Blood on the petals

I found you by the garden gate
With thorns wrapped 'round your wrist
You said you'd never leave me here
But love became a twist
We planted roses, planted dreams
You buried something else
Now I'm standing in the dark alone
With ghosts nobody else can feel


[Pre Chorus]

Red blooms where you used to stand
Sweet poison in your hand

[Chorus]

There's murder in the rose garden tonight
Where we carved our names in stone
You took the color from my life
And left me here alone
Murder in the rose garden, yeah
Where the flowers never lie
You killed the guy I used to be
Beneath the summer sky

You gave me rings of broken glass
Called them diamonds, dear
You smiled while you were breaking me
But I just played along here
The garden keeper asked me why
The roses turned so black
I told him that some things just die
And they don't come back


[Pre Chorus]

Red blooms where you used to stand
Sweet poison in your hand

[Chorus]

There's murder in the rose garden tonight
Where we carved our names in stone
You took the color from my life
And left me here alone
Murder in the rose garden, yeah
Where the flowers never lie
You killed the guy I used to be
Beneath the summer sky

[Bridge]

Now I'm watering the ground
With everything you've done
I'm growing something beautiful
From all your lies, my love!!

[Final Chorus]

There's murder in the rose garden tonight
But I'm taking back my throne
I'm painting all the petals gold
And making it my own
Murder in the rose garden, yeah
I'm the one who'll survive
I'm the guy you tried to bury
And I'm coming back alive
