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