Roses by The Teenage Runaways Lyrics
I hope you like me even though my mind is stormy
I realize my heart is thorny
But baby I'm a rose that's how it goes
You should've left me because you knew if you got too close you'd get pricked
Although you had the unfair disadvantage of me being an overall prick
I am the worst there is and of course you hand picked me,
I looked you straight in the eyes and tricked you with my plea of lies,
Now I can't bare to hear the sound of your cries,
I'm sorry
I'm hardly enough for you and I know that now,
I just wish I would've found that out earlier, Word of who I really am hit you like pow,
I'm not abusive or anything, but I've taken up boxing and how I portray myself is also pretty shocking,
Baby, you're beautiful... You've got my jaw dropping down to the floor, I wish I could see more,
You're heart stopping, I can't feel my pulse, It usually beats just like a drum, but when I see you I go numb, you could never repulse me, not even if you tried,
The first time I laid my eyes on you I was attracted, you distracted me and caused me to collide into you,
We crashed just like the tide, But we'll flow forever and we'll never dry out, drought just isn't a thing that I'm ready for,
The fact that I could swim in your eyes all day long makes me want to be there forevermore, I'd rather drown and be immortilized inside of you, I'm never coming ashore again,
I'll meet you when the tide is low,
I may be salty but it won't show,
I hope you like the way I flow back and forth,
I go everywhere, from north to south, to east and west, baby you're the best, and I'll take any test you want to prove it,
I blow around just like the wind, I may go to other places but I'll always come back to you unlike all the rest do,
Anytime I sin, I'll confess to you when I feel the time is right,
It could be day, or it could be night
Soon enough you'll try to take off like a bird in flight,
But until then I'll be your knight in shining armor, and I'll fight for you, whenever you need me too or you feel threatened,
Whenever you're upset, I'll distract you with my bright white smile, stick around and stay and relax in my arms for a little while?
I'll love you through all of the sweat and all of the tears, I'll help you get through all of your various fears,
You're all I have and I don't regret that,
You aren't fat and your stomach doesn't have to be flat, You're perfect just the way you are and nothing will ever change that,
You'll be perfect forever and always, nothing will ever make my feelings towards you go away, from you I'll never stray,
I feel bad when I crush your spirits,
I'm constantly reminded about my mistakes because I never hear the end of it,
Even if your friends or family have to complain to me, it's okay, cause I know we'll always remain,
There will never be an end to us,
Even through all of the cussing, we'll always be able to discuss what needs to be adjusted in order for us to make it,
Because after I mend your heart, I know I'll re-break it,
That's just how it works, because after your heart gets broken the first time, all of your puzzle pieces don't fit like they used to,
You just have to let it start growing again until it comes back anew,
Ripped and split but bound together by glue,
It may not be the best but it'll have to do,
Don't be a mutt and chew open your wounds, because scars don't usually fade,
Even if you have scars, I would never trade my thoughts on you due to the way you are displayed,
Nobody could persuade me to think any differently of you for that, I would never downgrade due to any of your kinks
Fuck what people think,
I mean look at me I'm a dime a dozen,
And don't you even think that I'm bluffing,
Quit your fussing,
All you really need is some loving,
You're as red as a rose,
Your heart may be thorny,
But baby, that's just how it goes
I realize my heart is thorny
But baby I'm a rose that's how it goes
You should've left me because you knew if you got too close you'd get pricked
Although you had the unfair disadvantage of me being an overall prick
I am the worst there is and of course you hand picked me,
