The Subject Never Was Roses

from Panama by Bill White

/

lyrics

the valentine you gave me
two dinosaurs on the front
what a pair we are, it said
when i opened it up
i gave you chocolate and roses
you curled my toes
valentines day is coming around again
and im holding the rose

chorus
you say you dont want roses
you dont like chocolate no more
the battle of the sexes
escalated to a war
so dont even ask me
what im thinking of
the subject never was roses
the subject is love

you were at a party
the night i crashed the car
the party was still going on
when the casts came off my arms
i should have known our love was dying
i should have taken my cue
when you went shopping for my ibirthday
and bought yourself a new pair of shoes

repeat chorus

the pages of life
keep falling out
like leaves rotting on the ground
when you try press them
back into the book
that old book comes unbound
a bitter wind rises
blows the roses away
from the unfinished story
the curtain falls before the end of the play

repeat chorus
