Smell the Roses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't - don't disappoint me
I've done nothing wrong
but to support you
You create a wall
That's too hard to crack
I cannot reach you
And I cannot go back
New borders to bend the rules
New lifestyle, to make you new
Those sad eyes, when I'm with you
I've lost you
Hell I've lost you
Wake up and smell the roses
We had it all going our way
But now it hurts to tell you
Oh my god, it hurts to tell you, yeah
Wake up and smell the roses
This was too good to be true
So now it's time to say it
I've lost you
Hell I've lost you
You - you call me
Old habits die slowly
And they're hard to give up
New borders...
Wake up and smell the roses...
New borders
