[Verse 1:]
watch the ring of the roses burn to ashes
as we fall to our knees we're mourning your passion.
all is one and the same on many levels,
like your date with death to a beautiful heaven.
Pain, fear, pleasure, release.... pain.fear.pleasure.

[Chorus 1:]
and I, I won't sit here and watch you die...
I can't stand near and watch you suffocate
when your own words mean nothing cause your for the worms and...

[Verse 2:]
I've seen an illusion of the truth.
I won't believe and ignorance is bliss.
Yea, ignorance is bliss. ignorance is....

Come back to me and tell me things
of your life of your love can I pray will you hear me please?
Will you hear me please? ohh but;

[Chorus 2:]
now, I won't sit here and watch you die.
Here I am and it makes me cry;
you lift your head and sing the last song we will ever sing
and.....If tables turned would you watch over me?
If the tables turned? yea, you'd watch over me.

[Bridge:]
will you please come back to me?
The ending wasn't a thing like it was supposed to be....
and I know there's no coming back, but susie;
there's not another you for me.

[Chorus 1:]
and I, I won't sit here and watch you die...
I can't stand near and watch you suffocate
when your own words mean nothing cause your for the worms and...

[Chorus 2:]
now, I won't sit here and watch you die.
Here I am and it makes me cry;
you lift your head and sing the last song we will ever sing
and.....If tables turned would you watch over me?
If the tables turned yea you'd watch over me.
