Dearest (Tulips and Roses)

Dearest (Tulips and Roses) [first draft]

Stumbled upon my ignorance today
Broken news shattered my grasp
Of what was everything that we thought
And you still think it, and it's not in me to ask

Don't worry dearest
I thought he loved you too

Stumbled upon my cowardice today
I'm scared, and that's wrong, because scared means you're weak
But you walk like you're aware while I know you're not
He's found something else and he's left you alone
And he didn't even know

Don't worry dearest
I thought he loved you too

The things that happen every day
Are the ones that I'm scared to face
And the words that no one ever wants to speak
Are what has to happen every day
Tomorrow I'll say what I know today

Don't worry dearest
I thought he loved you too

Dearest, today you're not the one
He's gone, he's gone
Dearest, today you're not the one
And it breaks me to break it like this
