"A Black Rose On Valentine's Day"
Bring me a belief I can treasure
To replace all the thoughts in my head
I've been through them all so often
Even the worst have worn off their tread
You could say that I have a habit
Of twisting everything into a lie
But am I really all that crazy
When you can't look me straight in the eye?
- A black rose on Valentine's Day -
An avatar of emotional decay
A black rose on Valentine's Day
A bitter sentiment on a sweet cliche
A black rose, on a black day
Give me something I can cling to
And maybe I won't curse your name
My sanity is barely tethered
And the rope's held over a flame
You could snuff it out if you just cared
You don't even have to say a word
Just don't act like the words "I love you"
Are the best joke you've ever heard
- Chorus -
I'm not asking for the world
I don't even want you
- Chorus -
