Red roses on the kitchen counter
Yeah, I put 'em in a vase before you walked away
And there's whiskey stains on the coffee table
I guess I wasn't able to be enough for you
Enough for me, enough for us
Everything it never was, will never be
No, no, no, will never be
Yeah, I hate to see your flowers fading, withering away
If everything I didn't say
Babe, you gave me everything I wanted
Took it for granted, didn't give it no second thought and
I was stuck just going through the motions
I wish I would've noticed
Now I'm left with dead roses, dead roses
Oh, you sound like a song and look like a movie
Reckless love in all it's beauty
Leave it to you to run away
Leave it to me to know it's too late
Oh, it's too late (hey)
Babe, you gave me everything I wanted
Took it for granted, didn't give it no second thought and
I was stuck just going through the motions
I wish I would've noticed
Now I'm left with dead roses
Dead roses, dead roses
Dead roses, dead roses
Dead roses on the kitchen counter
Still keep 'em in a vase
And I water them anyway
