Red like roses is what I see at night
I close my eyes tight but I can’t keep out the fright
I want to ask you what to do but can’t cause you’re gone
Not that I blame you but that doesn’t mean the pain won’t go on
She tries to hold me through the screams
Does her best to be there and it’s starting to seem
Like she wants me to move past the sorrow
And remember the peace your sacrifice let us borrow
And while I understand what she’s saying
The moment they told me of you keeps replaying
So for right now my mind knows not of peace
And I’ll be tossing and turning till the nightmares cease
It all happened so fast I’m not even sure
If you’re really dead or if I’ll wake from this hellish blur
To find you standing right here by my bed
Where you’ll tell me it’s ok and was all in my head
