Description
Sometimes getting dumped on Valentines Day by your dream girl can lead to the greatest relationship of your life. I was told that "Roses Don't mean a thing" by my college romance. After dealing with the heartbreak for years, I met my wife, had a kid and realized that there's a good reason people get dumped!
Lyrics
When I saw your face the other day You were slippin’ from a smile I see that somethin’s changed In the way you stage your style I think you’re going down You used to widen eyes, brighten skies, Pull out reds from the grays Now your colors fade into a haze of brown, You no longer live for today I hope you still remember the times when you said: “Roses don’t mean a thing, not to you, not from me” You just sit by the phone, watch it ring and ring and ring Singin’ old country songs, goin’ ding-a-ling-a-ling Sayin’ “Roses they don’t mean a thing, not to me” When you walked away into the grazing crowd, I think you muttered my name You couldn’t come clean, get down from your cloud I had to slip you away When I told you I want you, all you could say: “Roses don’t mean a thing..” I whispered all my dreams in your ear, never heard I put my hands on you, and reached right through, Not so cool Now the time is here, there’s nothing to fear, So I keep on moving along Family time is mine, so clean up the dining room, And set that table for three. And thank the girls of my past for saying to me: “Roses don’t mean a thing..”
