Sunshine and Flowers
Roses are red, violets are blue
the sunshine is warm, at once so were you
but now the sunshine is gone, the flowers are dead
you hide behind your eyes, inside your head
your smile is cold like the dark thoughts within
I can't help but wonder what made this begin
you lie through your teeth and say that you're fine
I know better, your eyes used to shine
but now the sunshine is gone, the flowers are dead
I watch helplessly as your wrists burn red
what makes you do this, I can't understand
just please don't take your life away from me friend
I miss your smile, your warmth, your glow
you made me happy like no one would know
your laughter could take away all of my dread
but now the sunshine is gone, the flowers are dead.
