Between the Roses

If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
 Maybe then you'll see how nothing stays in tact
 And when my life is over maybe you can understand
 That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
 It's nothing personal, I just want you to know
 I tried to understand
 You tortured me with the silence in your throat
 And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
 You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
 You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
 That you couldn't go, that you wouldn't leave me all alone
 Cause if you did, you'd see my body hanging just above the floor
 Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
 To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,
 Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue
 So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
 The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
 And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
 The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together
 It's comforting to fall asleep alone
 And it's comforting because it's all I've ever known
 If I should die before I wake
 I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
 Between the roses, between the roses
 Because the earth is only pretty for so long
 Between the roses, between the roses
 You were the only one I'll trust to sing along
 To sing between the roses, sing my song
 So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
 The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
 And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
 The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together
 As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
 We knew it was time, but I was not ready
 To let you go, to say goodbye
 To a love I thought would never die
 You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
 As I kissed your lips with my regrets
 In hopes that maybe we'd pretend
 Forever never had to end
 La, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la la la la
 That maybe we'd pretend
 Our hope had died, but our love's not dead
 So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
 Where you'll find the tree to which I tied this rope
 And nothing is for certain, that's the only thing I know
 But I'm certain that it's time for me to go
 It's nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
 That I will be alone
