If I put my heart on paper
You'd rip it, tear it from my chest
But I'll try to put this broken heart on paper
For you

The last rose you gave me
Finally wilted today
It was the long-stemmed red one
You gave me before you went away
I picked off all the petals
And let them float to the floor
Those were my first flowers baby
I've never watched roses die before
Ever since you've gone
I've cried a river from my eyes
I didn't know I'd miss you so much
When we sang our bittersweet goodbyes

I cried a tear and it fell in the ocean
When I find that tear
I'll stop loving you
I'll wait until the waves stop rolling
And the seashells lose their sound
That's when
I'll stop loving you
When there are no stars left in the sky
When all the red roses wilt and die
Baby
That's when
I'll stop loving you

I received your letter
Scented with her perfume
I couldn't read your handwriting
But I cried all afternoon
I know you can't have rainbow
Without first enduring the rain
But I've spent so many days
Watching raindrops on the windowpane
Ever since you've gone
There's been tempestuous skies
I didn't know it would hurt so much
When we sung our bittersweet goodbyes

I cried a tear and it fell in the ocean
When I find that tear
I'll stop loving you
I'll wait until the waves stop rolling
And the seashells lose their sound
That's when
I'll stop loving you
When there are no stars left in the sky
When all the red roses wilt and die
Baby
That's when
I'll stop loving you

If I put my heart on paper
You'd rip it, tear it from my chest
But I'll try to put this broken heart on paper
For you

The last rose you gave me
Finally wilted today
And I found myself regretting
All things I didn't say
I can't believe you're gone
After all those moonlit confessions
I never thought I'd lose you
To one of life's painful lessons
Ever since you've gone
I've been searching for truth in my lies
I didn't know I needed you so much
Until we sung those bittersweet goodbyes

I cried a tear and it fell in the ocean
When I find that tear
I'll stop loving you
I'll wait until the waves stop rolling
And the seashells lose their sound
That's when
I'll stop loving you
When there are no stars left in the sky
When all the red roses wilt and die
Baby
That's when
I'll stop loving you

I knew that I loved you
But I didn't realise
I didn't know I'd die inside
When we sung our bittersweet goodbyes
