Communiqué - Roses Are Black lyrics

You take the room by force and we're just your hostages If you weren't so self absorbed, you'd catch my unhealthy stares There's no need for words love We're all of the same mind here We're all one big bleeding heart, dear So don't mop the floor with me yet 'Cause if you only knew The time I've spent waiting for you To what great lengths I've chased after you But now roses are black 'cause my hate has grown as strong As the love I've tried to bury for so long And by design I've been turning cold and blue Drowned myself like I drowned my hopes for you Little Girl Blue They say I'm a lucky guy 'cause I'm the one that caught your eye But if I weren't drunk every night, I'd see the holes in your alibis There's no need for words love We're all of the same mind here We're all one big bleeding heart, dear So don't flip the coin on me yet 'Cause if you only knew The time I've spent waiting for you To what great lengths I've chased after you But now roses are black 'cause my hate has grown as strong As the love I've tried to garret for so long And by design I've been turning cold and blue Drowned myself like I drowned my hopes for you Little Girl Blue Roses are black Roses are black Roses are black Roses are black Little Girl Blue
