My Bleeding Rose

A cigarette in one hand, I’ll drown myself in love notes
As my ability to remember your face slowly fades
Was is me that you loved the most?
Let's turn on the stereo and drink our pain away

The taste of those delicate lips
Stale booze and cigarettes
Something that I'll truly miss
But you still feel nothing yet

Sleep my bleeding rose
Close your eyes while you start to fade
With your unexpected overdose
This was a choice that you made

Those pretty voices in my head
Have become silent
Your blood is what they've shed
Those voices have become violent

I'll drink for you, my dead and bleeding rose
Just promise me you'll close the door
Before you turn to go
And leave me bare and cold on the floor

I'm not ready to move on
So let's not talk about this
Just show me that you're hear and be gone
Because my heart yearns for your tender kiss

Your blood fell like the falling rain
Everything was washed away
But I was left blood stained
As you slowly started to fade

Why'd you go, my bloody rose?
Was it just to much?
Your unexpected overdose,
Was I not enough?

There's not much more I can say
I have nothing to give you
Those feelings have gone blank
The only thing that's true is that I'll miss you

My bleeding rose.....
