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
