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
but 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 watched 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 watched 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 so why are you so scared?
all that you've been put through couldn't be repaired
i'm not the one who hurt i'm the only one who cares
you'll need someone to turn to and i will not be there

every time 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
saw them 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 so why are you so scared?
all that you've been put through couldn't be repaired
i'm not the one who hurt i'm the only one who cares
you'll need someone to turn to and i will not be there
