Analysis of "you stepped in it"
Take your red rose fade and die,
you were nothing more than a lie,
a fleeting moment for often,
see it whither alas fall.
Take your red rose fade and smile,
I take away forever in lies,
I told in reprise that were true,
I stomp on your rose to say.
You really weren't worth two bucks,
at circle k, my dear you suck,
at love if it stared at your face,
and graced in your presence enough.
So take your red rose my love,
see it shove high in your eyes above,
in class you can't grasp alas cry,
in your silent world of pain.
