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
