Hmm
Think about your lips and the way they kiss
There's so much I really miss about you
Sitting on the beach, you were still in reach
And I haven't felt free without you
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need
So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices, even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I shared them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you, mmm
You've been on my mind, every single night
I can't visualize life without you
I've been tryna go a week without losing sleep
But there's something that I need to go through
All of the memories feel like magic
All of the fighting seems so sweet
All that we were, my love, was tragic
And you're the last thing that I need
So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices, even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I shared them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
So I lay a dozen roses for the lover that I've lost
I stand by all my choices, even though I paid the cost
Oh, all those nights, the lows and highs
I shared them all with you
So I lay a dozen roses
I lay them there, I lay them there for you
