I can see your eyes staring into mine But it's a battlefield, and I'm on the other side You can throw your words sharper than a knife And leave me cold in another house on fire
I lay low, lay low And watch the bridges burn I lay low, lay low What more could I have done
Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses Under your spell
She told me twice all of her good advice But I couldn't see, I was clouded by your lies Up in smoke, a vision she foretold She said stay away because that boy's a warning sign
I lay low, lay And watch the bridges burn
Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses Under your spell
And I'm done being the one Trying to pick up the broken pieces And I'm done being the one Who says, \'I love you, dear, but I'm leaving\'
Now you only bring me black roses And they crumble into dust when they're held Now you only bring me black roses But I'm not under your spell
