Black Rose
by Trapt

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 filled every high and low.
But lows have drowned the highs away.
Now there's nowhere 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.
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 any 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)

Coudn't be repaired.
(We were 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 here.

Every time I held you,
I knew that it would hurt.
Only through the pain,
I could find a way to love.
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)

Coudn't be repaired.
(We were 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 here.
