Why, when we’re fighting does nobody win?
My love grows stronger from disappointment
You take the high road; I’ll follow behind
We’ll wake in the morning having put this behind us
Well, I love you madly but I don’t always choose
The right combination of what to say to you
Time does pass slowly while I’m sitting alone
I’d offer my chair, but I left it at home
I never wanted to make you cry
I never wanted to make you cry
We’ll pick up the pieces of compromise
Miscommunication has been blurring the lines
We’ll offer solutions, and not criticize
You not in my life brings a tear to my eye
I never wanted to make you cry
I never wanted to make you cry

Roses (Live)

I think the roses I gave you are on their last lap
I think to throw them out would cause you to reflect and think back
On all the memories that we shared
Won’t you come with me to that old special place
Where we hid to escape from our fears- from all love
From all love
Already I am having doubts you did not think this one out
As abrupt as it may seem it did not take long for me
To see the petals falling down
Won’t you comfort me with that old special smile
Read to me- let me rest my head on you for a while
I know I can‘t rely on anybody else
I know I can’t rely on anybody else
To comfort me when my world is falling
Thankfully I have thorns to guard my heart
I think the roses I gave you are on their last lap
I think to throw them out would cause you to reflect and think back
On all the memories that we shared
Won’t you come with me to that old special place
Where we hid to escape from our fears- from all love
From all love- from all love

I was younger, but I knew what was right from wrong
I never made excuses or rationalized my faults
You said that I was playing games
But you never remember the games you played
You pushed me into the arms of another one
It took me years to get over her too, now that’s not fun
But you never left my heart
Girl, we should never have parted
I still love you girl, I do
I still need you girl, I do
I still love you girl, I do
And I want to prove it to you
The sound of your voice makes my chest feel tight
And I guarantee that you’ll be in my dreams tonight
We’ll go and paint the room upstairs
And cast our shadows into glares
I still love you girl, I do
I still need you girl, I do
I still love you girl, I do
And I want to prove it to you
And I want to prove to you that I’ve grown and I’ve changed
And I want to prove to you that I’m done playing games
I was younger but I feel that I’ve had time to meet other people
But I still believe that you are mine
I want to reach out and touch your face
It takes me back to the time and place
Where I still loved you girl, I do
Where I still need you girl, I do
Where I still loved you girl, I do
And I want to prove it to you

I don’t believe you’re telling me everything
Come out clean- don’t lie to me- I can’t believe
I’m not gonna give or sell myself upon this
I only want what’s owed to me- some redress
I look you in the eyes I see your smiling lines
The jokes on me cause I can see through all your lies
I’m not playing your games
I’m not going insane
I used to give you my heart
But your lies ripped it apart
So speak to me in a voice I’ll believe
You owe me this much –it’s true
I never would’ve held it from you like you did me
Now I can’t believe one word you say
All of my trust has been washed away
To think that I held you in these arms
I’m torn- torn- torn
You tore me in two- you tore me in two
So speak to me in a voice I’ll believe
You owe me this much –it’s true
I never would’ve held it from you like you did me
Now I can’t believe one word you say
All of my trust has been washed away
To think that I held you in these arms

I worked hard all my life and sometimes barely got through
You never think of the role you played- you only think about you
But you always get by- you laugh and you cry
You think of all of the ones you’ve loved and your last goodbye
But don’t you take it from me
Look to your neighbor and you will see
Hey there- why don’t you take my hand?
I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
I put up a fight but I lost tonight and I’m losing the war
But I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall
I was waiting for you and I knew you’d come through
Though you’ve not seen my face- this is you when you age
So be mindful that you take a lesson or two
From an old man who can’t see- a broken back and I’m weak
But don’t you turn out like me
Afraid and not making ends meet
Hey there- why don’t you take my hand?
Cause I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
Hey there- why don’t you take my hand?
Cause I can’t stand the way I want to stand at all
I put up a fight but I lost tonight and I’m losing the war
But I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall
And I’m losing the war but I don’t seek forgiveness when I fall
