Black Rose

I used to send black roses

Black as the way you looked at me

Then opened up your cardboard boxes

To show you thorns you didn't see



Tears dry inside

Tomorrow slips a new day

Tears dry inside

Tomorrow slips a new day

And goes



Time is sliding by

Goes beyond your mind

The gap is always here

Not enough to gouge unreliable

Don't believe a lie



I used to send black roses

Black as the way you looked at me

Then opened up your cardboard boxes

To show you thorns you didn't see



Tears dry inside

Tomorrow slips a new day

Tears dry inside

Tomorrow slips a new day

And goes
