Black Rose

I saw you in the garden

I wanted you so much

I really thought that you were different Oh I

couldn't get enough

I tried to save you from yourself

I felt every high and low

now the lows have drowned the highs away

now there's no where else to go

Black rose your thorns are cutting into me

for the last time

Black rose I saw your petals wilt away

I couldn't bring you back to life

You were always where the sun could never go

I never wanted you to have to be alone

But I couldn't find a way to help you grow

Black Rose

You never tell me how you feel

and your moods they always change

I really tried to make it real but you

never had the faith

I tried to give you something good

to take the pain away

I tried to make you understand

You don't have to be this way

Black rose your thorns are cutting into me

for the last time

Black rose I saw your petals wilt away

I couldn't bring you back to life

You were always where the sun could never go

I never wanted you to have to be alone

But I couldn't find a way to help you grow

Black Rose

I'm not the one who hurt you

(I couldn't save you) (You are who you are)

So why are you so scared

All that you've been put through

(I couldn't break through) (we're too far apart)

couldn't be repaired

I'm not the one who hurt

(I couldn't save you) (You are who you are)

I'm the only one who cares

You'll need someone to turn to

(I couldn't save you)

And I will not be there

Everytime I held you

I knew that it would hurt

Only through the pain

I could find a way to learn

Black rose your thorns are cutting into me

for the last time

Black rose I watched your petals wilt away

So wilt away couldn't bring you back to life

You were always where the sun could never go

I never wanted you to have to be alone

But I couldn't find a way to help you grow

Black Rose

I'm not the one who hurt you

(I couldn't save you) (You are who you are)

So why are you so scared

All that you've been put through

(I couldn't break through) (we're too far apart)

couldn't be repaired

I'm not the one who hurt

(I couldn't save you) (You are who you are)

I'm the only one who cares

You'll need someone to turn to

(I couldn't save you)

And I will not be there
