You were my best friend, always by my side

But somewhere along the way, the lines got blurred in the night

You held my hand, but never meant to stay

Told me that you loved me, then pushed me away

I gave you my heart, but you kept it on a shelf

I thought you’d keep me close, but you only kept yourself

We’re rust and roses, fading every day

You love me like a ghost and then you turn away

We’re tangled in the thorns, but you don’t wanna see

I don’t want your love or your damn sympathy

We’re rust and roses, breaking underneath

We built it up, just to watch it fall apart

You were always running far

I loved you, I did, but it’s never enough

And now I’m done with your games

You pull me in close, then you push me aside

I don’t need your love, I don’t need your lies

Now I'm dancing in the fire, where the ashes fall

You were the mistake I shouldn't have made

But it was you who broke me, now I see the effect

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have this pain

I would have been happier without your name on my mind

Without your empty promises and constant lies

We’re rust and roses, fading every day

You love me like a ghost and then you turn away

We’re tangled in the thorns, but you don’t wanna see

I don’t want your love or your damn sympathy

We’re rust and roses, breaking underneath

I gave you my heart, but you kept it on a shelf

I thought you’d keep me close, but you only kept yourself
