I grew a rose in my heart Petals soft right from the start Nurtured with love every part Thorns hidden played their part Bloomed in warmth shone so bright Day and night such a sight Felt so right held so tight Never knew there'd be a fight Rose in my heart Torn apart Thorns everywhere Underneath my scars Came the storm heart did quake Roots trembling in the wake Every heartbeat felt the ache Every thorn left a stake Tears like rain couldn't stop Pulse went weak started to drop Painful roots they did crop Bleeding out couldn't swap Now the rose fades away In the dark shadows sway Heart with scars forced to stay Thorns within night and day Came the storm heart did quake Roots trembling in the wake Every heartbeat felt the ache Every thorn left a stake Tears like rain couldn't stop Pulse went weak started to drop Painful roots they did crop Bleeding out couldn't swap
