I'm resigned to my fate.
Of misery and hate.
No longer searching for perfection,
I've accepted my life of rejection.
Now I can finally say,
I'm throwing my past away.
Your betrayal had damaged my heart and mind,
But thanks to you they're not so blind.
Your black roses have no thorns.
So I'll get lost beneath the waves.
I'll drown in my own thoughts,
And pray I never get saved.

I was just thinking about black roses. Hope you like it!
