I tore all the pictures from all of their frames And all of your T-shirts, I gave them away I gave up those friends we both hung around And I gave up that bar on the east side of town I quit driving by to see if you're home And I took your dead number right out of my phone I came to my senses and I gave up drinking alone But I kept the roses Right by my bed And they should make me lonely But I'm smiling instead 'Cause you weren't the one, babe But you were the closest I let the rest of us go But I kept the roses I guess they remind me of how love can feel Sometimes it don't work, doesn't mean it ain't real We had something different, we had something great Oh, but some things, they just wilt away So, I kept the roses Right by my bed And they should make me lonely But I'm smiling instead 'Cause you weren't the one, babe But you were the closest I let the rest of us go But I kept the roses La-la-la-la (ooh-ooh) La-la-la-la (ooh-ooh) La-la-la-la La-la-la La-la-la Oh, I kept the roses Right by my bed And they should make me lonely But I'm smiling instead Oh, 'cause you weren't the one, babe But you were the closest I let the rest of us go But I kept the roses I let the rest of us go But I kept the roses
