Roses For The Dead Lyrics - Funeral For A Friend

Just to say we're sorry 

For the black eyes and bleeding lips 

When it's hard to forget 

How many lies we told 

Or how we'd grow 

Before I said goodbye 

So let's scrape our knees 

On the playground 

It's not your fault 

You feel okay 

It's too late in the day 

It's not your fault 

You feel betrayed 

And can't come now 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 

It's not your fault 

You feel okay 

It's too late in the day 

It's not your fault 

You feel betrayed 

And can't come out to play 

I never listened to a word 

You never said 

I never listened to a word 

You never said 

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 

And you look just like your father 

Forgive him, our father 

Your son is smiling 

So lay roses around you
