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 (I couldn't save you) So why are you so scared (You are who you are) All that you've been put through (I couldn't break through) Couldn't be repaired (We're too far apart)
I'm not the one who hurt you (I couldn't save you) I'm the only one who cared (You are who you are) You'll need someone to turn to (I couldn't save you) 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 So 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 (I couldn't save you) So why are you so scared (You are who you are) All that you've been put through (I couldn't break through) Couldn't be repaired (We're too far apart)
I'm not the one who hurt you (I couldn't save you) I'm the only one who cared (You are who you are) You'll need someone to turn to (I couldn't save you) And I will not be there
