What do I do
What do I do now that the roses have drifted away
Tell me, did they wither in the hot heat of the sun
Were they swept away in the wind or drowned in the rain
Why do you have to lie
I never meant to cut away your defenses
But if avoidance makes you feel safer
Could you say something that makes sense
So as to save me from my own imagination
Words intended to release rhyme never do
Drive down a road that's like a beam of light
And you'll find that though it never bends, it's never straight
Cause nowhere except in the words of a song is life ever certain
If I could just yell
I'd quit this "Nice Guy" persona
Cause who needs a perfect voice
When you're never heard above the crowd
If I could learn to scream
Maybe something useful would come out
What do I do
What do I do now that the roses have drifted away
Tell me, did they wither in the hot heat of the sun
Were they swept away in the wind or drowned in the rain
You said, "You always find something say!"
But what do I do now that the roses have drifted all away
What do I do... do I do... do I do that hasn't been done
Love intended to work is only love waiting to fail
This life is like a chalk outline around a fallen angel
And you'll find that though it never dies it never tries to get up
Cause nowhere execpt in the words of a song is life ever safe
