What are the roses for? Petals of red velvet It isn't my birthday or Valentines yet So what are the roses for? What are the diamonds for? Galaxies trapped in stone The magic of Christmas has come and it's gone So what are the diamonds for? Dancing, avoiding the truth Romancing comes easy for you My heart aches for answers; I can't let this moment pass So I'll ask What are these kisses for? Softer than autumn's breath Your lips taste of secrets, a hint of regret So what are these kisses for? Living, avoiding the truth Or knowing what you can't undo My heart has two choices; I can't let this moment pass So I'll ask What are the roses for? Presents so passionate It isn't my birthday or Valentines yet So what are the roses for? What are the roses for? What are the roses for?
