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
