Riffs & Roses

The way you look at her, it’s not like you look at me It’s like you have something to hide There’s something in her eyes, like when I first met you I’m beginning to think something’s not right Tell me the truth are you who I thought you were Or are you just what everyone said you’d be You tell me what happened and I don’t believe a thing So I tell myself lies to make this seem alright You write me a song asking for forgiveness But how am I supposed to forgive you after what you did to me Pretty little riffs in a song about apologies will never fix your mistakes And beautiful roses in expensive bouquets won’t ever get me to stay Riffs and roses will never change what I say So goodbye, I’m going away What we had was perfect but what did it mean To someone who thought it was flawed Or maybe you liked what we had And I was the piece that made it so wrong I tried to be your everything But maybe that wasn’t what you needed Pretty little riffs in a song about apologies will never fix your mistakes And beautiful roses in expensive bouquets won’t ever get me to stay Riffs and roses will never change what I say So goodbye, I’m going away Pretty little riffs in a song about apologies will never fix your mistakes And beautiful roses in expensive bouquets won’t ever get me to stay Riffs and roses will never change what I say So goodbye, I’m going away So goodbye, I’m going away
