THE FLOWERS YOU SENT
CAME TO MY DOOR
AND I KNOW WHAT
YOU SENT THEM FOR
THE CARD SAID
YOU WERE SORRY
AS CAN BE
BUT ANGRY WORDS
WE SAID LAST NIGHT
STILL HURT ME
IN THE MORNIN' LIGHT
AND THEY WON'T
DISAPPEAR THAT EASILY
I KNOW THAT
YOUR INTENTIONS
ARE SINCERE
I SAY THE WORDS
BUT YOU DON'T
SEEM TO HEAR
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT I NEED
TO MAKE IT OK
I NEED YOU
TO TALK TO ME
I NEED TRUTH
AND HONESTY
THAT'S THE WAY
THAT I WANT YOU
TO SHOW IT
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
PINK BALLOONS AND
CHOCOLATE HEARTS
YOU TRY TO USE
LIKE CUPID DARTS
BUT YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE
THEY HELP TO HEAL
WHAT WILL IT TAKE
TO MAKE YOU SEE
THE BEST GIFT
YOU COULD GIVE TO ME
IS TAKIN' TIME TO KNOW
THE WAY I FEEL
THE TRUTH HURTS
BUT IT'S WORSE
IF I PRETEND
AND I DON'T WANT
YOUR APOLOGY AGAIN
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT I NEED
TO MAKE IT OK
I NEED YOU
TO TALK TO ME
I NEED TRUTH
AND HONESTY
THAT'S THE WAY
THAT I WANT YOU
TO SHOW IT
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
OH I NEED YOU
TO TALK TO ME
I NEED TRUTH
AND HONESTY
THAT'S THE WAY
THAT I WANT YOU
TO SHOW IT
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
I CAN BUY
MY OWN ROSES
