A youthful fellow humbly came into a flower store A present for a pretty girl is what he′s looking for He knows that she is wild about handsome yellow blooms How many roses in the room... That′s good one, he presumes
A yellow rose for Michelle A rose for Michelle We disagreed but now it has no sense A yellow rose for Michelle A rose for Michelle I know I′m wrong but give me one last chance I′ll never fail...
An undertaker′s car has stopped beside a flower store A bunch of roses for a girl that died the night before Her crying parents said that she adored some yellow plants There is a lot of stuff like that... Let′s buy it all at once!
A yellow rose for Michelle A rose for Michelle We disagreed but now it has no sense A yellow rose for Michelle A rose for Michelle I know I′m wrong but give me one last chance I′ll never fail... I′ll never fail... I′ll never fail... I′ll never fail!
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, you were talking so brave and so sweet, giving me head on the unmade bed, while the limousines wait in the street. Those were the reasons and that was New York, we were running for the money and the flesh. And that was called love for the workers in song probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn′t you babe, you just turned your back on the crowd, you got away, I never once heard you say, I need you, I don′t need you, I need you, I don′t need you and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel you were famous, your heart was a legend. You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception. And clenching your fist for the ones like us who are oppressed by the figures of beauty, you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
And then you got away, didn′t you babe...
I don′t mean to suggest that I loved you the best, I can′t keep track of each fallen robin. I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that′s all, I don′t even think of you that often.
True I wasn′t there for you, Told me that I hurt you deeply, too young to know what to do, 16 and I have no worries When I saw that picture of you, I had to find the daughter I never knew
My abscess grows, I reap what I sew, these mistakes are my own, they′ll tell you′re not alone
Locked behind those bars of you, wish there was a way I could help, too young to know what to do, lessons burn the point you′ve proven This love is complicated and bruised, realize what makes me makes you
My abscess grows, I reap what I sew, these mistakes are my own, they′ll tell you′re not alone Time to take it slow all this anger letting go, my child I long to hold all this anger I know I′m not a lord, I was never a saint, gotta take what you got cuz I′m nothing you ain′t If I gave you the world would you throw it away, better keep your chin up You can abuse it, you can use it, you can go right back down that line, living life with pain Never erase it, now you know
I′ll be here your future′s fading, understand what I′m explaining, I went in anticipating, I′ll b here your future′s fading
My abscess grows, I reap what I sew, these mistakes are my own, they′ll tell you′re not alone Time to take it slow all this anger letting go, my child I long to hold all this anger let it go
Little one can′t you see I wanna let you go, don′t you be like me
I′ve got a secret, It′s on the tip of my tongue, It′s on the back of my lungs, And I′ve got to keep it! I know something you don′t know. Oh!
It sits in silence Eats away at me It feeds like cancer This guilt could fill a fucking sea Pulling teeth Wolves at my door Now falling and falling is all I know!
This disease is getting worse I counted my blessings, Now I′ll count this curse! The only thing I really know... I can′t sleep at night I am buried and breathing in regret.. YEAA! The only thing I really know, I can′t sleep at night I am buried and breathing in regret!
I′ve got a secret, It′s on the tip of my tongue, It′s in the back of my lungs, And I’ve got to keep it. I know something you don′t know!
I′ve got a secret, It′s on the tip of my tongue, It′s in the back of my lungs, And I’ve got to keep it. I know something you don′t know!
I may look happy, but honestly dear The only way I′ll really smile, is if you cut me ear to ear I see the vultures, they watch me bleed They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me
Repent, Repent! The end is nigh! Repent, Repent! We’re all going to die! Repent, Repent! These secrets will kill us! So get on your knees And pray for…
Repent, Repent! The end is nigh! Repent, Repent! We’re all going to die! Repent, Repent! These secrets will kill us! So get on your knees And pray for forgiveness!
We all carry these things Inside that no one else can see They hold us down like anchors They drown us at sea I look up to the sky They may be nothing there to see But if I don′t believe in him Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me? Why would he believe in me?
I′ve got a secret, It′s on the tip of my tongue, It′s in the back of my lungs, And I’ve got to keep it, I know something you don′t know!
I′ve got a secret, It′s on the tip of my tongue, It′s in the back of my lungs, And I’ve got to keep it, I know something you will never know! You will never know! I know something you don′t know!
