Petals back on the rose

These days when we say goodnight
We're lying facing our own side
Wondering if we're in the right bed.
We've gotten used to all the fighting
I walk out, you start crying
And neither one of us knows what we said.

But all that's gonna change from right now on
I won't give up until we're back in love.

Can we put the petals back on the rose?
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start to put the petals back on the rose.

I haven't been the man I promised I'd be
To fight for us and not for me
Every choice I made pushed you away
And I don't wanna let you go
Because I didn't do all I know
To make you happy once again and stay, stay, stay

And all that's gonna change from right now on
I won't give up until you're back in love.

Can we put the petals back on the rose?
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start to put the petals back on the rose.

I realize it takes more than just wanting it
But with a little work we don't have to quit
Baby please, please.
Help me lift us out and put the petals back on the rose.
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start, yeah I'll win your heart
And I'll do my part to put the petals back on the rose.
