Rose

I can see you're just another dying Rose
As the petals slide through my finger tips
All I ever wanted was to hold you
You caught me with a thorn
And now I'm bleeding through
I guess that's the way I like it

To say good-bye
To watch you fade to black
Maybe this is what I wanted all along
To write this song
To see me alone
Maybe this is what I wanted all along

They say a rose... is a rose... is a Rose
But I would give all the others away
Just for this single Rose
Now that you're turning black
I want you even more
I guess that's the way I like it

To say good-bye
To watch you fade to black
Maybe this is what I wanted all along
To write this song
To see me alone
Maybe this is what I wanted all along

A white rose is for purity
So a black rose should set me free
You take my breath away
Just a while longer
And you'll put me to death
So find your resting place
Within my tainted heart
And tear me apart
Until my blood runs black

To say good-bye
To watch you fade to black
Maybe this is what I wanted all along
To write this song
To see me alone
Maybe this is what I wanted all along
