Don't say I never warned you, don't
Don't say I never warned you, don't

Late at night, Devil's eyes
Inner life and inner lies
Is it fate? Is it late?
It's hard to look at you with so much pain

We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately

Lavender and red roses
You still walk towards the dark

You reveal, your scars heal
Analyzing how you feel
Your mistakes, run away
Can't you hear me, is this promise real?

We connect with open hearts, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately
I've welcomed you with open arms, baby
But you still walk towards the dark lately

Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses, yeah
Lavender and red roses
But you still walk towards the dark
