Cut the Roses Lyrics

I'm in the middle of the lane

I drown myself in heavy gin

The city lighting burns my brain

Attracks the midges for a thrill

I try to stand up straight

But the floor has gone from concrete to sand

All the way

I cut the roses in my head

Paint the night in sunset red

I'm having bad thoughts on the way

And I let them win

No one knows me like you did

Made me as weak as a kid

And now I go through every state

Dryin' the ties in cold wet pain

Weak in the knees I almost fell

I'm overthinking everything

My deepest wounds are all in cells

None of the words you say will ring

Don't try to fix my ache

I'll end up fleeing even further away

Stay away

I cut the roses in my head

Paint the night in sunset red

I'm having bad thoughts on the way

And you let them win

No one knows me like you did

Made me as weak as a kid

And now I go through every state

Dryin' the ties in cold wet pain
