Baby's Breath
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.
There was a time you thought
I was in love with you
Well think again,
You can't read my thought
You're so pretty,
I'd like to break your smile in two
You're so correct,
I'd like to disconnect the dots
You're such a child,
But you're not innocent
Another kid for rent
Why do you send me roses?
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
There was a time I thought
You were magnificent
But you've got nothing to have or to hold
You're so pensive
But your thoughts are insignificant
Wrap 'em up another twenty billion sold
You think you're wild and you know
What danger means
In your designer jeans
Why do you send me roses?
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
I'd like to have you alone tonight
And rearrange your mind
I'd like to have you
But I know I'd be wasting my time
Why do you send me roses?
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
Why do you send me roses?
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
