Footsteps On My Roses Lyrics

Footsteps On My Roses lyrics

She says "It's okay, I'm just affectionate."
But she doesn't know what that means to me...
She says "It's my right to hang on him."
But she can't see the hurt it causes me
Chorus:
I know she's beautiful
and in that respect I'm falling behind
But as long as she's stepping on my roses
She's trampling all hope in my mind....
She says "Don't feel so bad about yourself."
But little does she know.
She says "I don't think I'm beautiful."
But it sure as hell doesn't show.
(chorus)
I tell myself not to get into this mess...
Why must I let myself be so let down as this?
I try to say it'll be fine by next year
but by the time I'm convinced, next year is here...
She says "You're so beautiful."
Then why does she try to prove differently?
She says "You'll find somebody someday."
Then why does she try to make someday so far away for me?
(chorus)
I know she's perfect
and in that respect I do without
But as long as she's stepping on my teardrops...
I'll never know what true love's all about..
But as long as she's stepping on my roses...
She's trampling all hope in my mind...
She says "It's okay, I'm just affectionate."
But she doesn't know what that means to me...
