rosebuds and storm clouds

rosebuds and storm clouds, you told me.
you said you were smitten,
or was it smited?
my heart plus 'that smile', so blinding,
the words that were written,
requited,

but you, you didn't know what you were doing,
started a game without knowing the rules,
and while you were ignorantly pursuing,
thoughtless compliments became nothing but cruel
you were nothing but cruel....


rosebud lips,
storm cloud eyes,
gave one a kiss,
made the others cry,
rosebud lips,
storm cloud eyes,
brought one to life,
made the others die,

rosebuds and storm clouds you told me,
you said you were smitten,
or was it smited?
my heart with my smile, so blinding
how could you resist?
how could anyone fight it?

but you, you didn't know what you were doing,
started a game without knowing the rules
and while you were ignorantly, selfishly pursuing
your thoughtless compliments became nothing but cruel
you were nothing but cruel
you made me love you
you didn't have to
but you made me love you
and it was nothing but cruel

nothing but- rosebuds and storm clouds you told me
you told me
you told me...
