When we were younger
I promised you the world
and as we grew
I found myself carrying just that upon my back
and I kept thinking I would crack
but you,
you are so intelligent and lovely
and I would still
give you anything,
anything you want
I'll build it in-between our palms
with my own blood
my own sweat
my own love and death
everything I am, as little as it is belongs to you
just as it always did and as you lay me down
upon the bed
it smells of roses
my time with you
means more than everything
your smile
your eyes
the way you softly sing to me and I
was only wanting you to stay for the rest of our lives
all the midnight talks and silly things
we laughed about for seasons
breathing nothing but the love you never felt for me
and now I hear the ambulances distant in the night time
I feel nothing but you next to me
the warmth of fire aside
and broken glass sounds just like chimes
my glossy eyes see just your silhouette
and I know that everything will be ok
you've always been my greatest friend
and even though I'm on my way
I hope you know my heart will never change
everything I am
as little as it is belongs to you
just as it always did
and as you lay me down
upon the bed
it smells of roses.
it smells of roses.
it smells of roses.
