We've been back and forth, going round and round Beat that dead horse into the ground Caught between a hard place and a rock My mom's still holding out hope for us But some cuts cut too deep to patch up If I knew how to rip that band-aid off Then I might finally let you go this time But I keep trying to bring us back to life I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow There's only so much you can try to fill up a heart when it's got a hole Guess I don't know when to quit And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow Like I'm waiting on spring, but it just won't come Them pretty pink petals, well, I ain't seen one So why the hell can't I just say I'm done? 'Cause damn you make it hard to say goodbye I wish that I knew how to just let it die I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow There's only so much you can try to fill up a heart when it's got a hole Guess I don't know when to quit And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow How do you know if you're holding on a little too long? How do you know if it's good or if it's good as gone? I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow There's only so much you can try to fill up a heart when it's got a hole Don't know when to quit And that's the little bit of loving you that hurts the most I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow I've been watering the roses that ain't ever gonna grow
