Black and White Roses

A black rose lies abandoned on the ground
Withering with every next second passed
We gather 'round your pale beauty of a corpse
Your sky colored eyes hold no more life
No longer does the ring of your laughter sound
Only echoes of your voice are left for our ears
We couldn't place a lid on your clear glass casket
We can barely let you go..

There'll be no dirt covering you in your grave
No soil to touch your pretty face
You'll be covered in black roses, dear
Ones with petals that never die
We'll keep your soul surrounded by life
We won't leave you alone again

There's a brand new white rose there
One your forever closed eyes will never see
Just like will never see those beauties again
We'll always say the signs were barely missed
But everyone knows even now we don't see them
We just need to blame someone, don't we?
And it's so easy to blame ourselves, isn't it?
I don't know if we can let you go..

There'll be no dirt covering you in your grave
No soil to touch your pretty face
You'll be covered in white roses, love
Ones with petals that never fade
Life will surround your soul everyday
We can't leave you alone again

Memories become priceless to keep
Questions become our obsession
We claim we only want answers
Yet our hearts are screaming for you..

There'll be no dirt covering you in your grave
No soil to touch your pretty face
You'll be covered in black and white roses
Ones with petals that never fade and never die
We'll keep your forgotten soul surrounded by life
This time, we won't leave you on your own;
