Lord, I'm so lonely
How will I ever find my way?
I look out my window
Rain's falling down
Just like the tears on my face

It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she's not coming back

So many things that I tried to say
It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away

She had her reasons
She never felt there was a need to explain
And she won't be knocking
And she won't be calling on the phone

It feels like this pain could last forever
Now that I know she's not coming back

So many things that I tried to say
It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away

So many things that I tried to say
It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away

So many things that I tried to say
It didn't matter she wouldn't stay
(No, no, no)
I smelled the roses the other day
When she walked away
I woke up to smell them roses
When she walked away, yeah
