Roses lyrics

So now you're asking who stole your freedom When the truth is you gave it away You've been selling yourself short And now you're dragging your ball and chain You're building your own cage Laying roses on your own grave You can tell your girlfriend to snuff it And then convince yourself how you've changed Well, it's just another nail in your coffin If you think it's all just a game You can make your way to the window See what tomorrow holds in store But it's just like chasing your shadow If you think it's not your own fault
