Beware Of Roses


I come home and I am late
But It's not like we have a date
There's no good reason for you to stare
And I'm surprised to see you there.
It isn't my fault but time just flies
And you look at me with transfixed eyes, saying
"You disappointment, you disgrace, you'll never be what we wanted you to be."
But you know how it gets to me
You know how much it hurts
And all I know is that my self esteem gets worse.

Muttering apologies and your superiority
Really don't make sense to me
But It's not like I'm a deity
And you should know, you're not a saint
You're evil with a lick of paint
Paint of lead that covered toys
And poisoned all the girls and boys
Like you're now infecting me
You're eyes of dark hostility
And all I know is that my confidence ran dry.


[Bridge]


I told you I was sorry
But you're acting Oh so horribly
And man, you love to scold me
But as it is, now, currently
You make me want to scream...


[Chorus]


You're the only thing I've had
All this time that I've been sad
But when did things start to go bad?
If I was gone you'd be so glad!
Then you start yelling
I start yelling
And it starts to be difficult
No way of telling
Just which one of us drives the other mad.



Your face, the thing I once found so perfect
Wears a glare that won't neglect
To mention the pain within my eyes
And the ever growing pack of lies
That I keep hidden, locked away
From the person that I see everyday
The one that I entrusted my love to
The girl that WOULD say "I do"
The woman that I once called a wife
And was the beauty in my life.

But of all things, you had to be
The person that would ruin me
They say "Beware of roses, they have thorns"
But the one I chose has devil's horns
And I can't wait to get away
To sanctuary and another day
When I don't have to hear your voice
And I don't have to see your face
Because my dear that when I'm there,
I'll be in a better place.


[Bridge]


I told you I was sorry
But you're acting Oh so horribly
And man, you love to scold me
But as it is, now, currently
You make me want to scream...


[Chorus]


You're the only thing I've had
All this time that I've been sad
But when did things start to go bad?
When I'm gone you'll be so glad!
They hear you yelling
They hear me yelling
It starts to be difficult
No way of telling
Just which of us was driven mad.


[End]
