I've been thinking about all the places that I've been
And all the heartache I've been through
When I sit and think about all these things
It's not so easy without you

Your love was everything to me
When you were givin' me roses
All my friends would say
Don't give it up
He'll come back in time
But I really know it's over
And my heart just can't believe
You won't be around here
To love and hold me

Throw the roses onto me
Throw them on me now
Throw the roses onto me
Bury me now
Beneath the roses
Bed of roses
Come on and bury me
Beneath the roses

I believed in you
You said you were my very own
You took the best of me
And left me for another
You went and left me all alone

Throw the roses onto me
Throw them on me now (Beneath the roses)
Throw the roses onto me
Bury me now
Beneath the roses (Bury, Bury)
Bed of roses
Come on and bury me
Beneath the roses

You gave me a dozen
You gave me three
Oh yeah
And now those roses
Don't mean a dang thing to me
Oh, that you want them to do
Is to cover up the pain
That's been done by you

Throw the roses onto me
(Everything I have was wrapped up in you baby)
Bury me now
Beneath the roses
Bed of roses
Come on and bury me
Beneath the roses
