The flowers you sent came to my door And I know what you sent them for The card said you were sorry as can be But angry words we said last night Still hurt me in the morning light And they won't disappear that easily I know that your intentions are sincere I say the words, but you don't seem to hear I can buy my own roses But that's not what I need to make it okay I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty That's the way that I want you to show it I can buy my own roses Pink balloons and chocolate hearts You try to use like cupid darts But you're the only one they help to heal What will it take to make you see The best gift you could give to me Is taking time to know the way I feel? The truth hurts, but it's worse if I pretend And I don't want your apology again I can buy my own roses That's not what I need to make it okay I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty That's the way that I want you to show it I can buy my own roses Oh, I need you to talk to me, I need truth and honesty That's the way that I want you to show it I can buy my own roses I can buy my own roses
