But it's a battlefield, and I'm on the other side
You can throw your words sharper than a knife
And leave me cold in another house on fire
I lay low, lay low
And watch the bridges burn
I lay low, lay low
What more could I have done
Now you only bring me black roses
And they crumble into dust when they're held
Now you only bring me black roses
Under your spell
She told me twice all of her good advice
But I couldn't see, I was clouded by your lies
Up in smoke, a vision she foretold
She said stay away because that boy's a warning sign
I lay low, lay
And watch the bridges burn
Now you only bring me black roses
And they crumble into dust when they're held
Now you only bring me black roses
Under your spell
And I'm done being the one
Trying to pick up the broken pieces
And I'm done being the one
Who says, "I love you, dear, but I'm leaving"
Now you only bring me black roses
And they crumble into dust when they're held
Now you only bring me black roses
But I'm not under your spell
I'm not under your spell (x4)
I can see your eyes staring into mine But it's a battlefield, and I'm on the other side You can throw your words sharper than a knife And leave me cold in another house on fire I lay low, lay low And watch the bridges burn I lay low, lay low What more could I have done Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses Under your spell She told me twice all of her good advice But I couldn't see, I was clouded by your lies Up in smoke, a vision she foretold She said stay away because that boy's a warning sign I lay low, lay And watch the bridges burn Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses Under your spell And I'm done being the one Trying to pick up the broken pieces And I'm done being the one Who says, "I love you, dear, but I'm leaving" Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses But I'm not under your spell I'm not under your spell (x4) Explain Request ×
