Called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you are
All I did was speak normally
And somehow I still struck a nerve
Don't come back, it wont end well
But I wish you'd tell me too
'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
Would roses bloom?
Could roses bloom?
Again?
Retrace my lips, erease your touch
It's all too much for me
And maybe in some masochistic way
I kinda find it all exciting
Like which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door or send me home cryin'?
Our love is six feet under
(Three steps back) I can't help but wonder
If our grave was watered by the rain
Would roses bloom? (One step forward)
Could roses bloom?
No, it's back and forth, did I say somethin' wrong?
It's back and forth, goin' over everything I said
They're playing our sound
Laying us down tonight
And all of these clouds
Crying us back to life
But you're cold as a night
It's one step forward and three steps back
And I'd leave you, but the roller coaster's all I've ever had
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand
No, I don't understand
Help, I lost myself again
But I remember you
