Roses and Lies

Roses and lies
I need your love 
Not your troubles
I need you in not out 
Too long I knew you lied 
But I stayed hoping 
Life is beautiful 
I knew that before 
You took my love away 
And left my heart beating
Waiting and crying


Roses and lies 
I gave you me 
I traded your heart 
For my love 
Nothing more nothing less 
So don't leave me so cold 
Life is too short to cry 
My intension is true 
I need your love 
Not your games of lies 
So Give me back my roses
With true love 

Roses and lies 
Despite you look beautiful
Yet the ugliness of your heart 
Makes me bleed
I wonder what more you need 
Cos I don't want to be 
Who am not 
When you lie to me 
Am a man with a true soul
Please give me back my roses 
With true love 
Cos truly am in love with you
