Obelus - Black Rose (feat. Zachary Christiansen)

We met eyes and you said hello
And only now I realize
That was the day I found out what they mean by butterflies
Didn't say a word because my
Stomach was up in my throat
From then and still now I know
You're the most precious thing that I would hold
You fixed all that was broke and for once I felt I was whole
When the sun peeped through my window and lit up those eyes like gold
I desperately wanted to freeze time and hold onto that moment and never let go
I saw your face in the clouds
I wanted to write your name with the stars
No matter how lost I was in the sky I'd always find my way back to where you are
I was never too far
I fell hard without anything to catch myself on
You became everything
Every somber night and every love song
You let me in with every shed tear and every 'what's wrong?'
You wore your heart on your forearm
But you always wore your sleeves long
Still I've never been the type to ever get my hopes up
I tried to let you leave but for some reason you just won't budge
And I knew I wasn't anything that you would ever last through
Until the day you told me you loved me
But you didn't have to
Worried 'bout what's next like a bullet in your chest
Put in so much time and effort please don't turn out like the rest
And I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do
But I just don't want to sit here wasting all my life on you
You're a thorn stuck in my side that I'm taking out tonight
Sure it might hurt now but I gotta make it right
Please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed our time it's true
But I gotta do my thing so the first thing that I'll do is say
You no longer feel like home
You are black rose beautiful
So I can't sit here through your life
Waiting on my funeral
You no longer feel like home
You are black rose beautiful
So I can't sit here through your life
Waiting on my funeral
It's been a few years now and we've had less ups than we've had downs
And you put up all these impassable walls I just can't seem to get around
And every time you open your mouth, I'm nervously thinking you're kicking me out
Every breath that you take and movement you make
I'm searching for signs to show me the way out
'Cause I'm sick of this scenic route
How long has the needle been on E now?
Bitch if it runs out, you can get out and walk
I got AAA on speed dial
I never wanna hurt you
But it's so easy for you to fuckin' do
As long as you're doing anything but telling me the fucking truth
How do you see me writhing in pain and sit there quiet?
It's driving me fucking insane
It's like watching this home we built burn down standing inside it
And all that'll be left behind is that stupid diamond
I spent my life's savings on just to show you I'm trying
Last night I swear I heard you crying
So don't try and tell me you don't fucking love me anymore
You turned back twice with teary eyes and walked out that door
Thanks for proving to me I'm nothing we could ever last through
You turned this forever into never again
But you didn't have to
Worried 'bout what's next like a bullet in your chest
Put in so much time and effort please don't turn out like the rest
And I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do
But I just don't want to sit here wasting all my life on you
You're a thorn stuck in my side that I'm taking out tonight
Sure it might hurt now but I gotta make it right
Please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed our time it's true
But I gotta do my thing so the first thing that I'll do is say
You no longer feel like home
You are black rose beautiful
So I can't sit here through your life
Waiting on my funeral
You no longer feel like home
You are black rose beautiful
So I can't sit here through your life
Waiting on my funeral
