Everlast - Sixty-Five Roses Lyrics






It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
It's been too long baby what went wrong
Tell me how it got spoilt
Tell me when it went bad
How to get back to the times that we had

We were both young
And our spirits were bold
Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away

You were 18 I just turned 29
I was fresh out the coffin
Girl you were so fine
The future was bright
The world, it seemed new
I was with some other woman
I was thinking of you
I know how it hurts
I know how it feels
I know it how aches
Cause the heart never heals
We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
Taking out lumps
Took a few blows
Hit a few bumps
Had our fair share of woes
We tried to see good
Through all of the bad
Put on our smiles
Pretend we're not sad
Gotta be tough
Gotta be strong
Gotta be right
Can't afford to be wrong
It's hard to sing the blues
When you're hearing bad news everyday

We worry too much for one couple to bear
Hunger so much for one person to care
Fooling our family
We're fooling our friends
Pray that the pain and the frustration ends
Hope is a chance
Hope is a dream
Hope is a drug
Maybe hope's a vaccine

In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
Shout at the devil
I curse the lord
Offer them everything I can afford
I'd sell out my soul
I'd lie and deceive
Tried to be righteous
Tried to believe
Prayed every prayer
Kicked all of my highs
For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
All of my problems seem to be melting away
The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay

In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray

    It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
    It's been too long baby what went wrong
    Tell me how it got spoilt
    Tell me when it went bad
    How to get back to the times that we had
    We're both young
    And our spirits are old
    Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
    We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away
    You were eighteen I just turned twenty nine
    I was fresh out the coffin and
    Girl you were so fine
    The future was bright
    The world, it seemed new
    I was with some other woman
    I was thinking of you
    Knew how it hurts
    Knew how it feels
    Knew it how aches
    Cos the heart never heals
    We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
    Taking out lumps
    Took a few blows
    Hit a few bumps
    Had our fair share of wounds
    We tried to see good
    Through all of the bad
    Put on our smiles
    Pretend we're not sad
    Gotta be tough
    Gotta be strong
    Gotta be right
    Can't afford to be wrong

    Hunger so much for one person to care

    Pray that the pain and the frustration ends
    Hope is a chance
    Hope is a dream
    Hope is a drug
    Maybe hope's a vaccine
    In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
    Shout at the devil
    I curse the lord
    Offer them everything I can afford
    I'd sell out my soul
    I lighten to see
    Tried to be righteous
    Tried to believe
    Prayed every prayer
    Kicked all of my highs
    For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
    All of my problems seem to be melting away
    The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay
    In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray

    Day 10 of the 14 day treatment in the hospital with my beautiful girl this song tends to be on repeat.

  13. F.... T....

    My son’s CF diagnosis and all the stress of life dealing with a child with CF killed my relationship with his mother. This song hits very close to home. God bless all of you out there who have CF, and hang in there to all the family members going along with the battle. We are finally in a day and age where they are making major progress for these kids. Please support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with anything you can.

    F.... T....

    just wanted to let you know be thankful for all your blessings remember Loved ones you have seen departed just got home from the hospital too nothing to serious blessed be the meeting with everyone on the other side

My childhood was spent playing in hospital elevators and waiting rooms to see if this was the trip she wouldn't come home from...i hate that people have to suffer from this disease and that it takes so many young people from their families. i carry the disease and pray to God that my children wont inherit it from me...i pray for any and all who suffer from this disease

  27. T.... S....

    in the hospital with cystic fibrosis right now. havin alot to think about

    T.... S....

    CF or not, I highly recommend believing in the only faith-based belief that does not fall under a religion. Most people do not know this but when Jesus walked the Earth.
    He even preached about how he was adamantly against religion. It's a faith-based belief and it just gets the tag of Christianity but in reality, Jesus Christ himself does not like Christianity he's all--for Christians AKA followers of Christ or people that believe that Christ came down and died on the cross so that they do not need to live by the Old Law and sacrifice in order to be forgiven for their sins they were forgiven before their sins or even been committed. My father was a very smart man and yes he has his doctorate but that's not the point, he actually sought out to prove the Bible wrong because he didn't want his mother believing in such things. He ended up proving it to himself and he was in extremely logical man. Is no longer with us for the time being but I know that myself and many others will see him again in heaven and that's permanent :-) :-) :-) if you're in doubt oh, there is a scripture verse it's 1st John 4:8 and it's just "God is love". So, if you enjoy love , you will enjoy God😁❤😁❤😁❤😁

    T.... S....

    i hope you are still here!

    T.... S....

    @kat kouch That is so so sweet of you but I'm not the one with CF, it's someone's child, but thank you dear for being 1 of the few caring people left in this world. Wishing you and yours ✌❤ and 😁- from me and mine

    T.... S....

    Keep it up dear! You're doing great!!! Prayers you don't even know about are going on as we speak. God bless

    T.... S....

    Hope all is going good. My prays are with your family

  28. C.... C....

    This song is about a horrible disease called Cystic Fibrosis. It sounds like "65 roses" when a child says it. My love died form CF at 22. I'm now widowed and almost 28. Please pray for us.

    POWERFUL - Sorry to hear about your daughter. My heart goes out to you man, stay strong.

  37. D.... T....

    One of the most underrated artists of all time!!!! Hopefully someday he'll be recognized for the icon he is. Sick of all this Beiber pop shit that the sheep follow.

    D.... T....

    the majority of people buy the fake reproduced pop bullshit. Debbie Gibson, tiffany, Madonna, new kids on the block, every boy band, girl band, solo act in pop. its done because damn nearly everyone in the world is a shallow, meaningless, herd minded, creature of habit. when it comes to artists who have a message, who actually have depth, and something to offer the world thru their talent, are hard to find these days you really gotta look for them.

    D.... T....

    STLOU87 lol say what? haha what decade are you living in?

    D.... T....

    I used dated artists because i don't listen to poppy dumb shit so i don't know who the relevant pop acts are. btw i couldn't be more happy about that fact.

  38. B.... F....

    Love this song

  39. K.... A....

    I love all sorts of music all sorts of artist but Eva, man. His stuff always makes me want to cry.

  44. J.... B....

  45. J.... G....

    This hits so close to home with my son having this horrific disease and raising money to find the cure is so hard but we have big goals would like to put a bennifit concert togeather with artists that have a connection to cf like tammy cochrane celine dion and miley cyrus and of course this band could raise millions to go to cf help spread the word [email protected]

  46. V.... ....

    dont talk act cause youll be kicking your butt till ist red and blue...

  47. V.... ....

    hahaha bullseye :D

  48. O.... ....

    Nah, you should not talk to her, stay away from potential heartbreak and pain. drink and fake happiness until you end up staring at yourself in the mirror, alone and finally realizing you've wasted your life and make nothing but mistakes. then you should continue living your life, because in the end, nobody cares, not even you. Wait for death to come and bring you to a blissful end of a life not worth living, and a death nobody notices. Or, you could talk to her. Really your call, mate.

  49. N.... A....

    Hope is a chance
    Hope is a dream
    Hope is a drug made with hopes of vaccine...

What a badass motherfucker this guy is. It makes me choke up thinking about the lyrics in this song. Well done, and my donation to his cause is on its way. Cheers!!

  88. C.... M....

    If this song does not strike a nerve in your soul...your heart must be stone!! My 1 yr old son was recently diagnosed with a disease that can be fatal. Not CF, but still, feel the pain.

  94. G.... ....

    Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!

  95. x.... ....

    its not that his daughter says it that way. The foundation figured it out that when little kids say cystic fibrosis that it sounds like 65 roses. But awesome you know about this song. Its a passionate song.

    x.... ....

    xSEEDxLESSx actually the very first lady that started the foundation had 2 little girls with this disease..... while on the phone trying to get support one of her daughter's asked her y she was asking people for "65 Roses" just thought u should know.

  96. x.... ....

    Cystic Fibrosis, 65 Roses

  97. E.... E....

    Great live version from Joe Rogan ustream.tv/recorded/21577658/highlight/254187

  98. A.... D....

    This song is about his daughter who has systic fibrousis. He was going through troubles and arguing with his wife because of his daughter's condition. But he would "stare for hours at those beautiful eyes and all of my problems seem to melt away." And his daughter would see the pain in his eyes and tell him "Daddy, everything's ok." The song itself is called sixty-five roses because his daughter couldn't say systic fibrousis right, so it sounded like she was saying Sixty-five Roses.
