THE AVETT BROTHERS
"Roses And Sacrifice"

Words only won't suffice
Roses and sacrifice for you
Darling don't get me wrong
I've loved for long enough to tell

[Chorus 1:]
You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you want

Spent too much time apart
God bless, we got to start again
Your heart's been suffering
I try to hold it every now and then

[Chorus 1:]
You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you need

[Bridge 1:]
Our life together
Couldn't start too soon
And so we had to settle for
A short honeymoon

Move heaven and earth for you
Prove we can make it through the pain
Can't always disagree
We'll find somewhere to meet, I know

[Bridge 2:]
Between our wildest dreams
And where reality seems to fall

[Chorus 2:]
(I'm not slowing down)
I'm not slowing down
(Waiting for)
I'm not waiting for anyone anymore
I know just what I want
And I know just what I need
I know just what I want
