Funeral For A Friend
"Roses For The Dead"


Just to say we're sorry
For the black eyes and bleeding lips
And its hard to forget
How many lies we told
Or how old we'd grown
Before I said goodbye
So lets scrape our knees
On the playground
Its not your fault
You feel ok
Its too late in the day
Its not your fault
You feel betrayed
You cant come out to play
I never listened to a word
You never said
I never listened to a word
You never said
Wasting the hours now
We're all suckers for tragedies
And start this over again
And you bring us to our knees
As sunrise comes
And the story will sell
A few hundred papers
So we'll follow you up
So raise your hands up high
And let this rain pour on
So raise your hands up high
And wash us away
Like innocence and childbirth
You look just like your mother
You look just like your father
Forgive him our father
Your son is smiling
