Suicide Machines - I Never Promised You A Rose Garden Lyrics

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I could promise you things,
Like big diamond rings
But if that's what it takes to hold you

Oh, smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along, share the good times while we can

I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I said, Oh oh oh oh, I beg your pardon

How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled...a princess in my time
And your love was so deep
And mine...so blind

You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
A band of gold you said was all you could buy
You never said I'd be a rich man's lady
And oh my darling...no, you never lied

CHORUS:
Well I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled...a princess in my time
And your love was so deep
And mine...so blind

(SOLO)

And now you're gone...and I'm alone, and I'm so lonely
Nothing seems to be the same
One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
In my life there's been a big change

Now...I've a big house
With pillars standing tall all around
Yeah, and I've got a garden
And it's g
