Roses Are Black
Austin Collins

Laughs in the mirror, cries now and then

Ten miles from home in the rain

She’d like to call him but he’s always gone

He’s fallen for something and not someone


Dreams are like driving Hope is surreal

Each time they kiss she knows just how he feels

Not even close to what she wanted

Reciprocation’s forgone She’s left with sounds on the road


Roses are black

Loving is dying for someone who doesn’t deserve

Finders are keepers

But losing will bring her to you

Bring her to you


Addicted to comfort with a heart that’s been hewn

While the noise from the TV fights its way through her room

It’s what quitting is to cancer you’ve got answers in spades

But you go with what’s easy ‘cause it makes you feel safe


CHORUS


Some seats are still open but your glass is half full my dear

Leaving is easy once you’ve decided to listen to what we both hear


CHORUS
