The Rose

Swimming against the current It's been this way from day one Always an uphill battle We never got a single handout from anyone From anyone So tell me if we were "damaged goods" Then what does that make you? As far as I'm concerned You're nothing more than just a worthless suit We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose That grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would've known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me Now I won't take all the credit But you sure don't deserve an ounce So go and talk the talk while we walk the walk There's no way that you can stop us now We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose That grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would've known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me You can lie, you can cheat your way through life Or cou can take what you don't deserve 'til you die You can lie, you can cheat your way through life Or cou can take what you don't deserve 'til you die You can lie, you can cheat your way through life Or you can take what you don't deserve 'til you die But you can never take away our pride 'Cause when they said we couldn't, we did One day you'll be forgotten When they said we couldn't, we did They'll remember our name forever 'Cause when they said we couldn't, we did I forgive you (I forgive you) It's not your fault you couldn't see what I saw You never were to care about the underdog We are the rose, we are the rose, we are the rose That grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own Don't you wish you would've known? How does it feel now that you're in the back seat? I guess you should have had a little more faith in me We are the rose, we are the rose That grew from the crack in the concrete I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own You left us on our own I guess you should have had a little more faith in me
