When I gave you roses
You gave me back the thorns
You said you wanted to spread your wings
I turned my back and you were gone
I offered you cool water
And you drank till the well was dry
Because what I didn't know
About loves' sweet fire
Is that the smoke gets in your eyes
If I built for you a mountain
You'd give me back a stone
You promised me forever
And now I'm here alone
I thought we had a lifetime
But it seems that lifetime's died
Because --------
So I just lie here
Tossing and a turning in my bed
And I can't help thinking about
All those things you said
But if I drift into sleep
You come whispering in my dreams
And if I lean in close
The whisper becomes a scream
So I think I've learnt my lesson
And you taught it oh so well
If I think that I'm in heaven
I'll double check that it ain't hell
Now i realise I was foolish
But girl you made me wise
Because -------
