Standing at the bus stop, heading on over the bridge Well I was listening to the sounds of sirens coming over the hill Running down the sidewalks, looking at the cracks in the streets Staring at expressions on the faces I'll never meet Standing on the docks and watching the waves as the city sleeps I'm wondering how something so beautiful could cut so f*cking deep And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away Herein lies my confession Well it's the root of all of my aggression Well I'm a bitter motherf*cker 'cause I'm four steps back I'll hit the bottle and I'll never look back No, I ain't gonna give up; no, I ain't done yet My only motivations are others' expectations; What kind of Punk would I be if I took sh** for being me? And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away And it's these moments that make us realize Maybe life ain't so f*cking bad, better be grateful for what you have It's gonna be tough (whoa), we've got lost lives and broken hearts We're outcasts looking for angels, we find more comfort in strangers And every time I look into my own eyes, another little piece of me dies We'll never know what's keeping us, what's keeping us alive And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away And it's these moments that make us realize Maybe life ain't so f*cking bad, better be grateful for what you... And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away And it's these moments that make me realize Maybe life ain't so f*cking bad, better be grateful for what you have (Roses and razor blades.) (Moments make me realize.) (Roses and razor blades.)
