lyrics

So tired of waiting for roses
And longing for those three words
So tired of waiting for answers
And time it’s not on your side

I said oh, no scratch from a rose
You say there’s no cause for alarm
I said, oh; stop the cut stop the flow
What words can I say to keep you from harm?

Your heart yearns for true romance
Like the stars on the silver screen
You wish for a love potion
To give him whilst his dreaming

I said oh, no scratch from a rose
You say there’s no cause for alarm
I said, oh, stop the cut stop the flow
What words can I say to keep you from harm?

The iron has replaced the razor
Now there’s art amongst scars
Can’t you love the skin you were born in
And cherish the beauty that I see inside?

I said oh, no scratch from a rose
You say there’s no cause for alarm
I said oh, stop the cut stop the flow
What words can I say to keep you from harm?
To keep you from harm
To keep you from harm
To keep you from harm
