HALF A DOZEN ROSES lyrics
by Graham Barham
[Verse 1]
Damn, I done it, done it again
She's with her mama, I'm with my friends
She tried to straighten my whiskey bend
She misses right, I'm Mister Can't Commit
I was walkin' around, overmedicated
Self-deprecating, half-assed love in her lack
[Chorus]
A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showin'
She won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Leavin' words left on my tongue
Things I shoulda said, things I coulda done
That girl deserves a fire
Not ashes in the wind, now you can't put it with
[Chorus]
A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showin'
She won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open
Her heart half open
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Like a half a dozen roses
[Chorus]
I was walkin' around overmedicated, self-deprecating, half-assed love in her lack
A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showin'
She won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
