Song

Lyrics

Casey Lee Williams: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 trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing 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 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



Sandy Casey: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 that’s been thrown into the fray

This bedtime story isn’t ‘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 and forced a bigger sacrifice on you

I know you lived a nightmare

I caused you so much pain

But, baby, please don’t do what I did

I don’t want you to waste your life in vain



Casey Lee Williams: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



Sandy Casey:You’re not the only one who needed me I thought you understood

Casey Lee Williams:You were the one I needed and you left me and I always feared you would

Sandy Casey:Would I change it if I could?

Sandy and Casey Lee:It doesn’t matter how.

The petals scattered now.

Every nightmare does disclose this.

It’s your blood that’s red like roses,

Casey Lee Williams:And no matter what I do,

Nothing ever takes the place of you



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
