Roses are red. Violets are blue. I said I loved you. But…
“Roses are red. Violets are blue. I said I loved you. But what did you do? You broke my heart. Ripped it out of my chest. I thought you were different. But you were just like the rest. Every now and then I hear our song play. But now it just seems like. We're drifting away. But what happens now? What do I do? Are roses still red? Are violets still blue? You meant the whole world to me. But you didn't care. You left me crying. Left me in despair. Roses are red. And violets are blue. But everything changed. When I lost you.”
