I thought that you'd be here tonight
But now the hours are passing by
And still I try to understand why
I'm standing alone at the candlelight
Waitin' for you to make things right
But now our promises die
Babe, tell me something
Is our love still alive?
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day and night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die, die
It's been a long time since we first met
Years of love turned into loneliness
For the laughter n' tears I'll stand
Like a bird in a stormy sky
I can play your game but I just can't fight
I've read every line in your eyes
Girl, believe in something
I'll love you 'till the end of time
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die
And I know I'm not the perfect man
But I'd walk a million miles
Just to taste your kiss in one last goodbye
Yeah
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die
(Wake me up when the roses die)
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
And if it's time to say goodbye
You'd give me one more try
