hey rose

Hey Rose, it's all briars
This wall I had to climb you made yourself
And with every thorn I bled
And with the aching in my head
I said to myself
I think that I will go love someone else
I think that I will go love someone else

You seemed to think it was your birthright
To sleep a thousand years
Waiting for someone to come along and love you
For someone to wipe away your tears

Well let me tell you something about living
'Cause you seem to find it hard to understand
Taking poison won't make you a hero
Taking poison won't make you any friends

Hey Rose, it's all briars
This wall I had to climb you made yourself
And with every thorn I bled
And with the aching in my head
I said to myself
I think that I will go love someone else
I think that I will go love someone else

This one's got a price tag
And this one's got a plan
And this one's dedicated to an old girlfriend

You need somebody
No matter what you do or say
You need somebody
To give it all away

Hey Rose, you're on fire
But you're smiling through your tears
And when you leave the past behind
All the echoes in your mind
Will fade to grey
Hey Rose, you'll just give it all away
Oh Rose, you'll just give it all away
