oh i cannot survive the roses
(repeat verse)
This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close
This may be the last time that I see you
So of this moment I will make the most
This may be the last time I see you
But if you keep me in your heart
Together we shall be eternal
If you believe
We shall never part

[G]These wounds will [Cadd9]mend
But[Em] I cannot sur[D]vive
