lyrics

Roses
Joshua Britt/Zach Bevill

I'll buy you roses, baby
Write you a song
Just to say forgive me baby
I went on for far too long

I said a few things baby
I didn't mean to say
I wanna be my own man baby
Can't say things the same old way

Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away

Our love is different baby
Than all your friends
The way you look at me
Says words they'll never understand

Let's find forgiveness baby
Come in from the rain
Dry your tears upon my sleeve
And let love break away our chains

Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away

Roll up your blue jeans babe
Let your dark hair low
Let's dance our blues away real slow
I wanna be your lover baby
I don't wanna be your friend
Let's fill our hearts with love again
I'll buy you roses, baby
Write you a song
Just to say forgive me baby
I went on for far too long

Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, before the petals fall away
Roses, let us bloom for one more day
Roses, anything to make love stay
