Song Lyrics

"Bed Of Roses"

Sitting here wasted and wounded

At this old piano

Trying hard to capture

The moment this morning I don't know

'Cause a bottle of vodka

Is still lodged in my head

And some blonde gave me nightmares

I think that she's still in my bed

As I dream about movies

They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and

French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

Its own beat in my head

While we're talking

About all of the things that I long to believe

About love and the truth and

What you mean to me

And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home

A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night

Just to see through this payphone

Still I run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper,

Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

I might have said yeah

But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonight I won't be alone

But you know that don't

Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove

For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses

For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

The Past

Intro:

I was wrong when I hurt you

But did you have to hurt me too

Did you think revenge will make it better?

I don't care about the past

I just want our love to last

There's a way to bring us back together

Chorus:

I must forgive you

You must forgive me too

If we wanna try to put things back

The way they used to be

'Cause there's no sense in going over and over

The same things as before

So let's not bring the past back anymore

Out of all the good we had

You only keep track of the bad

Though you knew I never really loved her

Didn't anyone tell you yet

That to forgive is to forget

How can you be mad if you don't remember

Repeat Chorus:

I must forgive you

And you must forgive me too

It's the only thing that's left

That we haven't try to do

One thing that I'm sure will work

That we haven't tried before

Let's not bring the past up anymore

"Don't Speak"

You and me

We used to be together

Everyday together always

I really feel

That I'm losing my best friend

I can't believe

This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go

And if it's real

Well I don't want to know

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories

Well, they can be inviting

But some are altogether

Mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I

With my head in my hands

I sit and cry

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending

I gotta stop pretending who we are...

You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak

I know just what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

I don't need your reasons

Don't tell me cause it hurts

Don't tell me cause it hurts!

I know what you're saying

So please stop explaining

Don't speak,

don't speak,

don't speak,

oh I know what you're thinking

And I don't need your reasons

I know you're good,

I know you're good,

I know you're real good

Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la

Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'

Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush

don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'

Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
