like overnight i turned into somebody
neither one would recognize
don't know how it happened
who what when or why i was set free
to be trapped up inside
for the rest of my days i'm going to love you
i'm sorry i'm so strange
for the rest of my days i will be thinking of you
funny how nothing has changed
how i wish i could replace
these black thorns with red roses
and give them to you as i smile and cry
but as this life has it i'll leave a scratch mark
and smell much prettier as i die
