Rose

Picked from the sky and placed in my hand

A rose I will cherish ‘til the very end

Beauty so perfect yet so delicate

I could not resist and I don’t understand

Mystified our lives perfectly aligned

Now I’m searching for a sign

A victim to a situation

But the fire burns

Lighting my soul

Is this just a cruel reminder I am torn?

Paralyzed from the love we left behind

And how we never even tried

Even though this rose hurts to hold

I just can’t let it go

Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone

and cut me to the bone

I can’t let it go, I can’t let her go

Healing from our mistakes

The choices we made

I hope you’ll come back to me someday

With my heart on display

If I let you slip away it would be a tragedy

Outside your walls

Cold, alone

I know you’ll grow into the person I’ve always known

I know you’ll grow even more beautiful

Terrified that the future’s undefined

Maybe all we need is time

Even though this rose hurts to hold

I just can’t let it go

Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone

and cut me to the bone

Even though this rose hurts to hold

I just can’t let it go

Precious thorns wrap my heart of stone

and cut me to the bone

I can’t let it go

I can’t let her go

Even though this rose hurts to hold

I can’t let it go

I can’t let her go

Even though this rose hurts to hold
