Like a Rose

Like a rose that's rooted in my heart

So beautiful, yet so cold

It's tempting, but sharp

Then one day, I noticed the petals on the ground

And now I'm starting to realize

That some things don't work, no matter how hard I try

And I fall asleep the same way every night

Hopin' you are doing alright

And you're with someone who'll hold you close

Keeps it real, won't let you go

Then I'll stand strong as love leaves my eyes

And I won't worry 'cause you found the rose that grows inside your heart

When it's time to leave you, don't know how to go

As minutes turn to hours, as our story begins to close

Yet I fall asleep the same way every night

Hopin' you are doing alright

And you're with someone who'll hold you close

Keeps it real, won't let you go

Then I'll stand strong as love leaves my eyes

And I won't worry 'cause you found the rose that grows inside your heart

And stoke the fire, the flame will grow brighter

And my heart, it's out of my control

Must be flawed by design, I can't leave my love behind

For you, I'd try

Who knows what would've happened if things never fell apart?

So tender, like the rose you knew
