Only Thorns on This Rose

Sweet you were But much too late Only thorns Left on this rose Sweet you were I still taste you No regrets But I need to Hide it all away Always much too late Never to burn Never to burn again Withered away Always too late Never to burn Never to burn again Sweet you were But much too late Only thorns Left on this rose Sweet you were I still taste you Heavy on my lips Oh, how I need to Hide it all away Always too late Never to burn Never to burn again Withered away Always much too late Never to burn Never to burn again The yawn of silence The days of wondering How long can this go on How long can we wear the masks How long til the facade crumbles down How long til it comes to pass? Hold back the river Until the levee breaks And the sky comes crashing down Hold back the tears Don't let the fear take you Down to the bottom Hold back the river Until the levee breaks And the sky comes falling down Don't you let it overrun Don't let go now Not enough Sweet though it could be Only thorns Left on this rose This just won't be No, this just shouldn't be No, no It's not enough Sweet though it could be Only thorns Left on this rose Sweet you were I still taste you Only thorns Left on this rose
