Dear Rosemary
Foo Fighters · Wasting Light [2011]
Now get away get away get away from me
I couldn't grow just living in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's following you
You ran away ran away it was right on queue
Shall I go on and on and on and on and on and on again
Rosemary you're part of me you know (You are, you are, you are)
Rosemary you're part of me you know (you are, you are, you are)
Rosemary please pardon me
Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die
Dear Rosemary, dear rosemary
You got away got away got away with things
You got away got away got away with things
For starts your heart gets shattered
Pick up the pieces coming down around you
You ran away ran away it was right on queue
Can I go on and on and on and on and on and on again
Rosemary you're part of me you know (You are, you are, you are)
Rosemary you're part of me you know (You are, you are, you are)
Rosemary please pardon me
Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die
This was no ordinary lie (this was no ordinary lie)
This was no ordinary lie (this was no ordinary lie)
Here from now on
But once I'm gone, I'm gone
Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die
Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
You're part of me (you're part of me)
Dear Rosemary (dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary
You got away got away got away from me
Now get away get away get away from me
