jeff williams - red like roses pt. ii lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: casey lee williams]
i couldn’t take it, couldn’t stand another minute;
couldn’t bear another day without you in it
all of the joy that i had known for all my life
was stripped away from me the minute that you died

to have you in my life was all i ever wanted
but now without you, i’m a soul forever haunted
can’t help but feel that i had taken you for granted;
no way in h-ll that i can ever comprehend this

i wasn’t dreaming when they told me you were gone
i was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
how could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
now i’m trapped inside a nightmare every single f’ing day

it’s like a movie, but there’s not a happy ending;
every scene fades black, and there’s no pretending
this little fairy tale doesn’t seem to end well
there’s no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell

i know you didn’t plan this;
you tried to do what’s right
but in the middle of this madness
i’m the one you left to win this fight

[chorus: casey lee williams]
red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you

[verse 2: sandy lee casey]
i know you’re broken down by anger and by sadness;
you feel i left you in a world that’s full of madness
wish i could talk to you, if only for a minute;
make you understand the reasons why i did it

i wanna tell you that you’re all that ever mattered;
want you to know that, for eternity, i’m shattered
i tried so hard just to protect you, but i failed to
and in a prison of abandonment i’ve jailed you

i never planned that i would leave you there alone
i was sure that i would see you when i made it back home
and all the times i swore that it would be okay;
now i’m nothing but a liar, and you’re thrown into the fray

this bedtime story ends with misery ever after
the pages are torn, and there’s no final chapter
i didn’t have a choice, i did what i had to do;
i made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you

i know you’ve lived a nightmare;
i caused you so much pain
but baby, please don’t do what i did;
i don’t want you to waste your life in vain

[chorus: casey]
red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you

[bridge: casey lee williams and sandy lee casey]
(sandy:) you’re not the only one who needed me; i thought you understood
(casey:) you were the one i needed, and you left me as i always feared you would
(sandy:) would i change it if i could?

(casey and sandy:) it doesn’t matter how
the petals scatter now
every nightmare just discloses
it’s your blood that’s red like roses

(casey:) and no matter what i do
nothing ever takes the place of you

[guitar solo]

[chorus: casey]
red like roses
fills my head with dreams and finds me
always closer
to the emptiness and sadness
that has come to take the place of you
