Kicking Roses
Tell me why you're kicking every rose that you come across
Walking like a man but you've never been so lost
Yeah I know that you say that your heart never breaks
Well come on lover...I see through what you say...
Tell me why you're picking up on everything that's going wrong
Shooting for the moon but gravity is hanging on
You try, to deny, what is inside
But the beat of your heart is paralyzed...
Do you know, do you know, every stone that you throw
Will ricochet back around, to where you stand
Head in hand, going it alone
Don't you see, don't you see
You are never gonna be saved by kicking roses
Where you stand
Head in hand, going it alone...
Tell me why you're leaving every home you've been living in
Picking up where you left off, pulling out of anything
And I know that you say that your heart never breaks!
Well come on lover...I see through what you say...
Do you know, do you know, every stone that you throw
Will ricochet back around, to where you stand
Head in hand, going it alone
Don't you see, don't you see
You are never gonna be saved by kicking roses
Where you stand
Head in hand, going it alone...
