Roses For The Dead Lyrics

Roses For The Dead lyrics

Just to say we're sorry

For the black eyes and bleeding lips

And it's hard to forget

How many lies we told,

Or how we've grown

Before i said goodbye

So lets scrape our knees on the playground



It's not your fault

You feel okay,

It's too late in the day

It's not your fault,

You feel betrayed,

You can't come out to play



I never listened to a word,

You never said,

I never listened to a word,

You never said,



Wasting the hours now,

We're all suckers for tragedies,

And start this over again,

And you bring us to our knees,



As sunrise comes,

And the story will sell

A few hundred papers,

So we'll follow you up!



It's not your fault

You feel okay,

It's too late in the day

It's not your fault,

You feel betrayed,

You can't come out to play



I never listened to a word,

You never said,

I never listened to a word,

You never said,



So raise your hands up high,

And let this rain pour on,

So raise your hands up high,

And Wash us away,



Like innocence and childbirth

You look just like your mother,

And you look just like your father







Forgive him our father,

Your son is smiling 

So lay roses around you...
