Caleb Hyles, Casey Lee Williams - Red Like Roses lyrics

Ooh

Red like roses fills my dreams
And brings me to the place you rest
White is cold and always yearning
Burdened by a royal test
Black, the beast descends from shadows
Yellow beauty burns gold

I couldn't take it
Couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that I had
Known for all my life
Was stripped away from me the
Minute that you died
To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
But now without you
I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that I
Had taken you for granted
No way in hell that I
Can ever comprehend this
I wasn't dreaming when they told
Me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling that
They had to be wrong
How could you leave me when you
Swore that you would stay?
Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare
That I wake to everyday it's like a movie
But there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black and
There's no pretending
This little fairytale doesn't seem
To end well
There's no knight in shining armor that
Will wake me from the spell

I know you didn't plan this (Oh)
You tried to do what's right (Oh)
But in the middle of this madness (Oh)
I'm the one (I'm the one, I'm the one)
Left to win this fight

Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer to the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you

I know you’re broken down by
Anger and by sadness
You feel I've left you in a
World that's full of madness
Wish I could talk to you
If only for a minute
Make you understand the reasons why I did it
I wanna tell you that you’re
All that ever mattered
Want you to know that, for eternity
I’m shattered
I tried so hard just to protect
You but I failed to
And, in a prison of abandonment
I've jailed you i never planned that I would
Leave you there alone
I was sure that I would see you
When I made it back home
And all the times I swore
That it would be okay
Now I’m nothing but a liar and
You're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with
Misery ever after the pages are torn and
There’s no final chapter
I didn’t have a choice
I did what I had to do
I made a sacrifice but forced
A bigger sacrifice on you

I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But baby, please, don’t do what I did
I don’t want (I don't want, I don't want)
You to waste your life in vain

Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer to the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you

You're not the only one who needed me
I thought you understood
You were the one I needed
And you left me as I always feared you would
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn’t matter how the petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It’s your blood that’s red like roses
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you

Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer to the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
