Rose Songtext
von Telltale

Place your conscience on me (it′s too heavy, it's too heavy)
You′ve been barking so loud, the whole town knows we're guilty
Been feeding into arrogance, slipping off my skin like the others did
(Sinners and saints lie side by side)
Time after time, we wake up dressed in black, but went to bed in white

Because I'm passive-aggressive when I′m alone with myself
And then I′m downright possessive if I'm with anyone else
You should know by now that I′m a red flag through a rose lens
And I'll let you down again

(Down again, down again)
(And I′ll let you down again)
(Down again, down again)
(And I'll let you down again)

My head will always be a wishing well (always be a wishing well)
You throw a penny in and hope for anything, but nothing ever happens
I′m not your genie in a bottle or a shooting star
All that you'll ever find within me is a Telltale heart
And I'll keep pounding at your brain from underneath the floorboards


Because I′m passive-aggressive when I′m alone with myself
And then I'm downright possessive if I′m with anyone else
You should know by now, that I'm a red flag through a rose lens

And I′ll let you down again (down again, down again)
And I'll let you down again (down again, down again)
And I′ll let you down again (down again, down again)
And I'll let you down again (down again, down again)
And I'll let you down again

(Here I go again) making empty promises
(Here I go again) saving face with all your friends
(Here I go again) face down when the party ends
(Here I go again, here I go again)

Because I′m passive-aggressive when I′m alone with myself
And then I'm downright possessive if I′m with anyone else

Because I'm passive-aggressive when I′m alone with myself
And then I'm downright possessive if I′m with anyone else
You should know by now, that I'm a red flag through a rose lens
And I'll let you down again

(Down again, down again)
(And I′ll let you down again)
(Down again, down again)
And I′ll let you down again
