The Rose - Birth Control

Memories used to fade, to fade slowly away

But I can see your face as if it was today

Where’s all that love gone

Yours is drowned in the river

I’m gonna keep mine — forever

To prove yourself is all you ever wanted

You played the hunter and I played the hunted

As soon as you catched me you turned my head around

You turned my head around

You saw me, you hit me You won me, you took me You looked at me for a while

Than you put me away

I’m just a rose on your fairground

You just played a silly game

It will never be the same — again

I will never feel the same

I will never feel the same

Never feel the same

I look into the mirror, I can see no happiness

All the warmth that I gave you has turned to emptiness

You played the hunter and I played the hunted

As soon as you catched me you turned my head around

You saw me, you hit me You won me, you took me You looked at me for a while

Than you put me away

I’m just a rose on your fairground

You just played a silly game

It will never be the same — again

I will never feel the same

I will never feel the same

I will never feel the same
