"Oh Roxy" lyrics

"Oh Roxy"

Well, I play where the roses grow
I miss how your affection was all I'd ever know
Every day like a life well dreamed
You were there in pieces, I saw you could be redeemed

Darling, it's no use playing this role
It can break your heart, it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold

Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

I swear I'm not here to make you sigh
I know the sun leaves you cold and the moon makes you cry
When nothing is everything everything is all right
I know I'm the one to turn your black white

Darling, it's a crime how you keep yourself safe
How you've turned this sweet life into your grave
Give me just a sign that your heart still beats
That you walked your last down these dead end streets

Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go

Darling, it's no use playing this role
It can break your heart it can split your soul
Playing this game makes you hard and cold
Let me take these chains and this blindfold

Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
Roxy, please don't go
