I thought that you'd be here tonight
But now the hours are passing by
And still I try to understand why

I'm standing alone at the candlelight
Waitin' for you to make things right
But now our promises die

Babe, tell me something
Is our love still alive?
Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day and night

But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die, die

It's been a long time since we first met
Years of love turned into loneliness
For the laughter n' tears I'll stand

Like a bird in a stormy sky
I can play your game but I just can't fight
I've read every line in your eyes

Girl, believe in something
I'll love you 'till the end of time

Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die

And I know I'm not the perfect man
But I'd walk a million miles
Just to taste your kiss in one last goodbye

Yeah

Wake me up when the roses die
It's been so hard through day 'n night
But if it's time to say goodbye
I'll pray to God for you to give me one more try
Wake me up when the roses die

(Wake me up when the roses die)
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
And if it's time to say goodbye
You'd give me one more try

Wake me up when the roses die
Yeah, yeah, yeah
