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
Now 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 saw 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 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 saw 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
(I couldn't save you)
I'm the only one who cares
(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
(I couldn't save you)
I'm the only one who cares
(You are who you are)
You'll need someone to turn to
(I couldn't save you)
And I will not be there
