Thought it would last, little did I know

You already had some of those feelings

You said, you know it sounds bad

To your friends, you say

Sometimes I wish he would catch me cheating

Forget everything you know

Forget every book you read

It was a long time ago, my friend

In gardens that I kept

Oh Henry, please don't bleed the roses red

Don't stain away the whites from my gardens

You made him make-believe

Till make-believe became life

The day you took Elizebeth

Law before you take it back

For the millionth time, you said the last

I'm more than what was claimed of me

How you say like a middleman?

I'm worn down like a stepping stone

Oh Henry, please don't bleed the roses red

Don't stain away the whites from my gardens

You made him make-believe

Till make-believe became life

The day you took Elizebeth

'Cause the love's gone from me

And you turned to cruel words

And how long before these

Actions speak louder than us?

Thought it would last, little did I know

You already had some of those feelings, yeah

You said, you know it sounds bad

To your friends, you say

Sometimes I wish he would catch me cheating

Oh Henry, please don't bleed the roses red

Don't stain away the whites from my gardens

You made him make-believe

Till make believe became life

The day you took Elizebeth

Oh Henry, please don't bleed the roses red

Don't stain away the whites from my gardens

You made him make-believe

Till make-believe became life

The day you took Elizebeth
