roses

Hunter Hayes

Red and white, check out line
That they d have to do this to me
I almost made it out with just a bottle of wine
Single here, dozen there
Doesn t make a difference
Cause every petal on the floor reminds me why

I don t go out with hopes up of meeting someone
I don t mix drinks with wishing I ll find what I won t

And I don t buy roses
I don t have the strength to watch another good thing die
I m lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight

Know I could, know I should add a little color
Try to make this empty house feel like home (like home)
But what s it worth?
Nobody sees and nobody s coming over
Just like me, they ll sit in this living room alone (alone)

I m better off broken
Keeps me out of danger
I don t call up old numbers again to give mind to strangers

And I don t buy roses
I don t have the strength to watch another good thing die
I m lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
Oh, tonight

Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

And I don t buy roses
I don t have the strength to watch another good thing die
I m lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
