Poison Roses

Looking back, I can see how we were wrong,
Both of us were just too strong,
And still we feel the same,
Foolish eyes, they don't see behind the face,
Deep inside this lonely place,
Broken hearts are filled with pain.
I gave you truth, you didn't want it,
I gave you future, you didn't want it,
I gave you all of me, but I was blind, oh yeah.
I gave you peace, you didn't want it,
I gave you strength, you didn't want it,
I gave you promises and in return,
You gave me pain, and poison roses,
Oh you fooled me once again,
With poison roses.
l close my eyes, and all my senses fill with you,
It hurts to think that I loved you, but feelings lie to deep for tears,
And even more, I thought that you was paradise,
Like whispers to a willing mind, I died on every word you said.
l gave you truth, you didn't want it,
l gave you future, you didn't want it,
l gave you all of me, but I was blind, oh yeah,
l gave you peace, you didn't want it,
l gave you strength, you didn't want it
l gave you promises and in return,
You gave me pain, and poison roses,
Oh you fooled me once again, with poison roses.
I should have known better, I should have seen it coming my way, coming my way, coming my way, If only l'd noticed, I was blinded, I should have felt the pain, I was fooled again, by the poison roses.
Poison, poison, poison, poison, poison, poison, poison, poison you fooled me once again.
You gave me pain, and poison roses,
Oh you fooled me once again, with poison roses.
All I wanted, poison roses, was someone I could hold, with spirit and a little soul.
All I needed, poison roses, was someone I could love, I really thought it was,
But when I close my eyes, poison roses, all I see is you, take me for a fool,
Thought that I found, poison roses, everything in you, but nothing's further from the truth.
Oh baby, the lies that you told me, poison roses, they're coming back on you,
And I want nothing more from you oh no, just go, poison roses should have felt the pain,
You fooled me once again, oh poison roses.
