Dm C Dm C
I'm feeling this time as bad as never before
A# Dm Am
D bleeding wag is fading away
Dm C Dm C
Once you needed me for spending delight
A# Dm Am
But below this funny mask there's a crying face
F C Dm
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
C A# F C
But you'll never realize
F C Dm
My reputation is the one of a fool
C A#
Now watch how a poet dies
C
Hear his cries
Dm A# C F C
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Gm D# F A# C
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
Dm A# C F C
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
Gm D# F A# C Dm
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
The poet inside wasn't given a chance
So he had to live apart
And I realize my best friend am I
And not those parasites who try to stare
Into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies
See me rise
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
