A Black Rose For You

It was all about self-destruction � � �
Such a silly human construction � � �
To take a heart and leave it shattered � � �
Revoke everything small that mattered � � �
I payed the price for accusing you � � �
If only the price I really knew � � �
That you would take my mistake � � �
And throw it all back in my face � � �
You said you loved me and it was a lie � � �
You made me a fool, made me want to die � � �
I was scared of the things inside � � �
Emotions raw that I couldn't confide � � �
I payed the price for screwing love � � �
And I made believe it was enough � � �
That you said you forgave my breaking words � � �
Before the tables were upturned � � �
I'll never be as sorry as I am for hurting you � � �
You'll never be as sorry for what you put me through � � �
We made believe so we could take revenge � � �
Though nothing really was avenged � � �
Two broken people that couldn't love � � �
When love could never be enough � � �
And so my confession to your last betrayal � � �
That you never loved me anyway � � �
I do it all again for one more hit � � �
But truthfully this silence is my last twist � � �
Because you know we never can go back � � �
When we painted the roses black � �
� � �
