[Intro: Intimate acoustic guitar picking joined by a sweeping, mournful cello] [Verse 1: Male Vocal] The flowers on the table are turning brown Like every other dream in this sleepy town I pour another glass of this cheap red wine And try to convince myself that you are mine The record player spins a velvet tune Underneath the light of a pale white moon [Verse 2: Female Vocal] I’m wearing that dress you used to adore Now it’s just a costume lying on the floor The perfume has faded, the glamour is dead I replay all the cruel things that we said Your silhouette is painted on the living room wall I’m waiting for the final curtain to fall [Pre-Chorus: Both] The petals are dropping one by one Our beautiful tragedy has barely begun [Chorus: Both] Wilted roses and a glass of cheap wine Walking on the edge of a dangerous line We romanticize the sorrow, we worship the pain Dancing in the eye of a hurricane Kiss me with the flavor of regret on your breath Loving you, darling, is a beautiful death [Instrumental Interlude: Heartbreaking cello solo over acoustic chords] [Verse 3: Male Vocal] I touch your face but you feel so cold A masterpiece of art growing tired and old [Female Vocal] We swore we’d be different, we swore we'd survive But we're barely breathing, we're barely alive [Pre-Chorus: Both] The petals are dropping one by one Our beautiful tragedy has barely begun [Chorus: Both] Wilted roses and a glass of cheap wine Walking on the edge of a dangerous line We romanticize the sorrow, we worship the pain Dancing in the eye of a hurricane Kiss me with the flavor of regret on your breath Loving you, darling, is a beautiful death [Bridge: Both] [Male Vocal] Pour it out. [Female Vocal] Let it stain. [Both] We find our comfort in the pouring rain. No more illusions, no more disguise Just the empty truth in your beautiful eyes. [Outro: Both] Wilted roses... [Male Vocal]: Petals on the floor. [Female Vocal]: Can't hurt me anymore. [Both]: Fading out of time. [Fading Outro: A final mournful cello note echoing into silence] [End]
