one single rose

I don’t need a dozen roses
To know you love me
I don’t need anymore lies
To fill the stories you gave me
I don’t need another box of letters
There all the same just in different words
I don’t need a love song because
More then likely you won’t be there
I don’t want to hear those words tonight
The don’t mean much anymore
I won’t reach for you
I don’t need a dozen roses
I only need one single rose
Because the thorns are sharp enough
To do the same damage as twelve
Keep your dozen pain givers
I don’t need em’
