You take the long way home girl What are you avoiding? There's nothing to be wary of Everyone here loves you On your way you will see flowers on the sidewalk Let their scent remind you that you have what you want Don't forget what it meant to you You have something that you don't want to lose Roses are red not black You're just feeling sorry for yourself You want the old days back Don't you know we're living them right now? You just won't see it until two more years have passed And you look back on today and all that you've taken for granted Don't forget what it means to you You have something worth holding on to In the end all these things You must leave behind As you move through this time You'll find You don't want to forget what it meant to you You have something that you don't want to lose Don't forget what it means to you You have something worth holding on to
