Black Roses Lyrics - Singles - Sloppy Seconds

So you were late 

But you never told me you were 

You didn't want to say 

Till you were sure 

But that song and dance 

Won't work no more 

Because you got no rhythm 

To save your soul 

I don't care how much it hurts 

So you can tell it 

To the Roman Catholic Church 

I don't run away 

From my mistakes 

But this is one, honey, 

That I didn't make

And I can't catch you 

And I can't get you 

But I can't let you catch me 

Oh no, you can't catch me 

And you never will 

So you can plant black roses 

In your window sill 

I'll be free 

And you'll be suicidal 

While you press black roses 

In your family Bible 

So now it's all 

Left up to your discretion 

And you can spill your guts 

In your next confession 

Lift your eyes up to the sky 

Give 'em ten Hail Marys 

For one white lie 

Photos 

Your mother always said 

I would bring you down 

If she could only see you now 

Clinging tight to your rosary 

Saying, "This wasn't how 

It was supposed to be . . ." 

Forget about a snow-white 

Wedding gown 

And you can toss black roses 

In a hole in the ground 

Roses are red, roses are black 

Tell your mother what you did 

And give her a heart attack 

Someday when I'm cold and dead 

You're gonna find black roses 

By your hospital bed
