Roses

Red and white
Check out line
Did they have to do this to me
Almost made it out with just a bottle of wine
Single here
Dozen there
Doesn't make a difference
'Cause every petal on the floor reminds me why
I don't go out with hopes up of meeting someone
I don't mix drinks with wishing I'll find what I want

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

I know I could
Know I should
Add a little color
And try to make this empty house feel like home
Yeah, but what's it worth
Nobody sees
Nobody's coming over
And just like me they'll sit in this living room alone
Oh, I'm better off broken
Keeps me out of danger
I don't call up old numbers or give mine to strangers

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
Oh, tonight

And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
Oh, I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
