"Yellow Roses XL" lyrics

I've always wondered what it's like
To have a perfect little life
Like the ones I've seen on the silver screen
You know I love to make believe, so
I've always wondered what it's like

It must be nice

Life is a prison and I'm sitting in its bars
Double my vision
I see what's missing
A life that could've been ours
She livin' in my dreams
And the rent dirt cheap
But I can't pay the bills if I'm
Livin' in my sleep, so
I guess I'll party twice as hard
Yeah, but it must be nice

Oh no, it's gone, baby
We could've had it all
The cars, the clothes, the house
That's filled with yellow roses, dogs, and kids

Good God, I'm gone
But I'll be outside the window
The one I'm staring into
In the middle of the night

Take a look at everything
And wonder what went wrong
I think I had a lotta fun
But I can't remember one
Single second of anything except for

The way
I let you down
I let me down
Ashes to ashes, we all fall down
Around the yellow roses
A pocket full of empty proposals

Oh no, it's gone, baby
We could've had it all
The cars, the clothes, the house
That's filled with yellow roses, dogs, and kids

Good God, I'm gone
But I'll be outside the window
The one I'm staring into
In the middle of the night

Oh, it must be nice

Oh no, it's gone, baby
We could've had it all
The cars, the clothes, the house
That's filled with yellow roses

Good God, I'm gone
But I'll be outside the window
The one I'm staring into
In the middle of the night

Ooo, oh, it must be nice
It must be nice
