I see you with her and I wish it was me
I think of what we were and what we could still be
I want to feel your arms
I want to taste your kiss
I want to melt in your eyes
Take me back to this

Just like that day you gave me white roses
Oh, sweet love of mine
I can still smell their scent
And hear those words you said and meant
When you handed me white roses

Forgive me, but I miss you and I really need you back
I’m so lost without you near; everything’s gone outta whack
You’ve gotta help me
I’m in an ocean
Drowning in despair
Give me your heart again

Just like that day you gave me white roses
Oh, sweet love of mine
I can still smell their scent
And hear those words you said and meant
When you handed me white roses

And in the middle of the bouquet
There was a fake rose and a note
Well, I still have them; they have meaning
Because this is what you wrote:
“I will love you ‘til the last rose dies.”
Oh, that rose, no, it ain’t dead yet

Just like that day you gave me white roses
Oh, sweet love of mine
I can still smell their scent
And hear those words you said and meant
When you handed me white roses

Yeah, I will love you ‘til the last rose dies
And that rose, oh that rose, no, it ain’t dead yet

I wrote this for a boy I dated for 6 months last year. A few months ago I wanted him back, so I wrote him this song. The song tells the story. (You'll be pleased to know we are back together.)
