Buy Me a Rose

Lyrics

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
 But it tears her apart 'cause nothing's for her heart
 ♪
 He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight
 If he could only read her mind, she'd say
 Buy me a rose
 Call me from work
 Open a door for me what would it hurt?
 Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
 These are the little things
 I need the most in my life
 Yeaaah
 
 Now the days have grown
 To years of feeling all alone
 As she sits and wonders if all she's doin is wrong
 
 Cos lately she'd try anything just to turn his head
 Would it make a difference if she'd say, if she'd say:
 Buy me a rose
 Call me from work
 Open the door for me what would it hurt?
 Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
 These are the little things
 I need the most in my life
 And the more that he lives
 The less that he tries
 To show her the love that he holds inside
 And the more that she gives
 The more that he sees
 This is the story of you
 And me
 So I bought you a rose
 On the way home from work
 To open the door to a heart that I hurt
 And I hoped you noticed this look in my eyes
 Cause im gonna make things right
 ♪
 For the rest of your life(rest of your life)
 And I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight
 Do all those little things
 For the rest of your life (Oh your life)
