There once was a time when I was a girl
That darkness hung in my sky
I was old before I learned to be young
Stone cold 'til I learned how to cryAnd the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin
Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart
I would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apartThe thorns on the roses cut through my skin
The vultures flew down and they pecked
What lay on the surface was a tiny crack
But below was a gigantic wreckSo I held my head down and I dealt with the blows
In hope that I'd soon be free to
Go where the stolen roses grow
To forget all the bad memoriesI would go where the stolen roses grow
I would go where the stolen roses growAnd the weeds in the ground had grew up through my skin
Foresaking a lonesome girl's heart
I would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apartI would go where the stolen roses grow
To forget that I had fell apart
