Now you only bring me black roses I lay low, lay low, And they crumble in the dust when they're held. I'm not under your spell, And watch the bridges burn. Under your spell. Now you only bring me black roses. And I'm done try'na be the one, I can see

When it came to love I thought we had enough Then again, what do I know? I'm just another boy in another band You're just another girl I put in a song I watched her pack up her mink coat, pink stilettos, rosary She turned and said she was going, chasing

Now you only bring me black roses I lay low, lay low, And they crumble in the dust when they're held. I'm not under your spell, And watch the bridges burn. Under your spell. Now you only bring me black roses. And I'm done try'na be the one, I can see
