One More Time

Throw out the rosebud
you don't need it now
It's not in bloom
and you need a flower

I offered you love from the palm of my hand
I didn't expect you to notice or understand
I gave you the fragilest part of me
but now I know better so come set me free

Lie next to me
One more time
I'll hand you back yours
if you give me back mine

And you spoke every word
I'd been needing to hear
But you changed your mind
you're allowed to here

You offered me love from the scars on your skin
I thought that you knew what you wanted back then
But you ended up siding with conscience and fears
that I still had though I thought they'd disappeared

Lie next to me
One more time
I'll hand you back yours
if you give me back mine

Oh give me back the time when I knew nothing of that was coming my way
Oh give me back hours and hours of laughing in an inside corner cafe
Oh give me back the moments you thought we could be
Oh give me back the feel of cold tiles under my feet
And maybe, maybe
I'll find some peace

Lie next to me
One more time
Lie to me
say you're mine
Lie next to me
and say goodbye
I'll hand you back all of your pride
if you promise to give me back mine
if you promise to give me back mine
