Kicking Roses

Kicking Roses - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Tell me why you're

Kicking every rose

That you come across

Walking like

A man that

You never been

So lost

And I know that

You say that

Your heart

Never breaks

Well come on lover

I see through

What you say

Tell me why picking

Up on everything

That's going wrong

Shooting for the moon

The gravity

Is hanging on

You try

To deny

What is inside

But the beat of your

Heart

Is paralysed

Do you know

Do you know

Every stone

That you throw

Will ricochet

Back around to

Where you stand

Hand in hand

Going it alone

Don't you see

Don't you see

You were never

Gonna be saved

By kicking roses

Where you stand

Hand in hand

Going it alone

Tell me why you're

Leaving every home

You've been living in

Picking up where

You left off

Pulling out

Of anything

And I know that

You say that

Your heart

Never breaks

Well come on lover

I see through

What you say

Do you know

Do you know

Every stone

That you throw

Will ricochet back

Around to

Where you stand

Hand in hand

Going it alone

Don't you see

Don't you see

You were never

Gonna be

Saved

By kicking roses

Where you stand

Hand in hand

Going it alone
