Red Roses and Lies
Written by Edward A Gowens (BMI), Bill Sterling (BMI) and Donna Ray (BMI)
(Intro)
There you are…. out on…. that dance floor again
Right after…. you told me…. good bye
I hope that you…. treat her better…. than you treated me
All you gave me were Roses and Lies
(CHORUS)
Red Roses and Lies, Red Roses and Lies)
You gave me red roses then told me more Lies
When you left me, you didn’t even tell me Goodbye
You just sent me red roses and told me more lies
(Full verse Pedal Steel Instrumental)
It Makes me wonder…what I did…that was so wrong
Did I love you…too much…from the start
I would give… to you…everything …that I owned
You took it all…. and then you broke my heart
(Bridge)
You were ready to leave. I could see it in your eyes
All you ever gave me were Roses and Lies
(CHORUS)
Red Roses and Lies, Red Roses and Lies
You gave me Red roses then told me more Lies
When you left me, you didn’t even tell me Goodbye
You just sent me Red roses and told me more lies
