Red Like Roses Part II - Casey Lee Williams

I couldn't take it couldn't stand another minute
Couldn't bear another day without you in it
All of the joy that i had known for my life
Was stripped away from me
The minute that you died
To have you in my life was all i ever wanted
But now without you
I'm a soul forever haunted
Can't help but feel that
I had taken you for granted
No way in hell that
I can ever comprehend this
I wasn't dreaming when
They told me you were gone
I was wide awake and feeling
That they had to be wrong
How could you leave me
When you swore that you would stay
Now i'm trapped inside a nightmare
Every single f**king day
It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
Theres no knight in shining armor
Who will wake me from the spell
I know you didn't plan this
You tried to do what's right
But in the middle of this madness
I'm the one you left to win this fight
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
I know you're broken down
By anger and by sadness
You feel i left you in a world
That's full of madness
Wish i could talk to you
If only for a minute
Make you understand
The reasons why i did it
I wanna tell you that
You're all that ever mattered
Want you to know
That for eternity i'm shattered
I tried so hard just to protect you but i failed to
And in a prison of abandonment
I've jailed you
I never planned that i would leave you there alone
I was sure that i would see you
When i made it back home
And all the times i swore
That it would be okay
Now i'm nothing but a liar and
You're thrown into the fray
This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
The pages are torn and there's no final chapter
I didn't have a choice i did what i had to do
I made a sacrifice
But forced a bigger sacrifice on you
I know you've lived a nightmare
I caused you so much pain
But baby please don't do what i did
I don't want you to waste your life in vain
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
You're not the only one who needed me
I thought you understood
You were the one i needed and you left me as
I always feared you would
Would i change it if i could
It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
And no matter what i do
Nothing ever takes the place of you
Red like roses
Fills my head with dreams and finds me
Always closer
To the emptiness and sadness
That has come to take the place of you
