Lord, I'm so lonely   How will I ever find my way?   I look out my window   Rain's falling down   Just like the tears on my face      It feels like this pain could last forever   Now that I know she's not coming back      So many things that I tried to say   It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay   I smelled the roses the other day   When she walked away      She had her reasons   She never felt there was a need to explain   And she won't be knocking   And she won't be calling on the phone      It feels like this pain could last forever   Now that I know she's not coming back      So many things that I tried to say   It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay   I smelled the roses the other day   When she walked away   I smelled the roses the other day   When she walked away      So many things that I tried to say   It didn't matter, she wouldn't stay   I smelled the roses the other day   When she walked away      So many things that I tried to say   It didn't matter she wouldn't stay   (No, no, no)   I smelled the roses the other day   When she walked away   I woke up to smell them roses   When she walked away, yeah
