Contraband – Red Roses lyrics

Why does it have
To hurt so much
To live without
Your gentle touch
Why did i think
That I'd be okay
When you got up
And walked away

I can't get your face out of my mind
I'm thinking of you
All the time
Then at night you're in my sleep
Come morning alone
Again I weep

When I awake
I see you crying
Without you here
I feel I'm drying
I tell myself
I'm just a fool
My heart is the master
I am the tool

Drunk with love baby
What can i do
I'd treat you well
i"m right for you
It's too late now
You're gone forever
Now we'll never be together

I look at your cards
Your eyes met mine
I thought I'd forget you
And be just fine

But the thought of
You isn't misleading
And my heart just
Goes on bleeding
Why does love never
Work in my favor
Maybe it would have
Had I been braver
Maybe if I just approached and said hello
But I guess now I'll never know

Now I'm stuck here cutting all my losses
While my mind sends you red roses
