Flyleaf - Blue Roses lyrics

You said "come on
Let's go down that yellow brick road"
But that path was primrose and led
Back to black and white and now I know
Since that day you chose to let me know
My hearts been tangled with thorns
That choke the light

Oh, here I go
Collecting roses to me from you
Oh, here I go, a dozen red for every wound
Oh, now I stop and smell
The roses when they’re blue

Gonna find my way
Break the lock on the emerald city gates
It could be simple, but we’re only half-awake
I feel the pain set in when I
Think of you and grip the stems
I feel my head begin to spin, I'm not alright

Oh, here I go
Collecting roses to me from you
Oh, here I go, a dozen red for every wound
Oh, now I stop and smell
The roses when they’re blue
When they’re blue

Let go of the stems, free to bloom again
Let go of the stems, free to bloom again

Here I go, collecting roses to me from you
Oh, here I go, a dozen red for every wound
Oh, now I stop and smell
The roses when they’re blue

(Stop, stop, stop)
Let go of the stems, free to bloom again
Free to bloom again when they're blue
