I Can Buy My Own Roses

The flowers you sent came to my door

And I know what you sent them for

The card said you were sorry as can be

But angry words we said last night

Still hurt me in the morning light

And they won't disappear that easily

I know that your intentions are sincere

I say the words but you don't seem to hear

I can buy my own roses

But that's not what I need to make it okay

I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty

That's the way that I want you to show it

I can buy my own roses

Pink balloons and chocolate hearts

You try to use like cupid darts

But you're the only one they help to heal

What will it take to make you see

The best gift you could give to me

Is taking time to know the way I feel

The truth hurts but it's worse if I pretend

And I don't want your apology again

I can buy my own roses

That's not what I need to make it okay

I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty

That's the way that I want you to show it

I can buy my own roses

I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty

That's the way that I want you to show it

I can buy my own roses, I can buy my own roses
