When I poured my heart out, blood flowed
I planted you, watered you with tears
And watched you grow away from me
So much for my green thumb
I´ve overstayed my welcome

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can´t spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can´t spend my life with you

When you´re gone I stumble and fall
I´m told you don´t wanna stay around
Those trains call -- you´re all I need
But you need more than country songs
You need to be getting along

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can´t spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can´t spend my life with you

You´ll have to stay
You´ll have to stay and watch them grow
You´ll have to stay
You´ll have to stay and watch them grow
You´ll have to stay
You´ll have to stay and watch them grow

Plant white roses and plan to cry
If I can´t spend my life with you
Plant white roses, I wanna die
If I can´t spend my life with you
My life with you
My life with you
