Poisoned Rose

The poisoned rose

That you gave to me

It left me half alive

And half in ecstasy



But if half of your love

Is all i can win

Give me just a fraction

But no more medicine



The poisoned rose

On a valentine card

That you take straight to the heart

That you call my junkyard



But if all i can do

Is save pieces of you

The piece of your mind

The piece of your heart



Didn't tear me apart

Like the poisoned rose

I received from you



I don't know

How we came to grow

Into this very sad affair

Everytime we do the decent thing

Somebody spikes the drink

And a single becomes a pair



The poisoned rose

That you wear at your best

That i keep pressed between the white sheets

Where you lie half undressed



I threw away my shirt and shoes

You looked and i dived in

It's just you and me now

'cause i threw away the gin

I threw away your alibis

And all your worn-out clothes

I threw myself upon the floor

But i couldn't throw away

This poisoned rose

This poisoned rose

This poisoned rose
