Red Like Roses - Part II (feat. Casey Lee Williams & Sandy Casey)

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute
 Couldn't bear another day without you in it
 All of the joy that I had known for all my life
 Was stripped away from me the minute that you died
 To have you in my life was all I ever wanted
 But now without you, I'm a soul forever haunted
 Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted
 No way in hell that I can ever comprehend this
 I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone
 I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong
 How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?
 Now I'm stuck inside a nightmare every single effing day
 It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending
 Every scene fades black and there's no pretending
 This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well
 There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell
 I know you didn't plan this
 You tried to do what's right
 But in the middle of this madness
 I'm the one (I'm the one) you left to win this fight
 
 Red like roses
 Fills my head with dreams and finds me
 Always closer to the emptiness and sadness
 That has come to take the place of you
 I know you're broken down by anger and by sadness
 You feel I left you in a world that's full of madness
 Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute
 Make you understand the reasons why I did it
 I wanna tell you that you're all that ever mattered
 Want you to know that for eternity I'm shattered
 I tried so hard just to protect you but I failed to
 And in a prison of abandonment I've jailed you
 I never planned that I would leave you there alone
 I was sure that I would see you when I made it back home
 And all the times I swore that it would be okay
 Now I'm nothing but a liar and you're thrown into the fray
 This bedtime story ends with misery ever after
 The pages are torn and there's no final chapter
 I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do
 I made a sacrifice but forced a bigger sacrifice on you
 I know you've lived a nightmare
 I caused us so much pain
 But baby, please don't do what I did
 I don't want (I don't want) you to waste your life in vain
 
 Red like roses
 Fills my head with dreams and finds me
 Always closer to the emptiness and sadness
 That has come to take the place of you
 You're not the only one who needed me
 I thought you understood
 You were the one I needed
 And you left me as I always feared you would
 Would I change it if I could?
 It doesn't matter how
 The petals scatter now
 Every nightmare just discloses
 It's your blood that's red like roses
 And no matter what I do
 Nothing ever takes the place of you
