[Verse 1:]
I can see your eyes staring into mine.
But it´s a battlefield and you´re on the other side.
You can throw your words sharper than a knife.
And leave me cold in another house on fire.
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn.
I lay low, lay low, what more could I have done?
[Chorus:]
Now you only bring me black roses.
And they crumble in the dust when they´re held.
Now you only bring me black roses
under your spell.
[Verse 2:]
She told me twice, all her good advice.
But I couldn´t see I was clouded by your lies.
You can smoke, a vision she foretold.
She said stay away ´cause that boys a warning sign.
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn.
[Chorus:]
Now you only bring me black roses.
And they crumble in the dust when they´re held.
Now you only bring me black roses
under your spell.
[Bridge:]
And I´m done try´na be the one,
picking up the broken pieces.
And I´m done try´na be the one,
who says I love you dear.
But I´m leaving.
[Chorus:]
Now you only bring me black roses.
And they crumble in the dust when they´re held.
Now you only bring me black roses
but I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell.
Oooooooh, oooh,
oooooooh
I can see your eyes staring into mine.
But it´s a battlefield and you´re on the other side.
You can throw your words sharper than a knife.
And leave me cold in another house on fire.
I lay low, lay low, and watch the bridges burn.
I lay low, lay low, what more could I have done?
[Chorus:]
Now you only bring me black roses.
And they crumble in the dust when they´re held.
Now you only bring me black roses
under your spell.

And I´m done try´na be the one,

[Chorus:]
Now you only bring me black roses.
And they crumble in the dust when they´re held.
Now you only bring me black roses
but I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell,
I´m not under your spell.
Oooooooh, oooh,
oooooooh
