Sometimes you can never say the right thing. At other times you can be misinterpreted. And then you can simply lose your rag! Even roses can't be rosy all the time.

SHOT BY MY OWN TONGUE
Standing on a platform
Reflected in a window
Wondering what I’m doing there
I’m opening a door
Just to find the room is empty
Except for your broken stare
And I know
Even roses can’t be rosy all the time
You told me so
Not every mountain is really worth the climb
CHORUS
Wow wow wow
Shot by my own tongue again
My phone keeps lighting up
And I’m counting all your texts
Just to calculate your mood
But the messages are mixed
I can’t read between the lines
So I guess I’m screwed
And I know
Even summer can’t be sunny all the time
Just goes to show
That you’re living in a different world to mine
CHORUS
It’s no surprise I lost
When winning's what you want at all cost
I thought I’d get away
With the benefit of doubt
That’s what I gave to you
But your rules are not the same
When you’re very highly strung
You just snap out of the blue
And I know
Even perfect moments have to end
When you go
There’s no need to pretend
CHORUS
It’s no surprise I lost
When winning's what you want at all cost
