HALF A DOZEN ROSES

Damn, I've done it, done it again
She's with her mama, I'm with my friends
She tried to straighten, my whiskey bent
She's Mrs. Right, I'm Mr. Can't Commit

I was walking 'round overmedicated, self-deprecating
Half-assed loving her like

A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showing, she won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses, oh

Leaving words left on my tongue
Things I shoulda said, things I coulda done
That girl deserves a fight, not ashes in the wind
Nah, you can't fool her with

A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showing, she won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open (with a heart half open)
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses (roses)
Like a half a dozen roses

I was walking 'round overmedicated, self-deprecating
Half-assed loving her like

A half a dozen roses, half a glass of wine
Half a smoked Marlboro, ain't no wonder why
There's a picture of us broken, shattered on the floor
Her little way of showing, she won't have no more
She finally had enough of me only giving love with a heart half open
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
Like a half a dozen roses, roses, roses
