bouquet of roses

i'm sending you a big bouquet of roses

one for every time you broke my heart

and as the door of love between us closes

tears will fall like petals when we part

i begged you to be different

but you'll always be untrue

i'm tired of forgiving

now there's nothing left to do

so i'm sending you a big bouquet of roses

one for every time you broke my heart

you made our lover's lane a road of sorrow

'til at last we have to say goodbye

you're leaving me to face each new tomorrow

with a broken heart you taught to cry

i know that i should hate you

after all you've put me through

but how can i be bitter

when i'm still in love with you

so i'm sending you a big bouquet of roses

one for every time you broke my heart.
