuality
I can take a bow on this show
Because I know what I’ve said hasn’t been so low
But if you want your mind to rot then face the crowds
they'll throw black roses as your heart drowns
and the clapping is our memories becoming a fading sound.
