Like Roses Lyrics - Matchbox 20

Please don't make me answer you 

The world is big but my circles are small 

And please don't try to shut me out 

I'm in love that's all 

I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear 

And please don't laugh I just can't help, 

Grinning when I'm giving it all 

And please don't show you're face around my place 

I've seen it all before 

And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain, 

I believe that life goes on like a hurricane 

And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane 

Anymore 

And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough 

and in the end there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want 

(chorus) 

To come through like roses 

To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train, 

In the middle of a bad dream 

All you wanted was to be proud, 

Like a rough little 

Soldier, 

There's a place where the soul ends 

Comes through like roses, 

Comes through like roses 

Looking down I see my cigarette is even, 

With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket, 

Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven, 

You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong 

Or I was sorry, 

I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round 

And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down 

Quarter time, 

It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes, 

And you can feel every second of the cold heartache 

Coming down 

(chorus) 

(solo) 

(chorus) 

(fade)
