She's such a sweet rose
The bright spring, in a dark, cold winter
She's all I can remember
She has that angelic grace
That saved me from my demons and monsters
But maybe it'll be best to forget her
For all her smiles,
Her laugh, her voice that used to make me better
All faded away the day she chose her lover.
I watch the pebble skips in the water
As my heart flips, flips, flips
The ghost of your touch, my knees waver
And I weep, weep, weep.
I hear the rain softly tapping on the window
As I slumber and continue to burrow
In my blankets, blocking the noise with my pillow
I can still hear your twinkling laugh, see you glow
And I can't open my eyes yet and go
For in these fragments of dreams, I can make you stay
Make myself believe that you never say
Goodbye, and forget that fateful day
Forget your broken promise, that you ever went away.
I knew I loved you then, but I didn't tell
You've only fallen and I wasn't well
Cold, cold days with arms wrapped mine
Flowers were wilting, and you're looking for a sign
I want to be better, you want me to be yours
I keep screaming, screaming 'till my voice is hoarse
But you didn't know, didn't know 'cause you were deaf and blinded
I was paralyzed, trying to be found, you're lost, we're both stranded
I was rage, you were kindness, we made a home out of lies
Second chances, third ones, a promise that flies
A pair of wings growing while one withers away
I will never deserve you, I didn't ask for you to stay.
