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.
Take it from me now
Be what I will be
Take it from me now
Don't tell me
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
Am I in fear?
Am I in doubt?
Carry it within
Or carry on without
If you could see me now
I swear you'd change your mind
Keep it all for me
Just keep me in your mind
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
I swear this rosy wind
Will carry me away
I swear to stamp my feet
And I swear I'll never pray
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
I don't want to know
I swear this rosy wind
Carry me away
I swear to stamp my feet
And I swear I'll never break
Keep it with me now
On the wooden floor
Like a jail bird
Looking at me now
I don't want to know
No, I don't want to know
God, I miss the snow
And I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
Did you ask me?
Did you ask me why?
Did you ask me why?
Did you ask me?
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
