I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart And as the door of love between us closes Tears will fall like petals when we part I begged you to be different, but you'll always be untrue I'm tired of forgivin', now there's nothin' left to do So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart I know that I should hate you after all you've put me through But how can I be bitter when I'm still in love with you? So I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart
