Roses

Lord i'm so lonely
 How will i ever find my way
 I look out my window
 Rain's falling down just like the tears on my face
 It feels like this pain could last forever
 Now that i know she's not comin back
 So many things that i tried to say
 It didn't matter she wouldn't stay
 I smelled the roses the other day
 When she walked away
 She had her reasons
 She never felt there was a need to explain
 And she won't be knockin'
 And she won't be callin on the phone
 It feels like this pain could last forever
 Now that i know she's not comin back
 So many things that i tried to say
 It didn't matter she wouldn't stay
 I smelled the roses the other day
 When she walked away
 I smelled the roses the other day
 When she walked away
 So many things that i tried to say
 It didn't matter she wouldn't stay
 I smelled the roses the other day
 When she walked away
 So many things that i tried to say, darlin
 It didn't matter she wouldn't stay no, no, no
 I smelled the roses the other day
 When she walked away
 I woke up to smell them roses
 When she walked away
