Roses

as footsteps fade on fallen steps
the petals fall
the petals fall
I watch the colors fade away from red
the petals fall
the petals fall
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
something shook the sky today
the petals fell
the petals fell
red and blue streaks as you drove away
the petals fell
the petals fell
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and the ground began to weep
the petals lay
the petals lay
coldness slept upon my seat
the petals lay
the petals lay
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and I watch you walk away with fallen orange, blue, red
replay back the beats, the colors, the things you said
in the rain once more, the end is no longer near
a hopeful pain for better as I let you leave here
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and the petals rose above and away
and they rained from the sky
I thought that I would cry today
when you came to say goodbye
instead I smiled, choked, and lost myself
red roses dried up on my wall
and you'll grow on without my help
I’m over our blue fall
and you can paint me in red roses
and only you can paint me blue
but the petals fall from those red roses
as I fell out of love with you
and I paint you in the clouds now
and only I see you in the sky
but the rain drops fell from those clouds now
and I wish the best for you
