Hillcrest Road - Red Ink For Roses lyrics

On the top bunk on top of her
Mending fences is no longer an option
Burning bridges is so much easier
My kerosene soaked jeans won't lie

Tear stains soak through your sleeves
Catch them quick, don't let them go to waste
Silent sobs as I leave
I'm too young for all this heartache
Too old for this melodrama

You see it You want it
Go ahead I'll let you take it
You had it You lost it
Now you'll never get it back

Condescending
We're pretending everything is alright
Our scars are mending
Now it's ending
You didn't see the light

You say pretty girls come and go
And they do just like you
Light me a cigarette
For the nights I lost to you
Bury them alive and bury you too

Cause I could slay you in a song
In more ways than you'd imagine
But that's not the kind of man I am
I'm no more than a boy
Wishing for a happy ending
That'll never come

So go ahead and slit your wrists
Embrace the blade's steel cold kiss
And if I see you with your hand in his
Rest assured my dear, the shot won't miss
