If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
Maybe then youâÂÂll see how nothing stays in tact
And when my life is over maybe you can understand
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
ItâÂÂs nothing personal, I just want you to know
I tried to understand
You tortured me with the silence in your throat
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
That you couldnâÂÂt go, that you wouldnâÂÂt leave me all alone
Cause if you did, youâÂÂd see my body hanging just above the floor
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The poison that we drank, so that at least weâÂÂd die together
ItâÂÂs comforting to fall asleep alone
And itâÂÂs comforting because itâÂÂs all IâÂÂve ever known
If I should die before I wake
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
Between the roses, between the roses
Because the earth is only pretty for so long
Between the roses, between the roses
You were the only one IâÂÂll trust to sing along
To sing between the roses, sing my song
So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The poison that we drank, so that at least weâÂÂd die together
As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
We knew it was time, but I was not ready
To let you go, to say goodbye
To a love I thought would never die
You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
As I kissed your lips with my regrets
In hopes that maybe weâÂÂd pretend
Forever never had to end
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la la la la
That maybe we'd pretend
Our hope had died, but our loveâÂÂs not dead
So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
Where youâÂÂll find the tree to which I tied this rope
And nothing is for certain, thatâÂÂs the only thing I know
But IâÂÂm certain that itâÂÂs time for me to go
ItâÂÂs nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
That I will be alone
