Lyrics

Red comforter, gold tones Soft groans and secret moans Ambitious desires 2 Hearts fires Blazing for better B’cause the 2 needs R of different measure Out of balance Misuses until a callous Forms over feelings Mindless dealings Constant voices skinned As family and friend But unmasked as a wolf Only time alone is left to be understood (Chorus) You see, this is why roses cry This is why roses die What really matters As Roses Thirst in Atlanta Lessons to be learned On either side as bridges are burned The light so bright That eyes are welded blind Tears no longer fall Cheeks left dry after all Is said and done All the Ha Ha’s laughed in fun But merely lies to try and disguise The foolish from the wise Questions asked without reason Answers given out of season But still the fall always lands right on time As time continues to unwind (Chorus) You see…This is why roses cry This is why some roses die But some find what really matters As Roses Thirst in Atlanta Delicate is the nature of those Who love, seek, and know hope But who allow actions to unclothe The bud from the soil, a dream, but never a rose All burnt up by the sun in smoke Some call it a sweet fragrance Others call it vagrant Retaliation against love itself And so, hearts melt Addicted to the beating from belts Reliving bad experiences swelled And left with marks Called scars all over hearts Leaving no tears to care for drought Anger nor pain can come out Only numbness to the weather As rose buds wither And wait for the next rain To beat upon foreign leaves to relieve the pain (Chorus) This is why roses cry This is why some roses die But some find what really matters As Roses Thirst in Atlanta That’s yo’ man, right? But yo’ man ain’t right Last night yo’ man Was callin’ out O’man To another man But he kept that secret from you Until all the clues Showed up as bed news From results of last month’s physical It’s too late to share reciprocal Love and forgiveness Sealed in the eternal kiss Shared before the witness of the Almighty When he has given you the gift of H.I.V. This is why roses cry This is why some roses die But some find what really matters As Roses Thirst in Atlanta
