I've been working on this song on and off for months and months, so I got it down while it had some semblance of being whole today. Kinda wish I'd recorded the guitar and vocal on separate tracks, but it's a notebook style recording in a way, with overdubbed harmonies and guitar solo. I like it.

LYRIC

We are in tatters and the war is lost
We hurl the truth about, despite the cost
I'm in here
and you're in tears outside

You make love seem like such an awful thing
I shouldn't say it, don't say anything
Just hold it close
a lethal dose
well, here's to you!

I only wanted to be nearest to you
for you to love me even half as I you
to bring me roses in the night
and I'd love you

I still maintain you never made me lie
But now I'm wanting of an alibi
This is it
I'm done with it...

I only wanted to be nearest to you
for you to love me even half as I you
to bring me roses in the night
and I'd love you

(solo)

I only wanted to be nearest to you
for you to love me even half as I you
to bring me roses in the night
and I'd love you

I'd never leave you feeling sad and lonely
But I can never be your one and only
Don't bring me roses in the night
Just leave me be
Just leave me be
